That would be huge

I went to check my lemmy on my browser and it was just jacked full of meme pages amd subreddit clones that I’d blocked on my mobile client

That’s because standards changed

Complain about things.

Unless it’s something you can keep lighthearted, and maybe make a point with in a funny way. But just bitterly bitching about something in your life is probably the worst (normal) thing you can do. That or treat service staff badly.

He’s a great developer and a shitty producer. When he’s in charge of his own projects there’s nobody holding him accountable and it just spirals into madness and then halfway through when all the hard and fun work of really designing the game is complete, and all that’s left is the boring business of production and finishing the damn thing, he just ADHDs off into the distance chasing the next cool idea/design challenge

Somehow he’s able to keep funding that arrangement, so it hasn’t changed.

The winner of the cube game got to be the “god” of Peters next game which was an MMO-like thing. Only after he won his prize the studio kind of forgot about it and just moved on so he never really won anything

There’s a really good piece about it but I don’t recommend reading it, it’s just frustrating and predictablely shitty behaviour

No not yet, there’s no synchronous multiplayer on Switch

Rotating gifs all over every homepage

No because I didn’t choose this public forum for its privacy or security

Notepad++ , nano if that counts lol

I joined because a company who ran a creative product I used ended up using it as their primary comms channel. So a scene and community formed there, because it was the only way to stay up to date.

I ended up following quite a few people from that community, and I never use the algorithm feed - all I see is posts about games, art, music etc made by the community and it’s where I share or promote my own games and other work.

I never see any other twitter garbage or drama in the course of average use. I have seen the shit thats out there, and as fucking abysmal as it is, it’s no better or worse than default/popular reddit, which I equally avoid.

Connect also seems the most rif-like, so it’s a clear win for me

I remember Armagetron always getting fired up at LANs when I was at uni, 2005ish

Growth for growths sake.

Not just at a platform level but at a community level too. Around 6 or 7 years ago I started to really notice people talking about growing their subreddits, making changes and tools designed to increase the subscriber count.

For what? There’s nothing to gain.

The main subreddit I modded finally became impossible to moderate for quality when, despite our lack of “growth strategy”, the influx of new users became too much for the communitys culture to persist and it slowly turned into a lowest-common-denominator topic-flavoured meme ghetto. And from the outside I saw many of my favourite subreddits fall to the same scenario.

So I would say, we should avoid or rethink the idea of growing lemmy for its own sake. Eternal September will come eventually, lets not rush it

Growth for growths sake doesn’t help anybody

Give The Drummer Some from Ultramagnetic MCs, and that whole album really.

I need loud music so that I can think

Who does that select for though.

Those with the most time? The most money? The most aggressive approach?
Competition doesn’t tend to produce holistic quality; only efficiency.

ActivityPub or whatever BlueSky calls theirs could end up being the perfect protocols for truly Public online spaces, managed by governments in the same sense that they manage public meatspace

For example, I’m not sure how a new user is supposed to distinguish between: Games@sh.itjust.works and Games@lemmy.world This seems like a potentially worse version of reddit’s games vs gaming vs truegaming.

It’s a matter of time in my opinion. Out of the major federated instances, if (for example, but this applies to any topic) Games@a and Games@b are too similar, one will end up becoming the ‘winner’. Others will either develop their own identities or slowly fade.

Eventually it’ll just be a known thing, Games@a is a little more loose and jokey while Games@b is a little more organised and on-topic, and if you’re 14 and want to get in long-winded insult exchanges about the best CoD then there’s also Games@c

For those wondering, Connect is basically the layout of rif, so if you came from that, connect is right for you
