  • Bloons Tower Defense 5/6 are great for kids. They do have microtransactions but they don’t nag you to buy anything, and everything is easily obtainable just by playing. Also, nothing that you can buy is “content.”

    If you’re able/willing to download ROMs and emulators, the first handful of generations of Pokemon games are great for touchscreen/mobile. My favorite was always Pokemon Emerald (GBA) but you can easily emulate all the games up to about X2/Y2 (DS) on any modern Android device. (I use “MyBoy!” for the GBA games, but PokeMMO is good for combining both the DS and GBA games into more of a mobile game experience rather than an emulator experience, if that makes sense. Everything is just easier, and probably a lot more accessible for a primary school kid.)

    It’s also worth noting that girls like a lot of the same kinds of games boys like. 🤷‍♀️ Just give her as many good options as you can find and let her decide what she finds fun. Me and my sister had a blast playing CoD Zombies on our aunt’s tablet when we were kids.












  • CCP/Stalin apologists, people who defend the CPP/Stalin.

    How about “advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom”?

    If you genuinely still don’t understand what it means to defend authoritarianism, I can’t help you. It doesn’t get more specific than what I’ve already given you.

    Otherwise, I’m not going to keep entertaining willful ignorance.

    Lemmy.world having no Marxist communities …

    Still has nothing to do with my disapproval of tankie rhetoric. Personally I think everyone should be given a chance to have a civil discussion even if I disagree, but defederation isn’t my decision.

    but very quickly Marxists get branded “tankies” and get banned.

    I’ve never seen a shred of evidence for this, and I can see the modlog. I’m open to checking it out and advocating change if you actually have something to support this, but frankly, you running defense for Lemmygrad doesn’t exactly lend you any credibility.

    If you post Marxist/communist/socialist stuff without a hint of tankie shit or authoritarian apologetics and it gets you banned, you have it here on record that I’ll personally defend you and advocate for change in the community.


  • To be fair I didn’t see anything all that bad when I skimmed Hexbear but clearly Lemmygrad has no shortage of CCP and Stalin apologists.

    Either way, I don’t know why you’re whining at me about a decision I didn’t make or agree to, and has nothing to do with why I don’t approve of tankie rhetoric.

    Communism is a lemmy.ml community … Lemmy.world does not host any communist communities

    Which is accessible by .world users, so why would we need a new one that isn’t as active? Lemm.ee doesn’t have an ALTA community, do you think they all hate ALTA?

    196 is an Anarchist community, not a Marxist one. Supporting Marxism can get you banned there.

    We’re a leftist community. I’ve never seen someone get banned for supporting Marxism, and I’d invite you to post to your heart’s content but the crux of your issue seems to be that we have very different definitions of authoritarianism/tankie posting.
