I've probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it's open source too!

Soldat was awesome, I loved the Rambo mode lol. That game had such good movement.

definitely Deus Ex

but also The 7th Guest lol

yea this has been a bug in Boost for a while, idk why

on fediverse observer, you need to switch to daily stats not monthly stats, right now it says 53,225 MAU for March 13th as the latest datapoint

fedidb is probably doing something similar, just showing the average for the whole month, instead of the current day

Give us another big StarCraft 2 tournament at Blizzcon!

This is cool too, but I would like to offer an idea I've seen other communities do which is a specific day of the week for posting pictures. Like Pictures Tuesday or something.

I'm definitely happy I didn't open Lemmy until I got home from work today

This is one reason why I never use expanded card views and only used the condensed list views where I have to click a thumbnail to expand lol

Yeah we don't need more posts, we need more comments, and maybe more voters too

Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people

nucleative put 2 different ideas in their comment actually.

The first idea was moveable accounts, just transferring like Mastodon does, which still gives the instance admin a chance to decline or ban you.

The 2nd idea was the account working on all instances at any time by using public/private key encryption, this could cause issues with moderation.

I guess you could combine the ideas to require an explicit transfer, while still using the encryption keys to maintain ownership of old content in some way, maybe.

Lemmy's export/import settings isn't really that different from what Mastodon does, since you normally can't follow Lemmy users anyways, so there are no followers (or very few) to transfer.

IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it's the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.

It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn't exist yet, but they'll be here in the Fediverse with us.

Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.

I believe this is being improved in the v1.0 release of Lemmy coming soon:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057

and they have other ideas in their issues log to further improve, like:

This sounds like a moderation nightmare. Just create a troll account on one instance and now you can use it to login to every other instance and start spreading hate. When that instance bans you then you just move to the next instance? These instance admins don't even see your signup application, they can't stop you?

most of the replys seem to be, "it's too hard/confusing to sign up" we won't get these people to sign up anyways

I often see people on Reddit saying they had issues with the confirmation email, definitely something for instance admins to look into

and I think Lemmy now allows resending so that's good

usually when I tell someone what an instance is, I throw a few synonyms in there

I feel like just saying "instance/proxy" can help, providers sounds good too, also gateways, servers, relays...

I made an old discussion about this actually

well I was speaking in theory, just the idea, of course this stuff can be abused

but imagine if they actually only used it for illegal content, like the really bad stuff
