Well, Reddit was open source once as well. Neither going closed source nor all the various scandals, including the last big protest, did a whole lot in changing anything at all.

The fact that the Lemmy devs, who also host Lemmygrad & Lemmy.ml, are Tankies.
Mate, that subreddit is dead because the few upvotes here are from people who came from there. So of course there aren't a whole lot of people on that sub anymore - but that's not indicative of the state of Reddit as a whole, especially compared to the fediverse.
Kbin, on the other hand, has too many issues.
No offense to Kbin’s developer Ernest, who is working hard, but Kbin is still in alpha stage, and it often has server errors (in fact, kbin.social is down right now, and it has been for the whole day), and the userbase and engagement are far behind Lemmy. There are also federation problems between Kbin and Lemmy sometimes. Kbin is also trying to be a more all-in-one product, with both microblogging and forums, and the users there like to have both, which is fine, but Reddit users are mostly forum users and they seem to prefer Lemmy more.
It was not fully down and this completely ignores the issues that Lemmy had when they updated to the next version a while back. Really unnecessary bashing.
But I realized later that this was a misunderstanding on my part, and that this is not an issue as long as the project is open source, with an open development, and as long as you avoid instances like lemmygrad.
Totally not suspicious, but at the minimum a bit ignorant on how open source software development typically goes. And it isn't just Lemmygrad, but even their allegedly more moderate main instance Lemmy.ml, which is really just more of the same as far as users and moderation issues go. More problematic is the fact though that you're still supporting the devs and their problematic views simply by supporting their software and its development by directly using it, and this won't change until a proper fork from actually decent people is going to become the main used Lemmy software.
And overall, no one won this, because the whole protest was a failure as way too many people just remained on Reddit.
I literally said nothing about it not being slick and professional or whatever. But yes, he basically made a cheap zombie game, named it after a very well known zombie game, released it at 75% off, then put it 90% off a couple days later (BUY NOW!) and then immediately went 100% off the next day. This is just fishy and I would not put this junk on a Windows PC because who the hell knows if it is even clean if you're using methods like this?
Buddy, if you're unaware of literally the most common Nazi dogwhistle out there, then that's simply ignorance and naivety on your part. Just because you chose to look away, does not mean they aren't there.

Desperate much? Also really scummy name choice considering Project Zomboid.
The mental capacity and denial of reality from tankies on display once again.
If you mean low poly & texture sized 3D games, then I would say BallisticNG, which is directly inspired by Wipeout from the original PSX. Also, while not quite the same, Valheim has a similar pixelated texture style with low poly models (for today's standards at least).
I'd vote for Project Zomboid but that wasn't even nominated. Steam Awards are just a joke / popularity contest.
I think harassment is probably more appropriate, unless said metaverse somehow allows the sexual assault of avatars, which I don't think exists. I mean, IIRC Second Life technically has sex animations but afaik you have to strictly opt into that stuff. People can't just go around and use your avatar for it and even then it would be the question why she went into such a place & features if she didn't wanted to.
Says the guy with his massive triggered wall of text rant full of straw man arguments. 🤡
