To give them some leeway - it seems that wasn’t for lack of trying to get more statements from other people involved, and they did try to provide statements by all involved parties were relevant with what they had available.
Some weird, German communist, hello. Obsessed with philosophy (German Idealism and its subsequent evolutions) and history (mainly everything since the French Revolution), as well as the Fediverse. Secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program, but not that good.

That was an interesting summary of the happenings since last time, and I appreciate them delving into the criticisms of their last documentary - which I think was overall also a good work of research overall, even if the mistakes they made (and acknowledged) were real.
OK, knowing that takes a bit of pressure off, thank you very much. Then at least it should be possible to handle this even if adding the new accounts as mods myself won’t work out before tonight.
I tried that, adding my lemmy.world account at the same time as my piefed.world account - sadly that one ended up never showing outside my original instance, and also got removed there without any visible reason. Is there a way for the admins to add it as a mod locally, after my original account is gone come this evening? It’s https://lemmy.world/u/AbnormalHumanBeing.
If not, I guess moving the comm to a new one on piefed.world would indeed be a workaround, but I’d like to try and get it working some other way beforehand. The comm on lemmy.world isn’t closing down, and it would be a bit sad to lose the posts there, right now, it can work as a decent place to browse Top/All of the community to check for past popular PeerTube channels and videos one might otherwise not have heard of.
I’ll try adding my two .world accounts again today, and hope it will work out this time, before closing time later tonight.
One time quite some time ago now, while I was away from home for a few days for work back then, I only brought an old, underpowered laptop to make sure I won’t be tempted to waste any time playing video games. Widelands ended up ruining that plan thoroughly, it’s a really nice, comfy experience.
EDIT: Also, hell yeah can I vibe with that sentiment:
There hasn’t been a Settlers game since 1996. Whether they were good or not, its many sequels, as early as 3, started missing the point of the design. It’s the roads, man. The roads!
I mean - kind of? I do agree a lot of “reaction” content is bottom-of-the barrel shit, but it’s not like this one is just making funny faces and going “woaaah, nonono, they didn’t!!” or something. He does use the video as a jumping off point for his own commentary, providing his own perspectives (those segments are also edited with cuts, showing this wasn’t just turning their webcam on and rambling without any evaluation later). Just roughly looking through the preview thumbnails hovering over the video progress bar, easily more than 50% is talking about topics in the reacted video without even the reacted-to footage on screen.
