How else will they push their UFO conspiracy theories? It didn't work the first dozen times so might as well keep trying.

I don't think this quite qualifies as news. Below is the verbatim description of the site.

"The Purpose of Tiblur: Hi everyone, I'm going to be making some videos about what's really going on the world. There's an underlying purpose of Tiblur. My goal is to unite the world to end the suffering of people on this planet. There is an ongoing alien invasion of this planet. I'm not even being ironic. It's literally happening and I want to share my story as to how tiblur is involved. There will be a lot more posters on here in the coming months if I survive and we are able to adapt to hackers, The CIA, and onslaught from the media. Remember tiblur is meant to be free so everyone can have fun without degeneracy. I've trained the jannies to spot degeneracy. Since Apple rejected us we are going to allow a lot of freedom on this app so the truth is out there. If you are spiritual please help us end the alien invasion of our planet child genocide, child trafficking and disease/damage to people worldwide. A great song that comes to mind is the Michael Jackson song heal the world. If someone has it please post it. Thank You!"

I agree completely and generally describe it as a single-player MMO experience. It does a great job of incorporating the FF storytelling into an MMO environment and I personally love it. I haven't played since they massively condensed the ARR content a few years back.

At the end of the day though, an MMO and a traditional RPG play very very differently and attract a very different audience so I usually give it an asterisk.

The newer games still have the same general story elements and themes that were characteristic of the entries you're used to, but the combat is more like an action RPG. The sky pirate one is FF12(my personal favorite one) and Lightnings entries are FF13. Since 14 is an MMO you've really only missed two main-series games.

I'm waiting on the latest entry, FF16, to be released on PC so I'm no authority, but from streams I've watched the combat is pretty similar looking to the Devil May Cry series.

On top of the other comments, I'd also like to point out that it's a little unfair to blame a brand new fediverse user for not understanding how it works.

I know I certainly didn't understand how it worked with my first account, but you learn over time by using and interacting. You need to make an account first though to get to that point. Lemmy.world is a safe option for a new user who probably doesn't understand the specifics of the decision of where to make an account.

Personally I just block the entire community if all posts are made up of Reddit mirrors. If that's all the posts that are there, that's probably all there ever will be. It just clutters up my feed otherwise. There are a handful of lower post volume communities that I have mild interest in that I've let slide but it seems to have worked well so far.

All the options are pretty much all or nothing at this point. You can block the community the bot is posting to or disable bot posts being visible in entirety in your settings.

This is the internet. Of course I did not read the actual article! What kind of a literate fool do you take me for?!

I was going off memory from watching the event live last year honestly.

I don't think that will help much. They aren't just going to turn away Reverend Bill Clinton if he wants to get on stage.

A lot of people type the way they speak. It would sound ridiculous to include it in a casual conversation with someone you know is using the same standard as you.

I do agree though that a unit should be included when speaking to a broad audience though and I don't think that would be a very unpopular opinion tbh. I'm a man of science though and I've been trained by enough teacher saying "30 what? Bananas?!" that I pretty much always include them be default even when it's clear.

For real. Either way I appreciate you fighting the good fight even if it's a futile effort!

Yeah. For fun I checked from another account and they edited out a lot of their inflammatory remarks that were downvotes to make themselves appear more reasonable too.

I get enough of this in my daily life and don't need to be lectured by a child who thinks that all great human accomplishments happened because someone paid attention really hard for 6 hours straight.

I blocked OP so I can't see if they're still on the same tirade as earlier with fetishizing fixations. Do yourself a favor and just disengage. I'm pretty sure they are a literal child.
