I rather like this trend of conservatives and their like piling up the mainstream social media, leaving the decentralization and smaller medias to those with more progressive thinking.

It feels like things are upside down when I see it happen the other way around.

Did not know about this! Thanks very much, already added myself, and started a list already! :P https://bookwyrm.social/list/1739/s/brazilian-science-fiction

Only moderators from my account’s server can take action against me? This seems… potentially problematic, unless the moderators from federated instances are all in communication with one another? E.g. if I’m a problem on one instance but not my home instance, is there nothing the moderators on the non-home instance can do?

They can stop you from accessing their instance, afaik.

I think the point we need to get from this is: they get to keep their ad machine and pretty numbers, but we get an influx of like-minded people to the alternative social media. To me that’s a win win situation.

Next timez the wave will be bigger, and so on.

The main reason is that although the concessions we make may seem ever so insignificant, they pile up and dettach you from what you were looking for in the first place. You barely see your acquaintances posts on instagram or facebook anymore. Twitter is on it’s way to become a cesspool. Every new Reddit “feature” jist makes the experience worse. It won’t be long for those platforms to all converge into a big mind grinder for propaganda.

In fediverse there is no valuation seeking to ruin things, and there won’t be for the foreseeable future, so it’s good ground to build upon, it’s just good sense.

Take the content problem for example. You can think of that as an opportunity to be the content you want to see.

I feel the generation gap for the first time when I see people complaining about the difficulty of selecting a server to sign up and connect to!

Other than that, it does bring a lot of the atmosphere of the wild west times of the web, in a good way. I’m liking it!

Hopefully we retain a healthy amount of users after this wave passes and everyone is back at reddit. :)

I’ve been itching to play the base game since release, despite the bugs.

I might finally bite the bullet get a rig that can play it. I may even convince myself to get the Steam Deck for it!

Does the base game currently run smoothly on the Deck?

If you think Edge is a bust, I got news for you, if you are using Windows, pretty much everything spies on you now days. :)

Right now is a irish punk band I came across this week: Fontaines DC - Big https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiLk6G5N-3Y

Damn, came here to post bash.org too. Guess I will have to put down my wizard hat.
