Can you tell us some fun facts or stories?

I saw a comment once that said they are like sharks in that they can smell fear.

Yeah I mean I’m not talking about ReactOS. It’s hard to measure the amount of malware per market share.

I imagine it’s weighted unevenly dependent on it’s user base and target demographic.

I agree but I feel like the obscurity aspect faded out with the I’m a Mac and I’m a PC ads

Ah yes me the intellectual using Kali Linux to play Skyrim

I’ve been a user for years and I would agree with that. The only issue I’ve seen people have recently are with Red Hat and their recent source code policy change

Infinite Steam seems to have taken its place

The good thing is Lemmy isn’t like Reddit where a subreddit becomes locked if inactive for an extended period of time. You could still post there and people who sort by new will see your content.

Even if the mod was active people would likely only see it by sorting through all or manually searching for it.

Also more willing to engage from what I’ve seen

Just like Reddit

I played Max Payne and its sequal recently and I was surprised how well they held up. The gameplay and level design kept it consistently fun

Sure, but why would someone running a near-isolated instance want to list it there? They would just end up dealing with a lot of annoyed & disappointed users.

Maybe they only want to deal with a specific niche. For example a university that only wants to federate with other academic organizations
