I wanted to connect with my Guardian Tales players but i could not find any post/community for it, or gacha gaming in general

Is anyone interested in creating a new community for GachaGaming, or even better for Guardian Tales?

Do you know exactly what Discord track?

[-] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago

Can someone give me an easy to understand example of what they are proposing? Assume that I don’t allow them to install any software/tool that helps them track me/my device.

I saw this comment and found it helpful but its still not clear to me

At its core, it establishes software components called "attesters" that decide whether your device and/or browser is "trustworthy" enough - as defined by the website you are trying to visit. Websites can enforce which "attesters" users must accept, simply by denying everybody access who refuses to bow down to this regime; or who uses attesters that are deemed "inappropriate"; or who is on a platform that does not provide any attesters the website finds "acceptable".

In short: it is specifically designed to destroy the open web by denying you the right to use whatever browser you want to use, on whatever operating system. It is next-level "DRM", introduced by affiliates of a company that already has monopolized the browser market. And the creators of this "proposal" absolutely know what they are attempting here.

Very nice write-up. Was it fast for you to use? Notion has gotten quite slow for me on mobile

I still do not understand how their sync work, based on their description:

synced in your local p2p network

Can someone please explain this to me?

Their FAQ is pretty good , but it still does not answer that question

While looking good on desktop (based on screenshots), it is definitely not designed for mobile. See below

I saw the physical version of this game on sale and I want to know if anyone has experience playing it on Switch

I know nothing about Star Trek, and generally not crazy about science fiction, but the action adventure and puzzle elements mentioned in the description got me interested. They also said this game was approachable for younger ones and it also have local coop so I could play with my kids

It got 70 on both NintendoWorldReport and NintendoLife

According to Lemmy documentation, if they don't block a server, it means they are federating (aka talking using ActivityPub protocol) with that server.

Lemmy has three types of federation:

  • Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
  • BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
  • Open: Federate with all potential instances.

Federation is enabled by default.

It means Meta could in theory talking right now with instances not blocking them as part of their testing.

I don't know why they could not just block in the first place, then unblock/allow later if it makes sense.

Sorry I asked the wrong question. I’ve updated it. My question should have been specific to Threads federation. You can see my clarifie point of view in another comment

Would this change your answer

You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you

As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore

I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments

Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They will federate with Threads. If I continue posting on lemmy.world, Threads will benefit from it and Threads users would never join Lemmy because they could subscribe to our communities. But I also don’t want to split my niche communities

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

What if I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments.

I want people to come to Lemmy for its contents. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can subscribe to our communities instead?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I thought I made my question clear

Should I continue contributing to my niche communities on Instances I do not share my view with, or build similar communities on other Instances?

For example runeterra community only exists on lemmy.world, but I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments. I want people to come to Lemmy.

Should I create a new runeterra community lemmy.ml instead (lemmy.ml blocks Threads)? What would you do?

After moving here from lemmy.world after learning of their view on federation with Threads, I now face a dilemma which I do not have a clear answer to.

Should I continue contributing to my niche communities on Instances federating with Threads, or build similar communities on other Instances blocking Threads?

I have a feeing this issue is not a one off, but a common one going forward, so it’s better to settle it once and for all. Below is my thought so far. What would you do in my case?

I love to post or comment on my favourite niche communities to share my experience with others and grow them. Those communities are small in size and they usually exist in certain instances only.

One one hand, having everyone in the same place would be much more beneficial since the community is not split and spread across the fediverse. We would also have better discussions with people from different background and diverse point of views.

On the other hand, I do not feel my contribution is in the right place anymore, if let’s say I post on lemmy.world. I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments and I want people to join Lemmy. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they could subsribe to our communities?

I wish my communities were instance-independent so this barrier can be removed. I can create a similar community here but it is the last thing I would want to do.

Having written all these down, I realised this was exactly the same situation how I came to Lemmy from reddit, i.e. communities split across Internet due to issues we have with the platform/instance we are on. I guess discussion on platform/instance-independent communities can be a topic of its own

Edit: formatting and clarified my points and updated my question to reflect that

Not sure when accounts were redesigned but in my version (0.1.0 11) Accounts now show a list of accounts, whats the current account and Add button on top, not inside any account settings (it was before)

I believe eventually we would be able to move, set defaults, etc. the dev team is probably working on more important matters right now
