In general it's actually less burdensome.

Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.

I just won't post on the tankie instances like I didn't post on the tankie subreddits. And if the instance I'm on starts censoring like that, I'll make an account on a different one.

Hey there! I'm a human, not an ad. Hello fellow human! I see you're interested in [contextual keyword targeting]. I think you might be {emotion4} to learn about this related thing, [ad for jesus]!

This'll be reddit by the end of the year.

The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there's good news on that front.

Firefox for Android also has this feature for anyone not using Chrome

I'm surprised by how quickly it's become active. Most discussions are still about Reddit or Lemmy, but even that feels like it's changing.

I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.

kbin.social is on beehaw's linked list, not the blocked list

Fortunately something like RES doesn't need Reddit's blessing to exist. A browser extension that rearranges information the browser has already downloaded (to massively oversimplify what RES is doing) doesn't need API access.

They could shut down old reddit but the only reason RES doesn't support new reddit is that it would require rewriting the whole thing. If that was the only option, someone would eventually do it.

I probably hate it less than most people but it doesn't excuse bad design. Warframe, for instance, requires you to always be online - but if your instance is set to Solo, you can pause the game.

I agree this seems kneejerk. If Meta refuses to abide by the standards of interoperability and openness then lock them out, but by doing so ahead of time the fediverse is committing the crime it's pre-punishing Meta for.

Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it's 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

Could make that argument for every genre though. Racing games will always fundamentally be about making a vehicle get to a finish line before the other ones, etc. Applies outside of games, too. Music, books, film, if you set the bar for innovation that high then we just all stop doing art.

Oh that's what's been happening.

Good to know that Reddit can be killed for an entire afternoon any time the community wants by coordinating the use of basic site functions.

I'm still really struggling to get posts to actually submit.

Really fast registration approval, it's nice to see an admin who cares for their community. Still kinda lost with Lemmy but so far so good and I look forward to interacting with everyone.

What do you propose a first person shooter features, if not guns? Non-violent FPS games exist like Splatoon, but those are still guns. Bows are an option, but that's still projectile-based violence.

I see both sides of the argument. I'm trying to migrate away from reddit because I'm tired of the toxicity. But I'm also trying to migrate away from reddit because I'm tired of people on high dictating how I'm allowed to interact with other people. Hopefully one day Beehaw can have the moderators and community managers necessary to allow federation with as many servers as possible without compromising the community. In the meantime I really can't see myself wanting my main Lemmy account on an instance that restricts it so much.
