I have, sadly. On steam once the native linux version of a game wouldn't run but the windows one would through proton.

However, yeah I agree, they could so I don't know why they don't.

Ah, okay, thanks for the correction!

That's somewhat depressing if so as I've run into so many assholes here. Still, interesting to know.

There are people who literally cannot leave the house and their community is literally on social media. Are you saying their mental health would not decline if they were unable to reach their community due to some asinine law like this?

We aren't sure how this rebutts what we said. Commercial social media seems to us to be the problem for the most part, open source social media run by real people seems to be a lot healthier from what we have experienced.

Excessive social media usage helps no-one.

Only commercial social media.

Yeah, Heroic is good but sadly it only supports gog and epic. Not everything is from those stores, sadly. Whereas Lutris supports a lot more sources.

Yes. However, before they started supporting and prefering linux, and working on proton then getting any game working on linux was a real mess and the average person couldn't do it for most games.

Sadly most other games stores in the digital space like gog don't give a shit about linux, thus there is still no galaxy on linux, nor are their preservation efforts coming to linux for a long time.

Who?

I've been a moderator on many many things and this is what I've learned:

• Firstly, make sure we are a team with tonnes of support from the get go, both each other and mental health services etc as a bare minimum.
• Secondly, understand if people need to take breaks as it can take a real toll
• Thirdly nobody on the mod team at all should talk down to or criticise other's work, especially not in a group or public setting. Ask them how they're doing, ask them what support or information they need etc and then give it to them.
• Fourthly explain what is important and why it's important in a way each person can understand. Have detailed documents also explaining this.
• Fifthly have for the users of the service etc easy to understand, non legalise rules, CoCs and guidelines etc
• Sixthly if someone violates the rules then you either talk to them personally, if it's harmful then delete it and if it's really harmful (such as CSAM) then you remove them and don't allow them back on no matter what.

Edit: Oh and make sure the mod team is diverse as things caught by only one subset of the population would not be the same as caught by others. Having people of colour, queer, trans and nonbinary people, cis women, disabled, and neurodivergent etc people on the mod team is essential for good moderation.

That's not an exhaustive list but what I've learned by both being a moderator on many many things and watching others moderate. Hope this helps!

Well, can't be a market if it's not on there 😉

Thank you. Is there a way to do so on iPad and does it have a sculpting app there?

Whilst this is terrible it's a good reminder that companies that use automated bots, algorithms, and underpaid and exploited workers for moderation will never be good for social media platforms.

Commercial and social media should never go together in the same sentence if you want it to be good and truly for the people who use it.

any alternatives?

They still need to make the company a worker owned co-op. That would solve most of its problems.

Abolish jails etc.

Awh, we got excited but then saw it's for humans. Guess we can't use it then ☹️

That's both fair and not fair. I think Signal shows how to do privacy correctly by having pretty much no metadata to give. Most other messengers cannot say the same.

But yes, having some kind of legal recourse is important too.

The point is that people interested in privacy and security shouldn't pay attention to such shallow 'privacy' recommendations but should actually do their best to understand things and read writeups etc.

Can you open an issue, or see if one is open already for this?
