Pick your color. Defend your throne. The Button is the Fediverse's ongoing king-of-the-hill experiment: teams battle for the longest unbroken streak of possession, and every press is a strategic call — hoard them, spend them, or bait the other team into blowing theirs too early.

It's part CTF, part social deduction, part chaos economy. Coordinate with your team in-game, cut deals, break them, and see who's still standing on top when the season ends.

New players and veterans both start fresh. Sign up now to lock in pre-season bonuses before Season 5 goes live.

lol nah

that only gives them an extra button press.

the button is one of the coolest things in the fediverse and @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip keeps coming up with fun ideas around the game.

I don't get why this is being so heavily downvoted, the button has been a really fun event the last few seasons.

If it's because of the referral link, here's mine: https://thebutton.social/?ref=9HCTGA :)

Because not everyone finds being part of a psychology honeypot fun.

I guess it's not the usual thing you see here, but people say they want more fediverse events, then get grumpy when there's more events 🤷‍♂️

Thanks 🙏

Out of curiosity (I'm not going to try to change your mind, I just want to check a hypothesis): you've heard about the button in the past and this is your opinion of it ; or this post is one of the first times and the only context?

I was on reddit when the original button took place, still have the stupid grey flare. Didn't take part then, def will not now.
