I wonder if Embracer even had a lot of stakes in this? They sold of Aspyrs parent company (Saber) a few days before release.

Edit: My bad, apparently they kept Aspyr.

Download an APK of an older version and disable auto-updates.

The API still works well so the old client doesn't have any issues.

I know I can.

But my point is that a lot of users will not stay here if they need to jump through different identical-communities across several instances or other websites to build their content-flow.

Decenteralized systems in all it's glory, but I think at some point we will need to address or come up with a solution on how we market niche communities.

In reddit it was so simple to find your communities. Let's say you grew interest in Balisongs, then you just type r/balisong and there you are. This helps discovery immensly.

Doing this on a lemmy instance will only get you to that instance community. Which means you might have like 10 of these already niche communities spread out around different instances.

Personally I'd think a system where an instance can promote or assign another instance community as the "main" one, with some type of backup feature, would help Lemmy grow.

But I also think that opinion is controversial considering the nature of a decentralized system.

I agree completely.

I don't have examples at hand now, but I feel like I see so much like minorly-sexist talk. Or at least the stuff I only imagined horny men write, in so many threads.

Reddit was the same like ~10 years ago and I don't miss that part of it.

Just gonna hijack this and recommend https://www.renshuu.org/ for everybody trying to learn Japanese.

It's probably the best compaion-app I have found for learning the language.

Issue comes up when people start praising Valve as some godlike entity in comparison.

To be fair, if he said what he wrote here in private, it'd still be extremely bad leadership.

Obviously he should correct them and point out why, but maybe not trash on them entierly.

I agree, run Firefox as your main and then a privacy focused fork of Chromium as your second if you need it for specific website.

Personally I barely ever encounter issues with websites running FF.

On a platform like Spotify I don't really see the issue here.

Have you ever looked through the other 85% of the content? Excluding finding some obscure hits, most of it is trash.

Unless we want to argue that any art in our current economical system should be of equal value no matter what.

Oh, so you want to make a website where you post personal pictures of youself and post updates of your everyday life, while connecting to your friends? It'll be really big you say? There's nothing else on the market lile this? Let's go!!!

Yeah.

We can hope that the mod-tools that are confirmed to be in the works will be open enough that the community can develop something. But I doubt Larian will get the go-ahead to implement actual GM-tools (like in DOS2) for this game.
