  • Call of Duty will finally let console players turn off crossplay to dodge PC cheaters, which is potentially terrible news for all the legit PC players

  • I mean who really cares for pub matches? If you are worried about competitiveness then play pugs. Team stacking and pub stomping isn’t competitive

  • Well if you had community servers instead of brain dead match making this wouldn’t be a problem for PC players

  • Netflix Says Kids Don't Care About Consoles: '8-Year-Olds Aren’t Dreaming of PlayStation 6'

  • My 7yo is the heaviest user of our PS5 but he pretty much only plays Fortnite on it and plays everything else on his switch.

    I think the convenience of switch and mobile games are something that todays kids have that we really didn’t have and that’s why Netflix is saying this.

  • No disagreement that there are many more insufferable people on Reddit and twitter. But whenever meta discussion comes up about leaving those sites such as !watchredditdie@sh.itjust.works there is always a small handful of people that mention they were banned for “disagreements”. Not to mention the meta drama between .ml users and .world users.

    With regards to Dansup, the most common complaints I see are developing Loops closed source and not opening it to federation and still not open sourcing it after 6 months. And with Pixelfed being developed with laravel instead of a stack that is more scalable.

  • Mastodon moving to the ActivityPod (I think that’s the proposal name) Nomadic Identity/DID model like bluesky where the user holds their private key will be essential at some point if mastodon is going to compete with bluesky seriously for twitter refugees

  • Just because the average user doesn’t consider whether they should trust the platform, doesn’t mean the fediverse is less trustworthy. It’s not. Nothing online should be considered trustworthy if it’s not encrypted.

    You still have to consider whether Facebook is trustworthy with your posts and click data, whether the thousands of advertisers they sell your info too are trustworthy. Whether the persons you message are trustworthy and that they won’t get hacked.

    About the same risks as with trusting a fediverse instance operator except they don’t have the same motivations to sell your data.

    I’m not sure if you are aware of fediblock which allows instance operators to coordinate banning and defederating bad actors from the network. And of course you can always mute or block any user or instance you wish independently of your instance’s block list.

    Your data being leaked to “malicious servers” in this case also requires approving a follow to a user on that instance or having your profile set to public (and at that point you should expect your content to be public)

    I do think you are right that it is a paradigm shift of thinking for new users who aren’t familiar with federation. But I think anyone who wants to join will just either have to give up control to big platforms and stay put or shift their thinking.

  • When I first started the reading I figured the person being bullied was the woman who was upset with dan because her concern about disclosure wasn’t really reasonable. I don’t think the bullying problem is innate to the fediverse, and thankfully we have a lot of tools to safely navigate the fediverse and tune out the abuse.

    But there is a not insignificant portion of folks on here that are here because they were banned or warned on mainstream platforms because they couldn’t regulate themselves and still aren’t regulating themselves.

    The vast majority of people I’ve came across are genuinely kind. Dansup doesn’t exactly follow best practices in his development which I think causes a lot of strife in the segment of the fedi population who can’t regulate when someone does something they don’t agree with.

    I don’t agree with how he has handled loops so I just don’t use it. I don’t think ill of Dan at all.

  • Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus

    Jump

  • If you have a private account, why would you accept a follow from a user on a rogue instance?

    I guess you would need to trust your friend to vet whatever instance they join. And you’d have to vet that you aren’t getting catfished by a threat actor using a friends identity but those are all problems regardless of whether that’s fixed since a malicious admin would have access to your posts so your friend can subscribe to them in the first place, whether this is fixed or not

  • You can convenience or security, never both. Unfortunately bluesky’s compromises towards convenience hurt it’s security measures against enshittification

  • Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing?

    Jump

  • I think being added to join-lemmy definitely helps but people that are already on Lemmy aren’t going to that site so it definitely shows that we are growing (or at least replacing people at a decent rate)

    Sounds like you have a good instance, congrats on the growth

  • It’s just the default front end that does that. Using a front end like voyager can automatically redirect links to the instance you are signed in on, more apps and the default front end ought to do that quite frankly
