Presente pero flojo. Me ha tomado montoneras ponerme algo activo en estas plataformas.

not gvng the thread the ttle "Wsh"

You had one job.

Maybe we can discuss it at the club that meets during the meetings of the Tautology Club?

This is brilliant in ways that both defy, and renew, comprehension.

Are you me? Same instances, same order...

...same fear.

Thanks. And it's understandable, I'm guessing most of the people downvoting are the ones who are trying to defend their sunk cost after having bought into a solution without a problem.

That said, there do are valid use cases for stuff like 1080p or 4K (or for, say, >= 120 fps). I just don't think modern "big corp" media, or TV shows, are good examples of it. Like, honestly, what do you want to watch Avengers: Endgame in 4K for? To salivate at the warts on The Hulk's groin?

I might understand the argument, “we built this community, we can’t just abandon it”.

Odin: "Asgard Reddit is not a place. It's a people."

Spiss Thanos: "Fine. I'll do it myself."

Select your praise. You can praise her pro-SAG action without having to also praise or even care about her anti-vax postures.

You can pass people's messages around, and the messages that are not about them but that their presence and actions help spread, without putting them on a pedestal.

Try it for once. It's fun.

It's not anywhere as crazy as it seems. The Vatican already airs mass in Esperanto, for example, and has done so for quite a long time. Just installing a docker image with Masto in one of their VPSes and setting up and auth connected to some other central services they also already have is perfectly within the reaches of such a small indie dev.

You can’t subscribe or use it ad free

You can.

It's simple: don't do 4K. It's absolutely unneeded.

I've never seen any big media content that actually benefits from more than 720p. Among other things, for watching comfortably on laptops. Heck, for most communication / reaction videos, 540p / 480p is more than enough (in those cases the audio is actually more important than the visuals).

And I still wish there were an “open protocol” so that I could use the steam overlay to chat with a buddy playing elden ring on her xbox while I play trepang2 on my PC.

There are open chat protocols, like XMPP. The issue is corporations either don't use them, or use them to enshittificate (that's what happened to XMPP, even. As for open GUI protocols, which is needed for the second part of your message, same issue: there's open protocols and open toolkits all over the place, but the corps that produce consoles and games won't use them (or, when they do, they'll still lock them behind an "ecosystem").

tl;dr: choose better (more open) games, and you can have p much all the chat you want.

They've posted some explanations before, as have done other people who follow the same pattern. Basically it's to make it easier for people who are migrating into the feddi/lemmyverse to post stuff on the instance they land on, without having to deal with some of the quids of federation so abruptly.

AFAIK, the people who tend to create communities with that pattern (people, not bots) are more than happy to give them away to more responsible people since that's kind of the point.

Disclaimer: I've thought of doing the same for helping discoverability of the stuff I moved here from reddit for.

Federation for wikis doesn't make sense, IMO. For wikis that are intended to serve as authoritative resources, you actually want to require editors to be local accounts because if they're remote, you can never end trolling / vandalism edits. Also, local accounts give more accountability for editorial control since, among other things, editing locally means editing the toolset (eg.: parser modifications, buttons, smileys, custom emojis, whatever) of the local instance.

If they don't migrate to a wiki running on a Minecraft CPU virtual VPS, I riot.
