Welcome back! Just remember, it's a big place. One community might not be representing the fediverse as a whole. Very often there's communities with the same goal on other servers.
This is our 3 year anniversary! And without you guys this wouldn't have happened. I'm glad we have all these passionate people all over the fediverse willing to post the most amazing retro content.
Thankfully it was another pretty quiet year for us as admins of this site. But this is business as usual for us by now, as our site usually doesn't attract a lot of rowdy people.
This was the year that we launched our other retro inspired fedi-place called Retrofed, a PieFed based instance. This software has also proved to be great, and this is my preferred home for browsing myself (but, don't worry, retrolemmy will remain to exist as long as we physically can). We have added topics and feeds there, that can make subscribing and/or following content much easier. Hopefully these feeds will also work on lemmy if and when lemmy 1.0 gets here.
I'm glad you people are here. It's always amazing seeing a retrolemmy account in the wild, and it's great seeing all the active communities and posts here too! Thanks for another fun year!
Cheers!

This is great. I love this so much, even though I've never heard of Ibid.
I really want id to be independent. But that's never going to happen.
I enjoy this game a lot. And I hope they will finish the story with a next game. The radio silence makes me think this won't happen though. Fucking EA being EA.
We at retrolemmy, and most of the fediverse for that matter are not here to judge people for their own choices and/or gender. And I want you to know that retrolemmy is a safe space. We don't ban people from retrolemmy lightly, and even if we do we usually try to solve things through messages instead.
If you ever decide to go "bonnet off" there are no bans coming from us. This is a small server hosted for enthusiasts by me. And I have no intention of ever banning people for their gender or lifestyle.
You can always message me or @Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com directly if you need help in any way or if you have questions.
That's a horrible title for a halo game. Sheesh...
You know that blood samples appearing where there are biological creatures around is not scientific evidence for a miracle right?
There's a lot more needed to prove something scientifically.
But to get back to your question: I think a lot of the hate comes from (excluding the kiddy diddling) the exclusion of doubt. There's a lot not yet explained in this world. And we as a society are at the point where everything unexplained doesn't have to be explained to be "Devine" instead. There is so much knowledge we have collected as a species that makes a lot of biblical stories fantasy.
Religion probably was created as an explanation for the unexplained. We see this even more clearly in pagan religions, by them having a god for literally everything. But Christianity and other monotheistic religions are no exception.
Also religion was used to keep plebians in check. Rules were meant to be broken, but since breaking religious rules will have you burn for eternity, there is an incentive to do "right".
Religion was also historically used as the basis for most wars. WW2 is one of the more extreme examples where people of certain religions were view as subhuman. And this is literally used again by Israel today.
These are my reasons for not being theistic.
We sued people. Well, I think. Since the people are unknown. They didn't show up, so we won. Now unknown people need to pay whatever we say they should pay.
Great job, let's pat ourselves on the back. We fought the man and won.
The bot is getting thirsty.
thanks
