I would say its a very different experience than those games. FASA Trek and PD are both super crunchy systems, like Star Trek Life Sims, which are great. The 2D20 system is well suited for the breadth of conflict in Star Trek (I've gone whole games without combat, but trying to resolve the engine difficulties are fun), but it's very much more of a narrative system than an engine one.

I started using mastodon when musk bought twitter and kbin with all the reddit API shitshow. I like the idea of the fediverse but how does it have longevity?
I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality...
One of the instance that is promoted on join-lemmy.org is burggit.moe that is defined as "NSFW & Loli/Shota/Cub friendly". Loli is legally considered as paedophilia in europe and the US, so even if it's legal in the country that host the instance, I would suggest to not promote it as an instance to join
Of course you don't see any problems. You don't give a damn about moderating, you only care about militant rights of folks to say whatever the hell they want to say about anything regardless of the impact it has on anyone else.
The devs certainly won't. The main instance doesn't get moderated... regrettably Lemmy doesn't have the dev and community support that the other federated tools do.
If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit's daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don't think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate....
If you think the point of anything in the fediverse if for profit, you've missed the point. It's federated, if it gets too many users to support itself, it will collapse into several smaller chunks.
The whole premise is built on the same concepts as the early web, it's interconnected, it's self-managing, and it will scale only until it can't and then it will peacefully split.

MegaMek (megamek.org)
Does anyone use MegaMek to play? I don't play a lot of classic these days (my in-person crowd plays Alpha-Hexes) but I quite enjoy playing on MegaMek.
Realistically how does the fediverse make money and remain sustainable? only donations?
