Clear or curate (remove anything political) your watch history, start liberally (hue hue) blocking shit. Install BlockTube. (uBO and SponsorBlock are also a given, just slightly less on topic)

Grave of the Fireflies? Ach Scheiße.

They're trolling, no point feeding the troll.

Shocking.

GoT's final half and definitely last season pissed me off to no end at the time, but in retrospect I'm glad I don't have to care about this anymore.

"We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil! Thank ------ You,"

... yeah, that seems about right.

Most of the content I noticed from there was angry doomposting and news. They're not at the same level as the blatantly malicious ones, I just don't want to deal with that shit as having too much of it blared at me bums me out.

Shit like this is why I wish instance blocking dealt with users, too

They should, but won't. The Lemmy people (or at least devs) aren't exactly apolitical, more's the great big whopping pity. Also downvoting is unlikely to do shit, I would suggest blocking it. I moved to lose .ml, grad, hexbear, slrpnk immediately and this place is so much better for it.

It's more of a permanent flooding situation, but, well, election year. I just block shit that gets to be a nuisance - some instances are entirely devoted to shrill screeching, some have legitimately decent communities that just aren't worth the astroturfing/doomposting/negativity/politics/malicious management/people being twats or 100 other reasons. None of it's missed, except it shows how much of a ghost town this is when you remove the ragebait.

I lost my (several pages long) blocklist in the kbin.run disappearance, Lemmy actually having instance blocking does a lot to make it easier to build back up. I do wish blocking an instance also blocked its users, which doesn't seem like the case.

I think the oldest thing I've played is mostly just NES stuff. Some of those will have been ported arcade titles or whatever, otherwise it's plain ol' SMB1 (1985, I think). I still play SMB3 ('88) quite often.

No, they're pretty much just dumb. In tech, this works along hype cycles where there's gotta be some new thing all the fucking time, and it cures what ails ya and is perfect for every case. This mostly involves taking any actual merits of [new tech] and blowing them way out of proportion and context, making it the best thing since sliced bread. This invariably makes people invest because hype is more important than making sense. When the cycle for that particular tech winds down into the Trough of Disillusionment, a new one shows up.

In canon (hue hue) nah, "God did it" which explains anything.
