That’s fine and all, but I have one question. Why would you want to want to revisit the biggest video game scam in recent memory?
Pitchfork being on an alternative social platform just feels right to me. So I say, go for it.
I find it interesting that they didn’t suggest the possibility that came to my mind first: cannibalization. If it was small to start with, but in clearing the neighborhood, also was volcanic enough to absorb smaller planetoids, it might have absorbed them and grown.
kbin finally has notifications not throwing an error every time I try to check them, so that much is nice now. I’ve actually had no problems with the Reddit software on my phone, and I’ve unsubbed from most of the communities I was part of there which moved across to lemmy. That choice has really trimmed my experience down to a more focused one nicely. I’ve also gotten done turning federation back off as I want it to be, and my user block list here is getting pretty long, blocking out the spammers that come across my feed.
Of course, because kbin is still one of the smallest sites related to the ActivityPub protocol, there’s limited content here compared to Reddit, Then again, there’s also less content on all of PeerTube (let alone a single site) than there is on YouTube, and I’d take a shot at saying that even Threads has the largest Mastodon community beat by a country mile, let alone what Twitter still has.
So basically, I guess I’d say I’m not a refugee, I’m just doing as I did with Facebook when it first launched after MySpace and Friendster - keeping my options open and looking around.
How many millions are you paying them? Because unless you’re paying into the business tier or an SLA, you are not their customer.
I’ve been finding Brave a better solution.
Funny, they’re actively making it worse any time I try to lower my shields too. They’ve changed, very recently, from a video hosting platform with ads, to an advertising platform with some minor videos in between.
I think it’s time to shut it down, hard. That’s the start of something that will not end well for human beings.
So you want to have the Side colonies from Gundam?
Flipboard was neat originally, but never really held my attention.
Honestly, given the ruckus they’ve been raising for a while now, my feeling is that Beehaw wants to push themselves away from society as a whole. I don’t agree with their perspective, which is part of why I never engage with much of their content or users. All I can say is that I wish them only the best for their echo chamber.
Oh great. Where’s X-Com when we actually need them?
When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.
I wonder how well the pirate community will pick this one up.
Huh. Well, I wonder if we’re headed there
My main email is still at Yahoo.
I’m glad to see point-and-click gaming coming back.
Exactly. People need to vote with their wallets and PCs.
I wonder what this means for Sega now. I hope it’s not predicting a pivot to mobile-first.
Maybe on your instance - it’s your loss. But admins have a choice - defed from them and lose access to all those users and having actual content worth looking at, or federate with them and actually grow your network into something that has enough going on to make people interested. As it is, I use Threads right now. I strongly prefer it to Mastodon. Kbin comes close, but has less content to idly scroll through. If no Fediverse site I use supports Threads, I’ll keep on using it.
