I was not expecting to wake up to this :(

On one hand, it makes me want to recommend Lemmy.World even more. On the other hand, if Lemmy.World ends up like this too…

It’s a really tricky situation.

I got the worst ending. I should really replay it with a guide some day.

I remember in elementary school we had a lesson on sex organs. When I turned in my test paper, I curiously asked my teacher, “If the sperm is in the male, and the egg is in the female, how does the sperm transfer over?”

All she said was, “Well, what do you think?” To which I replied, “I don’t know.” Then I quietly returned to my desk. Later I discussed it with my friend and we concluded that a male must pee into a female. Because at the time, pee was the only thing we knew came out of the penis.

He has a Samson Meteor microphone. Same as mine. He is cool in my book :D

It’s definitely overkill. Every time I come across a feddit.org image, it’s just broken on my end :/

Good ol 750 Ti.

I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

I love all the anime communities.

Dota Underlords

I remember this. Really crazy how this was all orchestrated. The girls were trained to be part of pranks unaware that they were going to commit murder at the end.

You’re nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.

Have you tried the Caddyfile from Lemmy-Easy-Deploy?

It was 8mb then 25mb then 10mb now (for non-Nitro users)

Close Quarter Combat/Battle

The new game mode looks like the opposite of R6. The map is more open? Looks COD-like. R6 has always been CQB to me.

The interactive props are cool though.

I think Albert Camus’ Myth of Sisyphus addresses this somehow.

Yeah I actually really like P4G even if it looks “outdated”. I played P3R as my introduction to the Persona series but I thought P4G had a lot of charm in its style.

I’d be interested in a remake of P1 and P2 though.

1. Sans Soleil

2. The End of Evangelion Love & Pop

3. Perfumed Nightmare

I can list a dozen more maybe but these three are really unique movies for the cinematography alone.

Lemmy needs to watch more movies outside of Hollywood! :P I removed EoE because for sure someone will say “You watch too much anime” lol

That’s exactly what I meant by:

The Fediverse demands a new kind of usership that understands how the network works.

It’s easy to make statements, suggestions, and opinions, but it’s really hard to actually do things in practice.

We all want more people here. The question is “How?”, and simply saying “Make good defaults” is easier said than done (what are good defaults?) and “good defaults” is too simple of an answer to a very complex issue.

The conversation has been stuck here for over a year already as very few people are actually willing to develop and test these solutions which takes a lot of resources too.

The irony of the situation is that a lot of these solutions that have been suggested also need a central authority. For example, people have suggested creating a central hub where everyone can sign up to. Another example is creating a little quiz which begs the question “Who decides which instances goes there?”.

The best effort I’ve seen in trying to implement a solution are Reddit mirrors which aren’t well-received because nobody likes talking to bots.

As a personal anectode on “lowering the barrier of entry”:

Since I started this instance (ani.social), my goal in mind was to make it very easy for users to sign up. There’s no manual approval here (except when it’s being flooded with trolls). Only email verification is needed – just like every social media platform.

But sometimes when new users sign up, they comment or post on communities in instances that defederated from us.

Now I have to think about how I’m supposed to explain defederation to people, and the moment I do try to explain, that’s a big turn off for many.

Trying to hide federation is impossible. The Fediverse demands a new kind of usership that understands how the network works.

Again, I’m not saying Lemmy can’t improve (it can in a lot of ways), but it all boils down to developer resources and who’s willing enough to test these solutions to see what works and what doesn’t. On the other hand, it takes minimal effort to say “It needs to be better”.
