I realize that it’s been addressed. I realize that it’s “in the sidebar” or the FAQ or whatever. I still think it’s total ass that Amazon Prime games are included in this forum as free.

I’ve seen the explanation, but it seems like Amazon prime is the only service I ever see getting announcements like this.

Edit: I mean, at this point, start an “Free” Amazon Prime forum.

While I agree entirely that they're not free per-se, if it weren't for them, there would be nearly nothing to post for anyone who doesn't want to use the Epic Games Store.

Lemmy communities are already at a disadvantage to subreddits in terms of attracting and retaining users, so I don't think fracturing communities further than they already are across instances is beneficial.

While I admittedly haven't tried using Arctic's regex filtering options yet, if other Lemmy clients have similar functionality, I would imagine a filter for any post that includes "[Prime/" or "[Prime]" in the title would automatically hide the posts without the need for community fragmentation.
