Good luck enforcing something like that.

I never really liked Twitter as a concept. It feels like it’s built on an “old man yells at cloud” concept where people just shout their thoughts and nobody gains anything from it.

By comparison forums are there to foster discussions and communities. I thought Mastodon would be better but I spent 5 minutes and it’s exactly the same nonsense.

These stories are always wild to me. Who keeps giving unrestricted access for their credit card to children?

There are so many decent Pokemon clones out there that there’s honestly little reason to buy the new ones. From what I’ve seen they are a total bore fest and way too easy, I think people just need to accept they’re kids games and move on. I personally really enjoyed Monster Sanctuary. Even though it’s a very different game it gave me the same enjoyment of catching monsters and building a team.

I legitimately don’t understand what they’re hoping to gain from the AMA. Unless spez is going to start with “We were wrong, we’re rolling back the changes” then there’s nothing to be said. They ran over 3rd party apps that millions of their users use for no reason. This will be a total disaster.

Adding to what the other guy said, you can think of Lemmy as a collection of servers. Right now you’re on lemmy.ml, but some people are on https://beehaw.org/ for example. Beehaw is also Lemmy, but it’s a different server with different users and communities.

Here’s what makes the Fediverse cool though. You don’t need to go there to interact with them. You can stay on lemmy.ml and access and comment on Beehaw. When you’re on the home page it defaults to “Local”, but if you click on “All” you can see posts from different servers. Same thing when you click on “Communities” at the top. It lets you browse communities on different servers by clicking “All”.

Let’s say you wanted to browse the gaming community on Beehaw. You can write “gaming” in the search field and find gaming@beehaw.org, or you can just type it into your search bar as https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org

Now you can browse, comment, vote, and interact with that community. I posted this comment from https://kbin.social/ , which is NOT Lemmy, but since the Fediverse is connected we can basically interact with each other from different websites.

My proudest moment is cheesing the hell out of the Goron temple. Without spoiling anything, I did not follow the path I was supposed to follow and somehow bumbled by way through to the end.

Executives are really obsessed with making every platform copy every other platform. When Facebook added reactions suddenly every social media had to have them. When TikTok took off suddenly every social media needed to copy it (ie YouTube Shorts, Facebook Stories). Now this…

I yearn for the day hall effect joysticks become the norm. I’ve had 3 PS4 joysticks drift heavily over the years.

I think it’s a servers thing. Lemmy.ml is under a lot of pressure lately.
