Yeah, this happened to Mastodon (aka the microblogging part of Fedi) also. I was on Mastodon on-and-off for years before the Twitter exodus, and it was a very different place back then. I can see why people miss the overall community on a platform before it became popular, but then I feel like ActivityPub gives us the tools to shape the communities we want, so we have to engage with it and be more selective than we were before.
Oh, yeah in that case I guess Lemmy propagates this information so other instances can show the “banned” information on a user profile.
I think some people reacted a bit too quickly to that sublemmy appearing though… Give admins some time to evaluate and resolve the situation before impulsively defederating an entire 6000-user instance.
Those must be bans from communities, I assume. A community is linked to a single instance so it can control who is banned. But banning a user from an instance is only meaningful on that single instance. At least that’s my understanding…
In a way, Crysis. There’s a reason the “But does it run Crysis?” meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.
Yes so many great games shipped on XBLA. It’s how I first played Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, and many other indies. There’s still some which are exclusive to the platform, hidden gems like “ilomilo”.
Nice setup. I grew up using classic macs. Powerbooks, Macintoshes, Powermacs. All such beautiful and functional machines (until an Error of Type 2 occurred anyway). I miss that era of being amazed at these wonderful computers, with seemingly new features every year. MIDI. CD-ROM. Netscape!
We’re just like the big commercial social media sites then. Sweet success!
Yeah the Room games are great. I like how intuitively they use the touch controls.
It’s old, but SWAT 4 is still the best tactical shooter ever made IMO.
Mods like Elite Force make the experience even better.
Yeeeeeeeehawww!
Probably got your comment in the wrong thread, but that’s just a Lemmy bug. Yeehaw!
Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have fantastic sound design. The environmental sounds of wind, water, trees and wildlife accompanied by that understated soundtrack makes you feel out in the wilds even though the graphics are minimal.
Sadly, I feel like the Fediverse, based on ActivityPub, was fundamentally designed wrong for scaling potential. I do like Fedi and I like ActivityPub, but I think instances should not have to be responsible for all of this:
Because servers “own” the user accounts and communities it’s not trivial for users to switch to a different instance, and as instances scale their costs go up slightly exponentially.
I wish the Fediverse from the beginning was a truly distributed content replication platform, usenet-style or Matrix-style, and every instance would add additional capacity to the network instead of hosting specific communities or users.
I guess it’s a bit too late for a redesign now… Perhaps decentralized identifiers will take us there in some form in the future.
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
