Yeah and it’s also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they’ll stop participating.

Not that it even matters at this point :(

This game is amazing. One of the best puzzle games I’ve ever played

Right, but smaller instances break as well. The only solution for that is to have multiple accounts, which doesn’t work very well on Lemmy right now. Hopefully that will be improved

There’s nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren’t looking for specifically a federated platform, they’re just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.

PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it’s a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.

Yeah don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with what’s happening on Twitter, but Nitter doesn’t work anymore

Ok but I don’t post on twitter. I only view posts on Twitter, and they’re pretty much all from relatively big people. So before I can move away, the people with big follower counts needs to move first. The only people on Mastodon that I follow are tech people. All the other people are on Twitter, Threads, or have just straight up left twitter altogether.

Yeah but it’s true. It’s better to ensure Republicans don’t win than try to get your third party in. The problem is not the mindset of the people, it’s the first past the post voting system. If they used ranked choice voting instead, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Yes, very cool. And about Threads, I will probably block Threads myself just because it’s a twitter clone, it doesn’t need to be on lemmy. But people should be able to make that decision themselves.

Yeah that’s probably the better one, lemmy.ml probably isn’t the best place for the communities

That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn’t.

To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn’t need manual approval. But there’s another problem, they can’t interact with Beehaw.

“Simply” picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there’s no indication of what you’re supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the “default” instance, lemmy.ml, you’re met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it’s overloaded.

People don’t want to have to make decisions, especially when they don’t have any information to go off of.

It doesn’t even have to be NSFW. Modding any subreddit work.

Edit: Welp, nevermind. It seems Boost is down now.

No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that’s the choice of the developer.

No I only have Steam Deck, that’s why I don’t want Denuvo, cause then I have to go online. Might end up buying it and seeing if changing the system clock helps.

They have dogs, so that’s not really an option

No, but when you’re reading a comment thread it’s important to know who is saying what. Not sure if impersonation is a huge issue though.

Most of the world likely doesn’t use SMS anymore

That has not been the case from what I’ve seen (I’m Australian). The only widespread methods of communication I see are SMS and iMessage. Things like Discord and Instagram are only used among younger people.

Edit: Actually people do use Facebook messenger. Don’t know how many though

Oh it’s because it’s kbin. Ok makes sense

Wait what? That doesn’t seem right. If you’re the first person to subscribe, you can’t see ANY of the previous posts?! Surely there’s a way to see them from my account. I thought the whole point of federation is you don’t need multiple accounts?

Yeah that’s been my experience, but that won’t be the case for everyone. I mostly play singleplayer games, only a few multiplayer games, so it makes sense that I don’t have issues. But for someone who plays lots of multiplayer games, it wouldn’t work.
