Anyone can defederate from .ml but they have a lot of users being the dev run site, so many don’t. Or at least that’s the reason lemmy.world has given in the past about why they have don’t federate with hexbear and lemmygrad but still do with ml
Lemmy.ml Lemmygrad Hexbear
Basically the 3 far left instances that will enforce the discourse to be Marxist and anti-west.
Most instances are defederated from the latter two but not the first because that instance is run by the main Lemmy devs (who are communists)
A lot of static site blog generators use markdown to create posts. Lemmy also uses markdown for its’ post formatting. From my understanding what OP has done is that he made this post on Lenmy and has created a front end that basically retrieves the given post from Lemmy and displays it with a more traditional blog style CSS as well as a few other pages that aren’t hosted on Lemmy.
And it’s ok to strategically vote for the least bad option rather than empowering the most bad option while still acknowledging the system is broken
Talk about bait and switch headline
The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.
My kids will though
For people that care about that sort of thing, that’s great. I just need the ability to subscribe to communities and comment on posts and Lemmy has been great for that while using voyager
Probably app support. If Lemmy didn’t have wefwef/voyager during the API debacle of 2023, I probably would not have stuck around. The default UI is terrible for mobile.
I mean who really cares for pub matches? If you are worried about competitiveness then play pugs. Team stacking and pub stomping isn’t competitive
Well if you had community servers instead of brain dead match making this wouldn’t be a problem for PC players
My 7yo is the heaviest user of our PS5 but he pretty much only plays Fortnite on it and plays everything else on his switch.
I think the convenience of switch and mobile games are something that todays kids have that we really didn’t have and that’s why Netflix is saying this.
This is wedistribute’s blogpost on the proposal
I thought it had some sort of branding beyond nomadic identity but I guess I was just misremembering
No disagreement that there are many more insufferable people on Reddit and twitter. But whenever meta discussion comes up about leaving those sites such as !watchredditdie@sh.itjust.works there is always a small handful of people that mention they were banned for “disagreements”. Not to mention the meta drama between .ml users and .world users.
With regards to Dansup, the most common complaints I see are developing Loops closed source and not opening it to federation and still not open sourcing it after 6 months. And with Pixelfed being developed with laravel instead of a stack that is more scalable.
Mastodon moving to the ActivityPod (I think that’s the proposal name) Nomadic Identity/DID model like bluesky where the user holds their private key will be essential at some point if mastodon is going to compete with bluesky seriously for twitter refugees
Just because the average user doesn’t consider whether they should trust the platform, doesn’t mean the fediverse is less trustworthy. It’s not. Nothing online should be considered trustworthy if it’s not encrypted.
You still have to consider whether Facebook is trustworthy with your posts and click data, whether the thousands of advertisers they sell your info too are trustworthy. Whether the persons you message are trustworthy and that they won’t get hacked.
About the same risks as with trusting a fediverse instance operator except they don’t have the same motivations to sell your data.
I’m not sure if you are aware of fediblock which allows instance operators to coordinate banning and defederating bad actors from the network. And of course you can always mute or block any user or instance you wish independently of your instance’s block list.
Your data being leaked to “malicious servers” in this case also requires approving a follow to a user on that instance or having your profile set to public (and at that point you should expect your content to be public)
I do think you are right that it is a paradigm shift of thinking for new users who aren’t familiar with federation. But I think anyone who wants to join will just either have to give up control to big platforms and stay put or shift their thinking.
When I first started the reading I figured the person being bullied was the woman who was upset with dan because her concern about disclosure wasn’t really reasonable. I don’t think the bullying problem is innate to the fediverse, and thankfully we have a lot of tools to safely navigate the fediverse and tune out the abuse.
But there is a not insignificant portion of folks on here that are here because they were banned or warned on mainstream platforms because they couldn’t regulate themselves and still aren’t regulating themselves.
The vast majority of people I’ve came across are genuinely kind. Dansup doesn’t exactly follow best practices in his development which I think causes a lot of strife in the segment of the fedi population who can’t regulate when someone does something they don’t agree with.
I don’t agree with how he has handled loops so I just don’t use it. I don’t think ill of Dan at all.
I agree with the author’s assessment that Uncharted and the Last of Us use the right tool at the moment for their stories.
I don’t get the criticism about Call of Duty and Halo following Half-Life’s success of limited cutscenes and scripted events to tell their stories. In fact as soon as the article started these were the exact games I thought of to rebut his point. They are the best story based FPS games of their generation and they don’t need an open world that’s believable in absence of its own protagonist.
Far Cry/The Division/Ghost Recon are all Open World shooters with a believable world. They have terrible (IMO, feel free to disagree) stories though.
I thought his analysis was interesting just not sure what the point was and if it was what I thought it was that Half-Life negatively influenced stories in games then I disagree.
Yeah this is pretty bad for families who want to load a game to each child’s switch without having to buy multiple copies for each child
Nothing gets past you two
It’s still worth it to red-pill people of the harms these algorithms cause and accept smaller network sizes that exclude people who refuse to “quit smoking” so to speak.
