Ancestry better be making sure they have all their shit patched now.
In Tech?
Looks like they’re trying to restructure, so not shutting down operations just yet.
But hey, if they do, free scooters!
Let’s go!
FYI, that grandfathered price goes away after December
Beehaw. And effective moderation tools.
I would argue that most Bluesky users don’t necessarily dislike federation, but rather have no idea what it is, or what the larger Fediverse is.
I started feeling this way a while back and eventually realized it wasn’t the games that had changed so much, but me. Getting older really does change your interests and how much you have fun with different playstyles.
I used to not want to play games if they didn’t have some form of multiplayer, but these days if I get to game at all, all I want is a quality single player experience.
Curious, which communities did you end up blocking?
Yes, 30s, USA (Midwest)
My first car I got when I was 16 was a manual transmission so I learned on that.
And even Artemis only works if you have your kbin account on the artemis.camp instance until they come out with an official kbin API.
I’ll say this for OP, the man knows what he likes
There’s a book I read a few years ago named “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” that delvs into this a bit and why humans are so tribal instinctively. Would highly recommend.
It’s definitely forced me to learn a lot within the past few days. I guess I should thank reddit, because if they hadn’t forced the 3rd party apps out of business I wouldn’t have ever heard of Lemmy or kbin.
Part of the problem will be how to make new users understand this, though. Lots of people will be coming from something like reddit where they’ll just want to sign up through a popular instance and likely won’t fully understand what that means.
More advanced users will understand this, but it’s not then I would be worried about.
I’m very curious how this type of platform might perform under mass adoption. If it started getting anywhere close to reddit level traffic I’m sceptical how well the more popular instances would scale, and how the people that can currently afford to run them would be able to afford the infrastructure needed to keep up with millions of users.
That’s correct
