Hey, TigerClaw. Looks like the Lemmy error of throwing your comment into another thread happened.

I had the exact same thing happen, just with a 2014 Hyundai. Only aftermarket remote starts were available when I bought the car, so that's what was installed at the dealer. Took it in for a recall repair 3 years later and the remote start was broken when I picked the car up.

Contacted multiple dealerships and they wouldn't touch it since it's aftermarket (despite being installed at a dealer). The shop that did the recall repair flat out said I couldn't prove it was their work that broke it so they're not responsible. My only option was to take it to a local shop that does that type of work. Audio install and aftermarket mod shops were the best bet.

The NSFW filter is going to suck. Not because of porn, I don't care about being able to access that on Reddit, but because of the NSFW tag culture. For example, in some miniature painting hobby subs, people will mark anything with blood painted on as NSFW. Hell, over the past 3 years I've seen more and more text posts get a NSFW tag for swearing.

As much as I want to support Relay after using it for so many years, it would suck not knowing what pseudo-NSFW content is being hidden from me.

Here's the source article from The Verge

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass.

The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Verge, is in response to popular subreddits going dark this week in protest of the company’s increased API pricing for third-party apps. Some of the most popular Reddit clients say the bill for keeping their apps up and running could cost them millions of dollars a year. More than 8,000 Reddit communities have gone dark in protest, and while many plan to open up again on Wednesday, some have said they’ll stay private indefinitely until Reddit makes changes..."

I hope that comes eventually. Right now I browse an instance in another tab or window, then copy/paste the community name I want to join into the search on my instance.

Not accusing you of this, but there might be confusion between the instance lemmy.world and the self-titled lemmy.world community. This is about moderation in the lemmy.world community, which is meant to discuss the instance; not moderation of the instance as a whole.

You can do it manually, but if you're operating from your lemmy.world account Beehaw communities won't update for you. You can only view what was posted before the defederation, if I'm understanding things correctly.

I'm fine with a horribly distasteful comment, but for the love of God make it a unique horribly distasteful comment.

Interesting, I'll try playing around with it more. I was on quite a few Beehaw communities, and could only see posts from before defederation while logged in. When viewing those same communities signed out, more recent posts and comments were visible.

I was a huge fan of Wizardy 8 when it released. Being able to type questions and responses to NPCs in a 3D RPG was mind blowing to teenage me. The older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall can be fun for a while as well.

The isometric games from Black Isle Studios were also top notch 90s/2000s RPGs. Baldur's Gate (I & II), Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are all fantastic. Planescape is less combat focused than the others.

Dead Space is fantastic. I never played the original, so I'm glad this remake knocked it out of the park. It's more action oriented like Resident Evil 4, but still atmospheric enough with headphones or a good sound system.

RE7, on the other hand, gets my blood pumping the way Amnesia did when I (tried) to play.

The 'spoiler' filter tag is a nice alternative to NSFW...when it works.

Unfortunately, Reddit doesn't always apply the thumbnail blur, which led to The Mandalorian being spoiled for me. :-(

Hi, here on a Lemmy account! This post showed in my All feed, so it looks like k.bin and Lemmy are starting to federate more (which I think is great).

I think at this point, even were k.bin signups to be closed, defederation is going to be one of the few ways to avoid bad actors spilling from somewhere. I hope that doesn't happen, but if cultures from Lemmy and k.bin end up different, maybe a way to silo what you see to only your service can be found.

"Anyone else see those lights in the sky?"

"Visiting soon! Any recommendations?"

"Is [broad area] safe?"

Plus once other services like k.bin start communicating more freely with Lemmy it can stay relevant.

You have my bow.
