Yes, quite the odd feeling! On the bright side, I expect Christian probably made enough from app sales to not have to worry for many, many years.

Indeed a very strange feeling. I only opened it to confirm Sync really is no longer working. Will keep my account for now (nostalgia?) but have not been browsing reddit since roughly a week. Feels good. But I’m sure official numbers are going to say “Engagement higher than ever at reddit”.

That’s a bit too much conspiracy for my taste, but for sure, billionaires don’t do anything for our good.

Impressive! I only wish the WvW was not so blobby.

As in people have to stick as close as possible together (for the auras etc.) instead of spreading out, CCing etc.

I love DAoC, though just on freeshards.

Dark Age of Camelot. Old school MMO from 2001. It still has a love server, however, it moved too far from the DAoC I knew back then, so I limit playing to freeshards. The great thing about it is PvP, or rather, RvR: Realm vs. Realm.

There are three realms that fight each other in a large zone. It has a low number of skills, yet a high skill ceiling. CC has a true impact - you could be unable to do anything for 1 minute if you are not careful, have no defenses up or no healer in your group. It is engaging to play in a team in groups of 8 vs 8,to decide which target to pick etc.

Just for me to understand this as I’m pretty new. Each instance has their own “timeline” aka homepage or feed with all content (people you follow, tags etc.), and you either have to access each instance separately or use something like the app you mentioned?

Yes, discoverability is a large weakness of federate systems. As I understood it:

• Instances host communities
• You can access communities from other instances
• To find a community hosted on another instance via search, at least 1 user has to have explicitly interacted with that community (search for it using the full name including instance name)
• This registers it to your ‘home’ instance
• This means, if no one searched for it explicitly, you won’t find it and won’t know it even exists.

Second, due to instances being separate, there can be multiple variations of the same community. For example, a community “Technology” could exist on 10 different instances and is entirely independent from any other with the same name.

Ground.News sieht interessant aus. Gibt es dort überhaupt keine deutschsprachigen Nachrichten, oder einfach nicht exklusive? Der Vorteil an Google News ist, dass es auch die Lokalmediej wie SZ, Zeit etc. anzapft und nicht nur das, was von Reuters kommt.
