I wish there was an official PoE Bluesky account

Honestly I hate this trend where most developer interaction always happens in social media rather than the websites they own. I shouldn't have to visit facebook, twitter, or reddit to be kept up to speed on developer thoughts when there's a perfectly functioning forum right here.

I mirror this opinion.

I greatly dislike the clustering of the internet under single large corpo systems. It gives too much power to a very few companies and stifles discussion. I miss the old internet of the late 90's and early 2000's. Keeping the game discussion on the maker's servers means the rules are those of the creators, not whatever arbitrary shibboleths social media firm is hosting the discussion concocts.

Wild wild west.

When I was a much younger and more belligerent kid, I was once so obnoxious on a particular forum that Max Schaeffer and David Brevik both took the time to tell me to shut the f*** up - in pretty much those terms.

I had it coming by the way.

Good times.

I used to dislike it when GGG virtually ignored their own official forum in favour of Reddit, but I do think social media has its place - if they abruptly run into issues or have planned maintenance, then I think using social media to say "quick tl;dr, click the link for more" has value.

I loved BBS's usenet and early forums. Yeah people could be assholes, but these days no one is allowed to be honest. This means discourse is going through a fake filtering process thats entirely dictated by which "team" you're on. Kids are growing up never being called out. Never knowing their own capacity to be incorrect. Its the perfect breeding ground for high spectrum Dunning Kruger. You think things are bad right now... give this scary delusion cocktail about 10 more years... I think reasonable people have mostly fled social media so its just two nuance free polarities both of which are more or less deluded by their respective echo chambers lensed with selection bias shouting at each other; as permanently incapable of understanding as people speaking different languages.

BTW watch out the community team is deleting comments that are critical of the community team.

I complained about how they're invisible on their own forum and my post was deleted.

Twitter and Bluesky are both trash piles, just with different flavors. Asking for a Bluesky because you don't want to check Twitter practically guarantees that you're part of the bigger problem.

Yeah I don't see the necessity in this.
