It's been on my backlog for AGES, since it came out. Maybe it's about time I finally dive in.

I hate to say it, but the only thing that can explain this kind of sudden jump is error in data.

I was thinking of buying Raft and watched the trailer (sopuli.xyz)
 

...and the god damn trailer shows way too much of the game! Why do devs do this? It's not making me want to buy the game more, on the opposite, I'm now considering whether it's even worth it. If the devs really want to show off, they could just end the trailer with hinting that there's more and leave it as mystery.

The whole point of exploration games is to find out stuff for yourself and be amazed about stuff you didn't expect. If you show everything it just spoils the fun out of it.

Reddit CEO: We’re sticking with API change, despite subreddits going dark in c/technology@beehaw.org

Yes, people need to realize we can break free from ownership of few. There's absolutely no reason why we donate all our content to some random millionaires.

Maybe I already had the right models in my brain, but for me I just created an account and started using it like reddit. Only thing different are the different servers.

It's great news when the social media oligopoly shoots themselves in the foot.

So far I've tried:

  • Facebook = Diaspora
  • Irc = Matrix (Element)
  • Reddit = Lemmy
  • Twitter = Mastodon

Out of all the different federated solutions I've tried, I believe this one has the best chance to hit big. Diaspora didn't work because the network effect is too strong with Facebook. Same with Matrix and Mastodon. But reddit is pseudoanonymous platform, you are not here because of some specific people. It's actually somewhat a benefit when there are less people and you have more room for people to see the content you put out. And the quality of the discussion can be better when there are fewer people.

It's still likely that everyone will just go back to reddit but we have a good chance here. The Lemmy UI is actually better and more snappy for someone who has used old reddit all this time.
