Those FPS games you list all have very good source ports like eDuke32, and Chocolate Doom
- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 14 hours ago:
There are so many ways malware could get through that. What if it waits for a specific date or a certain amount of progress in the game? This automated sandbox probably wouldn’t be smart enough to beat the game, certainly not with as many games as they have.

People would do this on purpose to steal their own money and then beg Valve to pay them lol
- Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 1 week ago:
I think upvoting would be allowed even if you are not a subscriber. Only downvoting would be limited in that way. And yes you could get around it, but small obstacles are surprisingly effective because people are lazy (ever try to get someone to switch to the Fediverse? Lol)
- Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 1 week ago:
This is why it would be good to limit downvoting to subscribers only
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 1 week ago:
Boost is not the same thing as quote posting. Boost is like retweet. A quote post is like when you make a post that references someone else’s post, it looks similar to including a screenshot of their post in your own post, except it’s a real link.
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 1 week ago:
They added support to view quote posts before they added the ability to create quote posts
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 2 weeks ago:
I said “ideally”, but they probably would’ve done a lot of things differently if they were committed to decentralization
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 2 weeks ago:
Well 25% is very strict, pretty sure mastodon.social is more than that for the Fediverse
But yea anything higher than 75% is kinda missing the point, ideally if anyone hit 50% they would close signups and suggest people signup on alternatives instead lol
join-lemmy.org actually hides any instance of 30% of Lemmy github.com/LemmyNet/…/instances.tsx#L451-L456
- Comment on Loops - short form video with ActivityPub - is now open source! 2 weeks ago:
Seems like it, but nothing here yet aside from the official instance
- Comment on Wafrn (tumblr alternative with fediverse and bluesky support) has started using an alternate relay; this means that they depend on none of bluesky's infrastructure to work. 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 weeks ago:
No, the article is about Mastodon.social’s nonprofit
Are you talking about Mastodon gGmbH? joinmastodon.org/de/about
Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany that develops the Mastodon software. Mastodon started in 2016 as an open-source project by Eugen Rochko
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 weeks ago:
The title says Mastodon, not mastodon.social, and it appears that Eugen was talking about the Fediverse or Mastodon, not mastodon.social specifically (hence the word decentralization, the discussion was not centralized on mastodon.social).
I think people are mixing up the discussion between Mastodon vs mastodon.social too much.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 weeks ago:
Why are we focusing on mastodon.social? I’m just talking about the Fediverse. Sure ATProto can theoretically avoid this too but they don’t have as many choices for instances.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 weeks ago:
Well even if mastodon.social complies, there are many many other instances to choose from, from all different countries
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
it must’ve been a big instance going offline (or switching platforms? or blocking the stats collection?)
also note a lot of those graphs don’t start at 0, the Y axis is zoomed
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
yes, probably from fediverse.observer itself going offline

Here’s a link app.wafrn.net

Pretty cool. I won’t get too excited until Bluesky (the company) is less than 90% of ATProto. Even mastodon.social is only like 27% of AP.

- Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah they post a lot of shit. We have too few commenters/voters spread across too many posts, which is a real great way to kill a community. We need the opposite, we already have enough posts, we need more people commenting/voting.
- Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits? 4 weeks ago:
A huge thing that real posts have but bot posts do not have: comments notify the OP and thus have a good chance of getting a response. The bot communities almost never get comments, and even if they do it’s extra rare for them to get a reply.
If I didn’t care about human-to-human comments then I wouldn’t be here or on Reddit, I would just use RSS feeds, or the Google news feed.
- Comment on Halloween: The Game Reveal Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Kinda excited for this, I actually loved the Friday the 13th game. The way voice chat worked made for some great immersion and role playing.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 4 weeks ago:
People always complain about this but Lemmy does actually combine crossposts in your feed. What frontend are you using? Or maybe it’s just bugged?
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 4 weeks ago:
And if they don’t like PieFed then tell them to try Mbin next lol
