Slightly off-topic but recently I saw a bunch of these under the rayshader tag on mastodon, seems like https://fosstodon.org/@terence posts a lot of them if you want to check some out (edit: I might want to clarify that they are likely generated based on data rather than photos from space, though)
To get an impression of the direction they will be taking, their Lemmy post discussing the archetypes of people who might use PostFreely.
This sentence sort of reads like there was a link expected to be in it, but I could be mistaken. I think I found it here.
Or am I missing something?
I think the only distinguishing factor is to target, it must gather data. So that means your activity is being tracked, stored, and shared with third parties. Of course for some people this will matter more than to others, but for those privacy focused you now know for certain they are storing data on you, potentially making money off of selling it, with no way to opt out.
To add to scytale’s description, it’s a fork of misskey that was formerly known as calckey
One thing I’ve been told in the past is that with public voting records you at least get an idea of if brigading is happening, where it’s coming from etc. Though maybe that’s just a giant list of randomly generated usernames but if it’s coming from a single instance there are at least actions to take from that.
I do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That’s obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.
I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn’t even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.
This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I’d like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.
Mastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed
Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn’t much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.
Personally, I didn’t agree with your previous post and I don’t agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they’re the ones paying and maintaining it. If it’s not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren’t locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark “hot” and “sub” and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.
I admittedly don’t follow mastodon development much but wonder if there are plans to allow switching it out. I know firefish allows meilisearch which I’ve read is far more efficient
I’m kind of sad about how large games have become and how little goes into optimizing that since “space is cheap”; though it seems people don’t really care about the bandwidth (environmental) cost of downloading that now that everything has gone digital (not that I’m saying physical doesn’t have waste).
I just kind of wish there were alternates, maybe high-res (free) DLC packs or audio localization packs which I feel like were done in the past but never really became a thing. I find myself sticking to indie games that are only hundreds of MBs instead.
I don’t think the article provides any conclusions besides beat games faster to delete them to clear space.
Might want to check out beat 'em up categories as well. I really enjoy River City Girls 1 and 2 (2 having more QoL improvements), but it might not be for everyone.
Similar to what was said about overcooked/CSD, there’s also Plate Up! which I enjoy but am not sure myself how local co-op is
Had fun playing Maiden and Spell but didn’t seem like there was any online matchmaking available by the time I got the game, so when I saw this I added it to my follow list. Thanks for the heads up, will give it a try.
