They do stuff like that sometimes, like twitter is doing now, by putting a woman CEO right after Elon set everything on fire, so that twitter vocal minority can blame her and say that Elon was doing everything better. It's what they call the Glass Cliff. Something similar might be happening here, without the anti-feminist part.

At this point I think he's immolating himself on purpose, and after the api changes are done a new saviour CEO will come, who won't reverse anything, but with a clean record.

I've been trying to post content on all niche subreddits I used to lurk in. I basically get the non-reddit links and useful resources and start sharing them here.

I can already find some stuff on lemmy if I search for it. It will take time for everything to be indexed but I think it will work ok eventually.

If demos hurt sales, that means that game devs depend on gamers buying games they don't actually end up liking right? I understand making games has become pricier and pricier, but if the whole business model is dependent on "We want to trick people into getting stuff they don't want", then we have a problem.

I'd much rather keep seeing their content than not. The number 1 reason reddit is useful to me is because of the extremely specific and human information there is. I'd rather be able to look for stuff in one site even if part of it is read-only.

You want to know if pc component A and B work together? Some random person on reddit will have tried it. The normal google results quickly go into auto-generated stuff like the "versus" pages that just compare specs and are completely useless.

I think it might be useful to have a clearer UI about what is happening. So every user that sees content there and wants to participate can go and try to create a user on beehaw. I imagine at some point everything will settle down and federation will be back.

I wonder how will Google's algorithm treat lemmy in the future. Maybe the uncontrolled/federated nature of it will make google ignore it.

If people get enough from a free demo maybe it's time to make shorter cheaper games, and start churning out 2 hour playtrough 15usd games, but with high quality graphics/acting/voices/etc. Or just abolish capitalism and make fun games no matter if they sell or not 😂

Because a company has control behind it, not the people

If lemmy every becomes mainstream the implementation details will be completely lost to people, and that's ok. You can try explaining someone what a web browser is, but people will still say "I opened google" or even "I opened internet" instead of "I opened chrome". With lemmy there will probably be a few huge instances that people just gravitate to, and if/when something goes wrong, communities will have to migrate, and users will have to try to get into a new instance.

I think they are building better mod systems, but they are not in place yet. Or at least that's what I understood.

Are the straights ok?

Even if they do, they would not be able to force instance owners to update to the closed version. And people would take over the last available open source version and fork it. Also, a closed and open source version could co-exist, since the api is open.

It's like old bar names from when people did not know how to read, I don't know what that fediverse and lemmy stuff is, I just go to the white monkey.

Could we also use AI in our benefit? We could try coding an AI mod helper, that tries to detect and flag which posts are irrelevant/agressive/etc. It can take the data of all modlog instances, and start learning what probably needs to be banned, and then you can have a human confirming the data every time. We could even have a system like steam's anticheat where a few users have to validate reports as a user.

That makes sense. I guess there's no one stopping someone from creating an instance which has ads and tries to do a for-profit version right? The only thing that might happen is all the other instances un-federating it.

Spirited away, just because I saw it as a child and it got me hooked on Miyasaki for life. It remains one of the most fun ones for me. It has the right balance between reality and fantasy, between fun and action/danger.

It also has that feeling of looking at a strange world as an outsider that I love, which is the reason I liked the first harry potter film/book for example. The wonder of a new, strange world with new rules that we do not comprehend.

Search by community is not working. If you go to search page, and select a community and click search, it will search in all communities anyway.
