Zacryon , in Steam has a moderation issue

That’s not cool. How long did you wait for them to act? I guess it can take some time until they went through all reports. Moderating is a time-intensive process. But if that’s not the case here, then I agree with you that this sucks and there should be consequences.

Lamb OP ,

You can tell a profile report was dismissed when you can report the person again. If you try to report again and it’s not dismissed, it will tell you you’ve reported the person already.

WarTowel ,

How do you know for sure that it means the report was dismissed? Maybe it’s just time based to stop report spam.

schmidtster ,

Just to figure that out would likely flag their account for report spamming.

I don’t know why this person is reporting so much, and I don’t want to victim blame, but at what point does someone need to look at their own actions to see why so many people are feeling the need to lash out and them the need to report.

It also seems like they are baiting people to have this many reportable incidences. People are assholes, but a lot of time people also aren’t innocent in these exchanges. Which of course matter to the end result when reporting as well.

Who gives a fuck? Ignore him and play some games. Quit being a pussy and letting strangers on the internet hurt your feelings. Fuck Mods. Fuck racist trolls. Fuck whiny bitches.

tdawg , in Steam has a moderation issue

Isn’t this an issue with the game not steam?

Lamb OP ,

No, comments were on Steam.

hakstc , in Steam has a moderation issue

I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you. I reported a racist game I saw on Steam and I don’t think anything ever came of it. You can turn off non-friends leaving comments on your profile, it’s not a great solution but at least it’ll prevent shitty comments on your profile in the future.

This is why my shit’s locked down to only allow viewing and interacting from people I’ve friended tbh

Lamb OP ,

I really like wholesome comments from cool people I’ve interacted with and I don’t mind seeing bigotry if I can use it as proof to get bigots banned from coms so someone more vulnerable won’t have to see it. I do mind if it’s allowed by the platform choosing not to do anything about it though.

i don't use any 'social' aspects of the steam platform. it's used purely for the game library bits--installing and launching games.

schmidtster , in Steam has a moderation issue

I wonder if the amount of reports a user has previously accounts into anything?

If a user has a high ratio of reporting and low issue rates it would make sense to investigate each report fully instead of quick initial decisions.

You may not be meaning to be abusing the system, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Steam has anti abused measures in place that could be a factor here.

Aria , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

I’d remove the need to authenticate for accessing things that are already on your computer. Why does it have a “remember me” checkbox if it’s not going to remember me…

Ganbat , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

Make it less reliant on Chromium. There’s no good reason my library page should use nearly 1gb ram when it had nearly 0 footprint before moving it to Chromium.

And if they roll another chromium-based memory leak into the release? Fuck sake. I spent months only able to run Steam with Chromium disabled, something that’s no longer an option.

30p87 ,

And it’s extremely glitchy on Wayland with an Nvidia GPU, even with hardware based accel disabled. I moved from Spotify to spotify-tui and from Discord to a dedicated FF instance with canary.discord.com opened by default. It has a smaller memory footprint, that’s just sad. And of course it works much better.

Steam is the last thing requiring electron/chromium.

cianmor , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

Just make it consistent. There are so many buttons, etc. with different styles, layouts, etc.

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

Yeah it's one of the major downsides for new users as it will confuse those that are moving from console to PC.

DerisionConsulting , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

I wouldn’t change it, it’s not broken.

Baines ,

seriously stop changing shit to change shit, fucking apple

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

Apple hasn't changed shit in years, the only latest thing they've done is added the USB C what they should have done years ago.

purple ,

To be honest the last big changes that came to mind that made me or other people change our workflow were:

Home button removal

WatchOS control center change

Baines ,

hardware updates aren’t my issue , those done for actual tech updates are great

Google, Microsoft, all the big corpos. Design teams have to justify their existence. Change for the sake of change

@SamXavia
The interface is not outdated.
This not another protest.
Stop it....

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

I'm not protesting for a better UI, I much rather Protest for Trans people's rights.
I was just asking what people might want to update as I know if feels like an older program than most these days.

Let it be managed by the window manager. It’s fucking atrocious in Linux.

Basically everything in this video: youtu.be/cDY2p1CTkPo?si=PxNMLURX7MMx6dLG

Seriously it’s mad impressive

lordnikon ,

I agree with 100% of this but the only other thing I would add is the option to have trailers be played when clicking a game in my library. Since I have so many games from sales and what not that I need to be sold to play a game I already own or have a filter showing all purchased games in a grid that I can browse through. having to click on the game go to info and then going to view store page is a chore.

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

I actually watched this video a few days ago and it's an amazing new look. Wish they would get hired by Value to design the whole system as it's impressive.

Blxter , in How would you change the Steam Interface?
@Blxter@lemmy.zip avatar

I honestly want to be able to use similar plugins or an equivalent from my steam deck. The two j can think of are the HLTB (how long to beat) and the protonDB badges. When I look at my library on desktop I can’t see if it’s deck compatible unless I’m just missing something.

NabeGewell , in How would you change the Steam Interface?
@NabeGewell@lemmy.world avatar

Others already mentioned the more important ones, like less chromium and especiallt better performance jesus christ…

Id want a skin like the ‘steam compact’ one we had years ago, if you wont add skin support then pls add smaller UI as an option for low-res and Deck desktop users
