I guess this will also end the xbox live to gamepass ultimate conversion which is currently still the cheapest way (without relying on key reseller sites) to get gamepass ultimate.

A lot of the games you tried are on gamepass, including hitman world of assassination.
There are some others aswell, like Aragami 2, sniper elite and plague tale.Might be worth just trying gamepass for 10€ for a month or to see if you can buy a trial key for cheap somewhere, to test the games.

Another game I can recommend but it is a bit different genre is Outlast:Trials. It is a stealth game but if you fail you have to escape and hide. Though this game is pretty explicit with nudity, violence and gore

Have been asking this myself lately.
People always seem to get defensive about this topic, but if an instance gets challenged on a GDPR investigation it could have a huge fine associated to it.
It is good to have this sorted out, so instance owners don’t enter a life changing financial risk.

Currently we probably are too small and fly under the radar, but this could become a big problem as the fediverse scales.

Issues I wonder about:

  1. How safe is the Fediverse? Is there a way for a federated instance to misuse the user data? Or can such activity be detected and cause a defedaration.
  2. How easily can all user data be deleted if a request comes in to remove all personal data? Wouldn’t that request have to be extended to all instances your instance is currently federated with?
  3. Instances probably wouldn’t be able to handle a bad actor (for example Meta, or spez) that decides to start a mass request attack.
  4. Corporations have lawyers that deal with this stuff, I don’t feel like most instance owners have the same kind of protection here.

I just have one account for kbin.social and one for lemmy.world. Kbin lets me participate on beehaw aswell if I wish to do so.

It gives me two different approaches of the fediverse to test, which i like.

I had issues replying from my lemmy.world account to kbin comments the other day (endless spinning). Not sure if it was an issue with kbin or lemmy.world. but lemmy.world is also still on 1.7.4

I did have trouble today replying between kbin and lemmy.world and vice versa. Not sure if it also applies to other instances

yeah some sites already do that but they don’t release the information without paying
https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/28/reddit-protest-user-engagements-site-activity-impact/

The site they used for their data is https://www.similarweb.com/

I just started these charts in the beginning since i was interested in the number per day instead of the number per minute that is reported in the original source.
Though my data seems to also be incomplete cause of missing data points.

Having some trouble replying between kbin and lemmy.world right now so I am using my kbin instead

I don’t plan on going back since I just can’t condone how Reddit management handled the whole issue, but there is one thing I wonder why it is not a possible solution for 3rd party apps:

Wouldn’t it be possible to ask the userbase to just get the API key themselves?
If every user of a 3rd party app has their own API key, they won’t have to pay anything won’t they, since it will be hard to reach the free tier limit.
And even if a user does reach the limit he can get a couple thousands API calls for just a small number of cents.

Reddit will be still getting the same number of API calls, but it won’t be the responsibility of the 3rdparty dev but on each user if the limit is reached
