The Button Season 4 (thebutton.social)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Season 4 of The Button starts in five days; pre-register between now and then for an extra button press and other in-game bonuses.

For those who haven't played before, The Button is a social game where users across four teams compete to keep a button's timer from running out. Players use their limited button presses strategically to maximize benefits for their team while interacting with other players in the in-game chat. Additional puzzles and features unique to each season add optional complexity to the game as well.

Users log in using their existing Fediverse or Bluesky account, with no seperate account needed. The game is developed and managed by @demigodrick@lemmy.zip, the admin of lemmy.zip and piefed.zip.

>> ... “Initially I thought, just let this die a death. But then ..

>> “I thought, this is intimidation. The more people that know about it, I think the better.”

>> Rosen’s poem was written in response to a 2014 decision by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority to ban a radio advert from human rights group B’Tselem which listed the names of children killed in Gaza...
