Putting the sauce in awesome.

  • I’ve heard a few of the stories, and they’re absolutely hilarious.

    My favourite is the one where a rich granny married a gay teenager, got angry because he couldn’t perform, so his mom killed him.

  • At a certain point, developers need to ignore the HOA.

  • It’s so funny. If Trump shut the hell up for at least a year, he would have had a Canadian government that was completely pliable to his demands. But he had to yap, and now Poilievre is no shoe-in.

  • Quote posting is already available on Misskey, Friendica, and Akkoma.

    Threads also has that feature, and they use the same standard as Misskey.

    Even Mastodon clients like Icecubes and Phanpy do quite posting.

    At this point, it makes no sense to wait on Mastodon to implement features.

  • Okay, for context, this means that Lemmy has gained 4.4K MAUs over last month.

    Not bad.

  • Hey, where are you getting these stats from? I ask because FediDB is down.

  • You don't need to wait on Mastodon to do it.

    Obviously, I'm not talking about you specifically -- Threadiverse devs generally.

    For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.

  • Right now, you can crosspost to a Friendica group by mentioning the group actor handle (ex: @fediversenews@venera.social. And because Friendica supports quoted boosts, you can boost to a Friendica group through this method.

    Lemmy could easily support this feature.

  • It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.

  • On every retrogaming forum I’ve ever been on, this has been a topic and it’s been a topic for at least 15 years. A few practical bits of advice:

    1. The cheapest games will always be last generations games
    2. Anything not deemed “retro” yet is cheap
    3. Nintendo is always super expensive unless it’s Wii or handheld
    4. Anything Xbox is cheap
    5. PC is cheap, unless it’s big box, but even then sellers will sell big box for cheap because they often don’t know what they have
    6. There’s nothing wrong with buying from GOG, burning to disc, and making your own labels and box art—which is easy to do because it’s DRM-free
    7. Except for PS1, Sony is cheap. But even then PS1 is cheaper than N64 or Saturn.
    8. Nothing wrong with an Everdrive, especially since that’s the best way to play aftermarket games
  • Cults aren’t isolated by others. They self-isolate.

  • People need to know this feature exists and that it’s a good thing.

  • On the Fediverse, no admin decides anything a user does. If you don’t like your server, you can just walk over to another one. Most software even makes account migration between servers super easy.

    Or if you don’t trust admins at all—and I don’t—you can run your own server and federate with who you please.

    This is not Reddit. Admins don’t hold ultimate power of what does or does not get seen. However, you do—and you can mute, block, or defederate as you see fit.

  • Well, you seem to be upset that people are able to block entire instances. That’s just a weird stance for an anarchist to have.

  • What if I told you anyone can run their own server and consequently have the freedom to federate with who they wish?

    The value of the Fediverse isn’t just freedom of speech. It’s freedom of association.

  • You have freedom of speech. I also have the freedom to walk away from your speech and listen to someone else.

  • That’s the same talking points the alt-right uses and we don’t tolerate it.

    And I’ve been on the Internet long enough to watch so-called “progressive” spaces get hijacked by the right wing under the guise of “free speech”.

    When a culture grows toxic, it’s simply toxic no matter their talking points.

    So the fact people have the power to block entire instances at their discretion, this is a good thing.

    You are not entitled to my attention, nor am I entitled to yours.

  • No one is entitled to attention, and sometimes people need to take a breather for their own mental health.

    What do you regard as retro?
