@dota__[email protected] you're probably more knowledgeable than me about this, any good sites to add to here regarding following pro Dota 2? I know joinDota isn't what it once was, but is it still the best?
i just caught this looking over my messages again. my apologies. honestly i'm still reading shit occasionally on reddit. i've never been on joindota honestly.
Would be good to have some Dota representation on this sub but I honestly don't know the best is place to catch up on news. joinDota is closed since 2022 in terms of actual articles and news coverage and I don't follow the scene slavishly anymore so I just poke around on Liquipedia around major tournaments.
i mean there's barely any dota representation on the dota sub lmao and it has 10 times as many readers than this place. the place wouldn't have had a post in two weeks if i hadn't started posted tournament threads.
It might currently be a little split too, seeing as there is a Dota sub over on .world as well, and I know there are people who outright refuse to participate in subs on .ml. Though the threads over on .world get even less traction. Would still be a good idea to consolidate subs though I think.
yeah, i have no clue how this website as whole works. when i plug in .world to the end i see that there ARE some other posts.
lmao, and the one guy that is copying my posts
He has an agenda against .ml. I haven't personally witnessed any mod or admin overreach on the (non political, non news) subs I participate in on .ml, but I can understand why some people are against the instance.
I would have preferred him to attempt a consolidation effort rather than straight up doing counter programming though.
i have no clue what the difference between ml or world or why he would ahve an agenda vs ml. i legit just tried to find the largest dota group to join.
.ml is the instance maintained by the Lemmy developers and was the first general purpose instance, so it has a lot of big communities on it due to that. It has a reputation for hosting a lot of mods that are so called "tankies". I haven't really rubbed up against this behaviour myself as I mostly stay away from news and politics subs.
There is a whole sub dedicated to hating on them called [email protected] but I don't hang around there either. I don't care much for the political squabbles.
gotcha. lmao, i've definitely hated on several folks in other areas enough to get comments removed. i've also blocked a few people because they're clearly unhinged.
