That's actually a great album cover shot.

I wouldn't even call it a complaint and more of nostalgia, in that I miss my speed blitz T16 WW barb. But I don't expect this game to get to that level of ridiculous for a while.

They are. People are leaving in droves. Advertisers are abandoning the site.

Nah, I think he just wants to burn the bridge as he's crossing it.

A "chance"? Lol. He might make an entire episode about it. He's already posted about it in Twitter.

Defederation leads to echo chambers. I've certainly had enough of that in Reddit!

A nice easy mixed (mostly dirt) track. Got gold on it!

I was a mod and just quit entirely. Fuck them.

How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be...

If there is no effect, then why is he losing his ever loving mind over it? Why are they going to potentially change rules that have stayed the same since Reddit's inception as a result?

Beehaw defederating update - sh.itjust.works

Like many of you, I woke up this morning to discover that our instance, along with lemmy.world, had been unexpectedly added to the beehaw block list. Although this development initially caught me off guard, the administrators at beehaw made an announcement shedding light on their decision....

I fully support their right to defederate as they did, but I am a little concerned by the chilling effect that sudden removal of large userbases who had been communicating with each other creates. I don't mean specifically in this particular instance because it happened very quickly, but what if the beehaw communities who are large and popular with many users from different instances get disconnected all of a sudden? You'll get a retraction of users, communities and a general distrust of talking to users on other instances because that communication channel you've grown to rely on suddenly just poof disappears effectively on a whim of the instance admins. I do not disagree with Beehaw and what they chose to do. I am just trying to point out that it's dangerous to defederate and should never be taken lightly.

If you're not a native of the PNW, what made you want to move here?

For me, since I've been 100% remote for 8 years now, I can live pretty much anywhere I want, as long as there's decent Internet. As my kids all grew up and moved out to live their own lives, I asked myself where I really wanted to live. One was Ecuador, specifically because of the tropical climate combined with high altitude...

My sister lives in Bozeman and it always amazes me when she tells me the temp there.
