The problem I had with no man’s sky is that a large amount of the out of proportion expectations were a direct result of the developers over promising, rather than consumers just being over hyped.

If it helps, you can just use something else like Lemmy and still access all kbin content, that’s what I’m currently doing.

This is interesting as I have had much the opposite effect. I very rarely see anything Linux related. Though honestly I don’t use Linux so that works just fine for me.

That hacker news bit got me, I won’t lie.

Be the change! On a real note though, I feel your pain.

Boost for Lemmy

I only run a small community surrounding my home country, but I only plan on removing things that aren’t directly related to the country or at least adjacent to. As well as anything that is largely irrelevant which I suspect of being spam.

Rest is fine, discussion is healthy. I don’t need to agree with everyone, that isn’t what this is about.

I’m gonna go with no, since I’m reading it perfectly currently.

I do kinda love this name.

Frankly I have absolutely no idea, I would encourage asking if you’re concerned though.

Can’t speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I’ve yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.

Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.

This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you’re in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

Meta and however many other of the giant tech companies.

Often it’s cheaper for these services to take fines than it is to change up their operation, by an order of magnitude.

Sidenote - Hey, been a minute.

Couldn’t have put it better if I tried.

This hyperfixation some have with user numbers or activity stats is nothing but harmful. As you mentioned already, the amount of content, whilst significantly smaller, is much more organic. I’ve got more out of my ~2 months on Lemmy than I did on the previous 2 years I was on Reddit.

I can’t say I have, I’ll put it on my reading list.

Appreciate it, just glad I could explain my view point.

I’m conscious of the rules in this community, so I won’t post it here but if you look in my profile you’ll see my work, thank you though, for enquiring – means a lot.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but I wrote about this exact thing recently (Rainbow Washing & False support of Pride by Corporations/Politicians for financial gain etc)

I absolutely scrutinise all the other forms of corporate ass-holery too. The only difference, that I feel anyhow, is it’s considerably easier to point out the stark contrast between certain corporate actions during pride month, and their actions outside of pride month. It’s a unique situation where we haven’t been experiencing this for so long that it’s simply business as usual.

For me, it’s not a question of hating pride and using this as a means to push through hateful rhetoric – It’s definitely just a case of tackling one thing at a time. Though I absolutely will concede that you’re more than likely correct in your assumption that social conservatives will attempt to hinder the pride movement by wrapping up their bullshit rhetoric and policy in social justice.

Stability – So, uptime and rate at which it updates with Lemmy.

Moderation – One or two good Admins at least to keep things running smoothly and communicate with us Lemmings effectively, and have a decent ruleset.

Federation – Wide enough that I can get the content I’m looking for whilst (likely) not dealing with nutjobs.

The rest is all good, the federated nature of everything means I don’t really need to be where the communities I use the most are.

When I switched from FF to WF it was lighter on system resources, faster and cut out a lot of the telemetry included in FF.

I’ve not used Firefox for well over a year now, so I can’t speak to that still being the case, but those were the main draws for me.

I use this often when I’m writing articles, it’s incredibly easy to use and I’ve yet to have any issues with it.

I use it on Waterfox, for what it’s worth. Absolutely recommend.
