I had almost forgotten about the bad reddit habits when I first made the transition to Lemmy due to being on mostly less popular subs, so I was kinda expecting a tildeverse.org experience when getting here.
Sadly I got reminded of the fact this is a reddit exodus when people kept talking about spez here, and how reddit so shit now, and how Lemmy is superior and just the general sense of everyone patting each other on the back and you know, Lemmy circlejerk.
I didn't join Lemmy just for it to become reddit again :c
I know 5 year old me would have a little trouble sleeping from some of the sounds (example when you pick up an orb) coming from noita, never mind the occasional worm or kummitus jumpscare
IIRC their reason was world got pretty big (still is) and spam was coming to the instance. So beehaw decided to defederate until world solved their spam problem. However, as they say, "out of sight, out of mind" so beehaw may just forget about refederating world if they do fix the spam. Who knows
I used to play burnout paradise vanity pack. Haven't gotten into it but it seems to be on a revival since players found an older unreleased (and unfinished) version of Big Surf Island
Wendy's tried to get into the Netherlands, but couldn't, because there was already a snackbar (think small fastfood place but greasier) that was registered under the name "Wendy's" at the chamber of commerce. This spawned a lawsuit. You had Wendy's, a local snackbar who claimed rights to the name because they were already established, and Wendy's, a franchise coming from America. They claimed right to the name because they were a franchise, and not just a single fastfood joint.
To solve this issue, the local snackbar opened up a second location, making local Wendy's a franchise, and winning them the lawsuit
Meh, I think the people that are interested in the spacebattles thread will have found it through other means like HN. As for discussing the events as they unfold I think that's best left to the forum itself, rather than discuss it at a proxy on Lemmy
For anyone interested, there is a forum thread which is the closest thing we have to a live blog, along with the thread author's opinions on how veritable the claims of each party currently known to try and replicate the study are.
I have a habit of taking casual glances at other people's phones (don't @ me), and I can tell you I can count the times I've seen someone use an alternative Reddit app on one hand, where as the official Reddit app is semi prevalent.
It's really just us nerds that make the move to somewhere else, casual users would never have bothered.
I think it will be a long time until you can find casual lifestyle advice on Lemmy, if ever. Most people have a hard time grasping what the fediverse is, why it's supposed to be good and figuring out how to follow people on mastodon. We'll stay niche for a while
Even worse is when the bash script you downloaded is only there to do some uname checks and then download and execute more code from the internet
