I have the downvote button hidden completely using the KES script because of that issue.
Reddit allowing you to hide your own up/downvotes to others is a really nice privacy feature that I wish the Fediverse in general had, but unfortunately the nature of federation doesn't make that possible unless you prevent them federating to other servers.
I posted a comment about the game before here. The game has improved since it launched, but if running around grinding for hours to improve your gear at the endgame doesn't sound appealing then you most likely won't enjoy it still.
The game was designed with solo play in mind but later content is much easier if you play with other players. There is matchmaking so you don't need to work about making a party ahead of time.

SEGA will be implementing Wellbia's anti-cheat (Xigncode3) into Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis after 11 years of using nProtect GameGuard. They will allow you to choose which anti-cheat to use, but Xigncode3 is known to be more invasive and restrictive on what it allows to run.

Personally I would have some sort of notice regarding these on affected projects, but I don't think it's enough to warrant slapping an anti-feature flag on them just because of the author's choice of code respoitory hosting provider or CDN.
I'm not sure how using a VPN would help in this situation if you are concerned about having your YouTube account banned? Would you being using that VPN while signed out and with cookies/site data cleared?
They've added more to do but the main gameplay loop still involves running around defeating enemies and getting loot.
-
Since January 2023 they released the 4th region Stia, as as well as story that goes beyond that. The areas that they've added since the 3rd region Kvaris have their own gimmicks to use. They've not released any new regions since then as they said they want to focus on other parts of the game.
-
There's a new Creative Space feature that allows you to build some very impressive stuff.
-
The class level cap is now 75 and they've added a load of class skills for each class as well as handed out buffs.
-
Since launch they added the Braver (Katana & Bow), Bouncer (Jet Boots and Soaring/Dual Blades), Waker (summons familiars with their Harmonizer) and Slayer (Gunblade) classes.
-
Leciel is a quest they added that changes its layout, obtainable buffs and end boss each day. Running it gives you near-endgame augment capsules for your gear.
-
ARKS Rankings are now run weekly and task you with running existing content to get the highest score or best time and place onto a leaderboard. What this content is varies each week, but it can involve defeating a boss quickly, or completing a Trainia dungeon as fast as you can, or racing on hoverboards. The higher you get on the leaderboard the more ranking badges you get which you can spend on cosmetics, some gear and other prizes.
-
Alliances can now compete in weekly rankings by collecting points from completing Alliance Tasks (which also give Alliance Badges). The best Alliances are rewarded with Meseta (the in-game currency).
-
It's not really a feature, but downloading the "PSO2" side of the game is now optional if you play the Steam version. It chops 58GB off the total install size if you don't download it.
There's a load of other features and quests they've added over time that I can't remember off the top of my head. if you haven't played for a long time, I would recommend giving it another try, though pacing yourself is advised.

If CS:GO was preserved as a beta version in the game's properties that would be great. Apparently they are doing that now with some sort of replay player version but it's broken?
I'm not sure what the difference between apps and clients is in this case. They are applications that you can access a Matrix server with, behaving as clients.
It really depends on the subreddits you use. I was on reddit for almost 10 years and while I saw others complaining about power-trippers I never experienced it myself personally, and that's after I've used several bigger subreddits.
As fun as it is to dunk on reddit and its moderation, this is definitely exaggerated lol
Even after Roblox dropped the Metaverse label they are using, they still want to be Second Life with dedicated games attached.
Try using the contact link at the bottom of the kbin page. That'll send a message to the admin of the server you are on.

You can download audio from YouTube as 160kbps opus files, which aren't lossless sure but it's the highest quality you can get from YouTube if alternate means aren't an option.

While you were using the subreddits you were subscribed to, the general default subreddits were always seeing activity like this.
But over time reddit has been attracting a far more general audience of regular people from other social media platforms.
There is Funkwhale that you can use for self-publishing music. You can also upload your music library privately to listen to remotely.
I get that searching can be a bit finicky sometimes but doesn't typing in a full username of a user you want to search for usually do the job?
That part about shutting down is something that https://joinmastodon.org/covenant tries to help with, where advance notice should be given and multiple people should have access to administrative actions. At least if the server has to shut down the users are given enough time to look at another server.
If you would like for your own posts to be reachable by the search system, all you have to do is go to Preferences > Public Profile > Privacy and Reach. Once there, check the box that says Include Public Posts in Search Engines.
I'm happy that this is opt-in for users, though something that would be good to know is how users on other instances (as well as platforms like Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, etc.) are handled. I guess the search system would not handle these users?
It would attract the karma farming bots that reddit has. Any website that has a privilege system causes accounts with more privilidges to be worth more to buyers.
Kbin already provides feeds at the bottom of the page. For example, this magazine's is at https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=kbinMeta
Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis Official Site
I recall reading before that account deletions are not automated and need to be requested by the user via account settings?
Also, if an owner of a magazine was to delete their account, who does that ownership get transferred to?
Destragras @kbin.social A DOLLS that once flew across the grasslands of Aelio. Plays a lot of PSO2 after finding out Resurgent ARKS stopped running the Mining Rig Defense Urgent Quest. Also plays other games when they feel like it.
