sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to unpopularopinion in There's nothing wrong with using Reddit, Twitter, and other mainstream site still while being active on fediverse.

I think it's gonna take a few more incidents on Reddit if we really want users to migrate to the Fediverse. Right now a bulk of the migrations are happening as the 3PAs had died, but we'll see how much of the momentum will be kept.

I think it's good practice to change passwords after an attack no matter what

More like it tried to forcibly merge the instances

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to android in Lemmy.world and another instance have been compromised

I don't see any weird content, but I couldn't log in. There's a notification at the bottom that says "logged in" but I'm still blinded by light mode.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to fediverse in threads is already going great 💀

If extra layer of "difficulty" is introduced by giving the users the choice of an instance is enough to keep them away, then I'm all for it.

It just needs to be easier for the ones that managed to figure it all out (better apps, stability, UI/UX, and QOL updates)

IMO the only algorithm I'll accept for lemmy/kbin is slightly faster "expiration" for posts, sometimes some posts stay too long on my frontpage.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to RedditMigration in Boost confirms switching to being a fediverse app after the Reddit app shutdown.

Tbf you can see some kbin stuff from lemmy either through desktop or a mobile app, but Sync for Lemmy is planned to have kbin support too, but we'll see.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to games in This years Top 5 best selling games - is 2023 a good gaming year?

HiFi Rush is such a unique banger both in terms of art direction and game design, shame it released so early in the year.

I hope it's not forgotten when awards season rolls around.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to gaming in Which Bluetooth game controller is great for all devices?

Even in macOS the Xbox controller has its own icon, it worked well in my experience

also the ability to play wired if needed.

This, and you won't even need to worry about batteries, you can leave the battery tray empty.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to technology in It’s bots all the way down at kindle unlimited

Just a heads up, I think you should remove the exclamation points in your links, it resulted in a 404 for me before I removed them.

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to tech in YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

SponsorBlock is such a godsend for (live) music videos as well, especially with Eurovision VODs will all those intros and endscreens

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to showerthoughts in Since Kbin is new basically anyone here now would be considered veterans in a few years.

the poop situation

I remember that poop post on asklemmy, it's already achieved legendary status I think lol

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to games in Remember: Steam Summer Sale 2023 starts on 29 June 2023!

I'm hoping against hope for a sale on Cities: Skylines II, but given it's all pre-orders rn I don't expect that to happen

Left kbin for a few days till that cloudflare thing was sorted out. Glad it's all running smoothly now.

I guess now I get to feel what the pioneering Redditors felt after the digg migration, and it's exciting!

sgtlighttree, 10 months ago to memes in Fediverse situation right now

They want a free audience, and it always shows.

That makes me appreciate the decentralized nature of the Fediverse more. It's so easy to isolate from the nasties

Yes there's always the risk of (un)intentionally creating an echo chamber, but when said "opposing viewpoints" are inherently made in bsd faith, well someone has to put their foot down.
