Meta could probably mitigate at least some fears about this if they did any planning or discussions out in the open.

I get they want to have a massive "reveal event" or something, but come on...

It's entirely possible (but perhaps unlikely) that this is a passion project by some engineers and Facebook is just sponsoring them "hands off".

 

Hello! I've been having problems posting messages to pawb.social communities from beehaw all day, just wanted to post a test message to see if federation is working!

So cute! Really good job!

 

It looks interesting to me, but it's Sonic Team so they may find a way to mess it up.

Not a fan of the wisp-like powers, but I do like that they are bringing back multiple playable characters. The recent trend towards Sonic being the only character has been annoying.

 

Been playing through the Strawberry Jam mod a lot recently; would recommend if you enjoyed Celeste. The art is gorgeous and the level gimmicks and themes are wonderful.

Also, if you haven't played the base game, I'd recommend that as well. It's currently part of the Pixel Pride bundle at https://www.humblebundle.com/games/pixel-pride

While I hope Lemmy/Kbin takes off (heck, I'd love early internet forums to come back in style) and kicks off a second internet renaissance, the imminent collapse of Reddit legit is giving me anxiety. Hope y'all don't mind if I vent a bit.

Firstly, there are a lot of "niche" communities on Reddit, mostly dedicated to individual games and the like. The kind of thing where fanart, announcements and discussions happen. In the short term, I don't see them surviving the collapse. And if they do, they'll probably move to a not-great platform like Discord or whatever Facebook comes out with.

Secondly, with SEO optimized AI generated garbage topping search results, Reddit has become an important reference when looking for reviews and opinions on things. As well as that, it has become somewhat of an archive of internet culture in a way. With subreddits moving to black out permanently and a push for users shredding their own data, there's a very real chance that all of this content will be lost forever.

 

Don't think it's as good as the things you guys have been posting, but figured I'd throw it out here anyway since it's something I'm kind of proud of. And hey, gets a bit more activity here.

Let me know what you think!

Currently using vanilla Firefox with https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix to make the tabs look like actual tabs rather than weird floaty bubbles.

Used to use Chromium, but switched because they made it so that sites could autoplay videos in response to "user interactions", whatever that means.

TBH, not that happy with the current state of browsers; too much telemetry and not enough customizability.
