With defederation isn’t the fediverse no different from just separate bb forums we used to have that Reddir eventually killed them all off? Fediverse with too much defederation is just moving backwards and brings back the problems of the past.

Isn’t that just… Bethesda improving?

I mean while he could physically fly away very easily it’s unlikely he would risk losing access to his properties and accounts in the US.

Yep, got 4 GB of history myself. When my wife updated her phone we made a mistake and had to transfer Signal twice, I didn’t even notice that the first transfer wiped her whole history. What a stupid feature it’s like the Signal devs treat us like children. Unfortunately I haven’t found a replacement that is as popular and I’m happy with yet.

Dopamine is a hell of a drug.

Yeah 30 to 60 is a big difference. Past 60 things definitely start looking real samey though.

Yes.

Been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, trying to finally finish my first campaign with a friend committing genocide against the magisters before BG3 releases.

Probably 2 to 5 years. Lemmy kinda just works and is usable right now. To become better than Reddit the experience needs to be seamless.

How can you view the list of defederated instances?

Edit: Nevermind found it, it’s at the bottom of the page click Instances and then scroll to Blocked Instances.

Most people are probably just doing something completely unrelated. Remember 99% of people aren’t spending a ton of time online.

I won’t lie I only preordered because I wanted the 5 day early play. My excuse though is that I literally have not preordered a game since we still needed to get them from Gamestop and I’ve been waiting for Starfield for like 5 years now.

The sad thing is there’s a right way to do everything they want but this ain’t it. Spez is litterally digging a hole using the bricks he could be building with.

Probably 95% of that is overlapping since one person being subbed to 20 participating subs is counted 20 times, and since some default and massive subs are participating there must be a ton of overlap.

Nah Steve isn’t smart enough for that.

But followers that don’t want to see it could also block those people no?

I hope it stays this way. It would suck being excluded from unrelated content on Lemmy just because I had a disagreement with someone at some point in the past (depending on how block happy people are of course).

Idk I think I can be in favor of this if it worked like this. I can block you and I won’t see anything you post and you can’t DM me, but you can see and reply to my posts (replys that I don’t see) so that you aren’t excluded from the general discussion that my post brings up.

Ah that’s true, then really what is the problem? Do they want more analytics that they get from official clients? Or is Steve Huffman actually just an idiot?

Edit: Actually it seems like they do just want the tracking data from the app since they are now blocking people from using the website on mobile https://lemmy.world/post/57306

Eh unless they made the ads indistinguishable from regular posts then 3rd party apps would just filter them out. I guess Reddit could get around that by disallowing it as part of their API TOS but then they would need to make sure the popular 3rd party apps don’t do it and also possibly sue them when they do.
