@jynersolives Out of the pan, into the fire. I will shed no tear for Twitter, but the rise of Threads is equally concerning, especially given Meta's known past policy concerning their competitors and the fact they're already intending to meddle with the Fediverse. I do not believe any good can come from one of the tech giants getting involved with it.
I’ve been having an issue with my Steamdeck where the game I’m playing will hang. This happens across multiple games and at random times. The deck doesn’t seem abnormally hot and the OS itself is fully functional.
I found the answer on Reddit (pasted below so you don’t have to visit the link)
“
Whilst the Steam Deck is off please press and hold the Vol- & quick access button ( … ) then press power. When you hear it chirp let go of only the power button, keeping held of the Vol- & quick access button ( … ) till you see the Steam logo, then let go of those too. Done right it will take a while to boot (Stays on the Steam logo for a min or so). “
@merge For what it's worth, the Steam Deck community seems to be active on the Fediverse (posting this from kbin where we're slowly getting started, and existing communities are active on Sopuli and the Lemmy flagship instance) so hopefully the content gap will be filled soon.
#Lemmy now has 135,369 accounts. That is tracking with my expectations.
But while #Kbin had ~7,000 accounts yesterday, it’s just shot up to 30,930 accounts today.
While Lemmy is the 5th most used server software on the Fediverse, Kbin is now in 10th place and it’s growing at a faster rate than Lemmy.
A few days ago, I predicted that the #RedditMigration would result in 150,000-300,000 new accounts being created on the Fediverse. That expectation has already been met.
This #RedditMigration is fundamentally changing the course of the Fediverse. It’s moved the Fediverse from being primarily about microblogging to having more eclectic use cases.
While the #TwitterMigration validated that decentralized social media can appeal to millions of people, the #RedditMigration has validated that decentralized social media has man varied applications – both in the software and use case sense.
@atomicpoet I'm one of the kbin users coming from Reddit and I have fully accepted that we're going to be the crash-test wave. Emphasis on crash. That being said, Ernest has clearly shown that he's doing his hardest to handle this new influx of people and making the platform better, and I hope he'll get the support he needs to achieve that goal. And hopefully, kbin will be better prepared for the next wave that'll undoubtedly come as the API changes go into effect after the end of June. And the ones after that.
