Reddit still has an absolute stranglehold on !leagueoflegends@lemmy.world

Maybe I should take this opportunity to move the community over to piefed.

You're not unworthy, you fill our days with owls and we learn things everyday cause of you!

The game seems much less active nowadays, to be honest.

I'm glad to see some of you have really gotten impassioned about them that you come check them out every day. I've learned so much along with you guys doing this, and I has a lot of fun now working with animals from inspiring myself to do it bringing you all these photos and facts every day.

Remember FlyingSquid?

On reddit there were powermods, who manipulate hundreds of subs by removing posts that made good karma and then reposting them themselves and removing any kind of unwanted discussion (backed by the admins).

On the fediverse, we have power users that seem to post a lot, but it's mostly because nobody else wants to post for some reason (not counting news comms that use bots or scripted users to automatically post).
Sometimes a mod powertrips or we learn that someone is trying to manipulate a comm, so usually the instance owners just kick then out... And if it turns out they are backed by the owner, then people call it out and usually the instance gets defederated.

There are consequences in the fediverse, so mods/owners are usually more careful about it and the power posters don't go around removing posts to pass then as their own to farm karma.

Aw I'm glad to hear that!

It's no exaggeration - I look forward to seeing the comments from you guys as much as you look forward to seeing the photos I share! ️

I had some momentum before lemm.ee shut down. I consider my comms a success when someone else starts posting.

You should be able to guess what kind of comms they are, lol.

Please help those people out if you enjoy the communities!!

Honestly, I try not to.

It's tough because users here naturally use Linux more often which is incompatible with league. I stopped playing this season since I'm on Linux now, but haven't really looked back.

Who would've thought ripping out everything that made the game unique and interesting in favor of an easier more casual game would be a bad long term decision for a competitive game

This, but also most of the casual players seems to have left.

We tried to play a couple of games back with my friends, every team we faced was much more skilled than us, and the match making couldn't find anyone that was our level

I wouldn't say we appreciate all of them. Just depends on how they do it. If you post frequently that's great. If you dump a dozen posts in under an hour on the other hand I think you're an asshole. All it does is drown out communities. Leaves them dead.

Yeah same, Jesus Christ.

Thank my lucky tuppence that those smashing knockers are pixelated or I would've spaffed right all over bloody Trafalgar Square and what a kerfuffle that would have been
