With defederation isn’t the fediverse no different from just separate bb forums we used to have that Reddir eventually killed them all off? Fediverse with too much defederation is just moving backwards and brings back the problems of the past.

Isn’t that just… Bethesda improving?

I mean while he could physically fly away very easily it’s unlikely he would risk losing access to his properties and accounts in the US.

Yep, got 4 GB of history myself. When my wife updated her phone we made a mistake and had to transfer Signal twice, I didn’t even notice that the first transfer wiped her whole history. What a stupid feature it’s like the Signal devs treat us like children. Unfortunately I haven’t found a replacement that is as popular and I’m happy with yet.

Which we all know is going to happen anyway.

Yeah 30 to 60 is a big difference. Past 60 things definitely start looking real samey though.

Yes.

Probably 2 to 5 years. Lemmy kinda just works and is usable right now. To become better than Reddit the experience needs to be seamless.

I won’t lie I only preordered because I wanted the 5 day early play. My excuse though is that I literally have not preordered a game since we still needed to get them from Gamestop and I’ve been waiting for Starfield for like 5 years now.

The sad thing is there’s a right way to do everything they want but this ain’t it. Spez is litterally digging a hole using the bricks he could be building with.

Probably 95% of that is overlapping since one person being subbed to 20 participating subs is counted 20 times, and since some default and massive subs are participating there must be a ton of overlap.

But followers that don’t want to see it could also block those people no?

If the point is to stop harrasment against the OP then it doesn’t matter if other people see those that the OP blocked. Hiding those blocked by the OP from everyone just allows the OP to create an echochamber centered around themself.

I hope it stays this way. It would suck being excluded from unrelated content on Lemmy just because I had a disagreement with someone at some point in the past (depending on how block happy people are of course).

Idk I think I can be in favor of this if it worked like this. I can block you and I won’t see anything you post and you can’t DM me, but you can see and reply to my posts (replys that I don’t see) so that you aren’t excluded from the general discussion that my post brings up.

Considering how much time I hope to get out of Starfield, once that releases I won’t mind the wait.

To be fair the Fermi paradox says we should have evidence of extraterrestrial life already. There are a few possible explanations and one of them being “the government keeps them hidden” isn’t exactly the most unlikely.

Yep, such a tactic seems really obvious to me, especially considering that the term “conspiracy theorist” was used to discredit those that didn’t trust the official narative on JFK’s death.

Downvotes are used to show disagreement without an explanation which just stifles discussion, and for off-topic comments reporting them works as an alternative.

I do prefer user moderated conversations through downvotes but with the way they are used I don’t really trust us users enough for that.

Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old who works in IT, said she was excited and curious when the service started but found it increasingly off-putting as it went along.

“There was no heart and no soul,” she said. “The avatars showed no emotions at all, had no body language and were talking so fast and monotonously that it was very hard for me to concentrate on what they said.”

Yeah and some decent criticism.

That seems really broad tbh, like me and my doctor friends try to convince people they should brush their teeth twice a day would fall under that.
