Yeah and it’s also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they’ll stop participating.

Not that it even matters at this point :(

Right, but smaller instances break as well. The only solution for that is to have multiple accounts, which doesn’t work very well on Lemmy right now. Hopefully that will be improved

There’s nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren’t looking for specifically a federated platform, they’re just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.

PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it’s a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.

Yeah don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with what’s happening on Twitter, but Nitter doesn’t work anymore

Ok but I don’t post on twitter. I only view posts on Twitter, and they’re pretty much all from relatively big people. So before I can move away, the people with big follower counts needs to move first. The only people on Mastodon that I follow are tech people. All the other people are on Twitter, Threads, or have just straight up left twitter altogether.

Yeah but it’s true. It’s better to ensure Republicans don’t win than try to get your third party in. The problem is not the mindset of the people, it’s the first past the post voting system. If they used ranked choice voting instead, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Would you be able to add upvote and downvote buttons? Also could you make collapse work on comments? Thanks for the script! It’s great!

Yeah that’s probably the better one, lemmy.ml probably isn’t the best place for the communities

That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn’t.

To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn’t need manual approval. But there’s another problem, they can’t interact with Beehaw.

“Simply” picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there’s no indication of what you’re supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the “default” instance, lemmy.ml, you’re met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it’s overloaded.

People don’t want to have to make decisions, especially when they don’t have any information to go off of.

No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that’s the choice of the developer.

No I only have Steam Deck, that’s why I don’t want Denuvo, cause then I have to go online. Might end up buying it and seeing if changing the system clock helps.

They have dogs, so that’s not really an option

Yeah that’s been my experience, but that won’t be the case for everyone. I mostly play singleplayer games, only a few multiplayer games, so it makes sense that I don’t have issues. But for someone who plays lots of multiplayer games, it wouldn’t work.

Yeah I’m gonna play it on Steam Deck, so gamepass doesn’t help

What? Defederating doesn’t fix that.

1. Meta doesn’t join the fediverse
2. Meta introduces convenient, cool and innovative features not originally on fediverse code
3. Everyone wants new features, but features are locked under propietary code.
4. Everyone flocks to meta’s product.
5. Meta is now the fediverse and the fediverse is nothing but a husk of its former self

The solution is 1: to make sure users understand that it’s a bad idea to flock to meta’s instance, and 2: to implement that feature in the fediverse if everyone likes it so much they’re willing to leave. The solution is not defederating now because of the posibbilty that they do that in the future.

Could you publish that build on github? I would love to try it out.

Or maybe even now
