Haven’t touched Reddit since 7/1 but decided to go back and unsubscribe from every sub today. Figure even if I’m not an active user, I’m also now not a number they can point to as success....
Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically. (lemmy+kbin)...
I like the name “Threadiverse” so I’ll start using it.
With that being said
a term like internet; that doesn’t need to communicate anything other than what the platform is.
I have to disagree that the term doesn’t need explanation as a result of it being cleverly created. I think it’s because the internet is just so widespread a phenomenon that everyone knows about it. I agree that a good name can help catalyze the popularity, but I think very few things are actually self-explanatory.
For me it’s Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.
The graphics are definitely not doing it favors at this point. It was definitely fun to get into for a bit though. I literally started playing Morrowind for the first time about 3-6 weeks ago.
I definitely enjoyed Tress more, I think I enjoyed Yumi more than Lost Meta
This is about where I stand. I liked Yumi, it was good, and definitely better than Frugal Wizard, but I I liked Tress more.
Tress felt like a full cosmere adventure, with multiple layers to the magic system. Yumi’s magic system felt a lot less defined and versatile. He paints and the nightmares become docile. She stacks rocks and the spirits like it. Hion lines are electricity, but pink and blue instead of positive and negative. That was kinda it.
Meanwhile, Tress has an entire panopoly of different, color coded spores, including one that seems to tie back into Stormlight. We got a little further insight into what Elantrian magic has to offer, and see how advanced awakening technology gets.
Tress had the spirit of something like The Goonies - escaping from a mundane life into a crazy world of excitement. Yumi had the spirit of something like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - young kids just kinda slacking off and escaping their responsibilities with a frantic rush to clean up some messes before they got in trouble.
Ferris Bueller is a good movie and all, but it doesn’t instill the same kind of excitement that something like The Goonies does. One is extraordinary and the other is like “yeah that’s chill.”

Is there an issue with kbin.social as well? I noticed that the only posts from /c/RedditMigration@kbin.social are from a month ago, but when I searched out the kbin site, I see that it’s got active posts from today.
I’ve been pretty active on reddit. My initial attempts to migrate to lemmy didn’t work out so well (the server I first joined wasn’t pulling in the posts from other federated servers like it was supposed to), and just right now I don’t have a whole lot going on, so I’m not willing to just quit cold turkey.
I just got setup in SFFA though, so I’m hoping I we see more communities popping up. I’d love to support the boycott, but I’m not giving up my access to good posts if they don’t start migrating to an alternative enough.
Damn, the ads…

What game feels 'timeless' to you?
For me it’s Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.
We should make a discussion thread on SP3
If it isn’t already somewhere
