Another vote for the steam controller - it’s versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I’ve wanted to play.

Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.

I feel like this design would work pretty well even for a modern phone. Just flatten the bottom-right menu section and extend the screen over it, and you’d get a regular full-size smartphone with a slide-out keyboard and some handy physical buttons!

“good” is subjective, but I can recommend the Tomb Raider reboots.

The same problem can also be solved with signed messages, like the HTTP Signatures used by Mastodon and most of the other microblogging fedi servers. Signatures allow a message to flow peer-to-peer instead of requiring a direct connection. You would only need a connection when actively interacting with a post on another instance, and its very unlikely that all 10K instances would be interacting with each other. Most likely, the network will consist of smallish groups of loosely-related instances plus a few giant servers that can handle the load of being popular.

I’d be able to commit real, serious time towards my open-source projects. Maybe I’d finally get my fediverse app off the ground? I’d also take up art and gardening for some variety.

RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

it’s all people getting mad on behalf of their instances when everybody behind the scenes is chill and understands!

I think that’s becoming A Thing ™️ on the fediverse recently. I’ve seen this exact scenario play out on the microblogging side more than once.

Not a fan of the UI, but I love the community here! It’s the best parts of Reddit combined with the best parts of Fedi.

Sure, but imagine telling your technically illiterate investors that you blocked a bunch of active users as an “experiment”. I can’t imagine that going over well lol

Email is my go-to example when explaining fedi to unfamiliar people. Its especially accessible to non-technical users because almost everyone has sent an email to someone with a different provider.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing! Do you plan to update it again in the future? I’d love to see what happens an about a month!

Hello all!

I’m Hazelnoot (she/they), a Software Developer from the USA. My main interests are Programming, Gaming (PC and TTRPGs), Anime, and Retrocomputing. I’m also proudly transgender and would love to connect with other LGBTQ+ people here!

I’ve got the usual story - decade Reddit user being driven out by API restrictions. In fact, this is actually my second time being pushed off a mainstream platform and onto the Fediverse. I previously left Twitter for Mastodon after Elon Musk took over and all moderation disappeared. I’ve been very interested in Lemmy as a replacement for Reddit, and I’m excited to be here on Beehaw!
