If you have open registrations you’ll be doing a lot of moderation for spam.

Perhaps Captchas are sufficient?

We require applications

Is this functionality built into the Lemmy software?

Addendum (2024-11-11T00:32Z):

Ah, yeah, it looks like it is configurable in the admin panel [1].

You should probably also have more than one person with access to the server, to avoid the problems we had with feddit.de .

Which problems are you referring to?

• data ingress/egress
• storage (block and DB)

Do you have any estimations on the relationship between user count and average data transfer rates, and the average rate of storage increase?

choose your host wisely

Do you have any particular recommendations for a host?

For moderation you’ll want to join https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world

Thank you! That'd be an invaluable resource.

I've never used AirVPN, but I've used Mullvad for a few years and I rarely ever have any issues with it. I won't deny that I have few complaints, but the complaints that I do have are quite minimal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mullvad based on my own experience.

there’s no style to it

I mean, it depends on how you are defining "style", but, to avoid being pedantic, I actually think that it does have a style, and a very recognizable and unique style at that. It has a very maximalist, industrial, gritty look to it that I love. Everything is so hyper-detailed in model design, texture, and animation. It all fits a very specific aesthetic. It's completely fine if that aesthetic is not to your taste, but I think it's disingenuous to say that it has no style at all.

I hate old games.

Is 2020 considered old...?. I understand that the game was available for some time prior to that, but during that period Factorio was in early access. 1.0 came out in 2020, and I am treating that as the full release, and everything prior to that is beta testing for development.

Factorio's art really does kinda suck.

I will restate the original question: What do you not like about it?

I'm not interested in Factorio because imo it looks terrible.

What do you not like about it?

When did we reach the point of deep fried Tintin?

Can you clarify what you mean by "unique"?

You can, at least, do that externally through RSS:

Honestly, from a day to day standpoint, by my experience of using both, there's little practical difference between, for example, yay, and paru — it mostly just ends up coming down to subjective, nitpicky meta things about the program itself.

Up until this post, I hadn't heard of Aura, but, after briefly looking at its repo, it appears that it's effectively the same as yay and paru [1.2]; what it tries to do differently is it tries to ensure that there are translations of it (I'm guessing its output) in other languages [1.1.1]. One thing that I'm knee-jerk not super fond of is that it utilizes its own centralized metadata server [1.1.2], though I admit that I haven't thought about that a great deal, so perhaps there are some aspects that about it that I'm missing, or perhaps misunderstanding, or perhaps there's a different way to view it.

At least the two hemispheres are separated.
