I wonder if Embracer even had a lot of stakes in this? They sold of Aspyrs parent company (Saber) a few days before release.

Edit: My bad, apparently they kept Aspyr.

I think my largest issue was that they argued their point using a google-summary of an article. Thanks for linking the actual source.

Download an APK of an older version and disable auto-updates.

The API still works well so the old client doesn't have any issues.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

"False"

I know I can.

But my point is that a lot of users will not stay here if they need to jump through different identical-communities across several instances or other websites to build their content-flow.

Decenteralized systems in all it's glory, but I think at some point we will need to address or come up with a solution on how we market niche communities.

In reddit it was so simple to find your communities. Let's say you grew interest in Balisongs, then you just type r/balisong and there you are. This helps discovery immensly.

Doing this on a lemmy instance will only get you to that instance community. Which means you might have like 10 of these already niche communities spread out around different instances.

Personally I'd think a system where an instance can promote or assign another instance community as the "main" one, with some type of backup feature, would help Lemmy grow.

But I also think that opinion is controversial considering the nature of a decentralized system.

I agree completely.

I don't have examples at hand now, but I feel like I see so much like minorly-sexist talk. Or at least the stuff I only imagined horny men write, in so many threads.

Reddit was the same like ~10 years ago and I don't miss that part of it.

If you want to be radical, use Kelvin. At least it scaled identical to C so it's easy to comprehend.

Just gonna hijack this and recommend https://www.renshuu.org/ for everybody trying to learn Japanese.

It's probably the best compaion-app I have found for learning the language.

Issue comes up when people start praising Valve as some godlike entity in comparison.

I'd prefer it John gets a shot at a good franchise. Or just a big standalone blockbuster.

To be fair, if he said what he wrote here in private, it'd still be extremely bad leadership.

Obviously he should correct them and point out why, but maybe not trash on them entierly.
