Does it have a bridge for matrix? I actually like matrix quite a bit, though I think this is more of something I could convince casual friends to start using.
Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon. What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to...
As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)
While I agree that Discord should be the next to go, the problem I see is that there still aren't enough solid alternatives for the layman. I doubt that anyone outside the nerd/tinkerer is setting up a Matrix server. If there are other alternative chat platforms that are decentralized, open-source, and easy to setup and maintain I'd love to know more about them. As of now though, I'm only aware of Matrix and I'm almost certain I couldn't convince my non-tech-savvy friends to setup an instance.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all...
I mean, kbin has been better for me in every way. It's been mentioned already, but this whole situation was the push that me and a lot of other users needed to look into alternatives and find something that works better for us than reddit did.
Are there any decent mobile apps for android for viewing kbin? If it's possible to avoid using a browser app to view kbin, I'd love to explore that route.
I really hope not. Piped has been the only way I use youtube for a while now and it's a far better experience then actually having to use their web app.
Hi everyone, You may have noticed a small change on the website. From now on, upvotes work just like on Lemmy - they are equivalent to Mastodon's "favourite." You can boost a post using the button that replaced "favourite." Another change is that you can now rate and boost your own posts. Boosting has a one-time effect - it...
It feels weird to want history to repeat itself, but I'm really hoping Reddit has to deal with the ironic situation of users migrating from the platform en masse due to awful management decisions.
Hard to say. I used "hoping" because I still have an irking feeling that this won't ultimately result in much change. I think a small amount of reddit's base will be upset and may migrate to a different platform (like lemmy, beehaw, kbin, etc.), but the vast majority of reddit's base won't actually understand or care about these changes. The group of users that does decide the leave the platform will have multiple options though and I don't suspect the number of users to truely be unmanageable for any of these places. This is just my opinion though.
The isolation paragraph seems more like a gripe with Gnome Software Center rather than flatpak itself.
It most likely doesn't scale to have all developers keep track of all the dependencies of all their software.
Also not sure I agree much with this. When developers don't keep track of their application's dependencies, end users often end up having to do it and it's a much worse experience overall.
I do agree with that it ends up being more of a burden on developers to maintain dependencies in their package. It's not great knowing there are potentially patched issues sitting in older libraries that are shipped with a flatpak because a package maintainer hasn't had the bandwidth to update them.
@RatsAmassing I've been testing out different emulators on my Steam Deck but I've kept coming back to play PS1 games like Star Ocean Second Story and Suikoden

so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?
I'm personally crossing my fingers for Discord.
