I’m 29, I joined the fediverse during the Reddit API protests.

Not using Lemmy though, I’m an Mbin user.

Sites like reddit/lemmy, I feel, actively discourage these sorts of personal connections, since you follow subs or the “hot” algorithm, rather than certain people. With so much churn, it is difficult to remember people’s usernames, and therefore difficult to create a real picture of them as a complete human being.

Worth noting, Mbin is a community-based fediverse project like Lemmy that also supports microblogging and thus following users.

Most people still would.

I personally wouldn’t, that’s why I use Adblock Plus. But there’s a reason everyone started hating on ABP when it started allowing non-intrusive ads by default. Most people do not want to see ads at all, no matter what.

AI is a tool. How you use it matters.

Most people just publish AI output verbatim. That’s a 1 usually, clearly slop.

But it’s not the only way you can use AI. You could also use the output as a base to then improve upon yourself. Which I really don’t like calling slop. Slop is something that’s bad and low effort, which in that case it is neither.

Mbin has “loud” subscribing, which notifies you on any post added to a community (or posted by a user). I don’t know if Lemmy has something similar, but that really worked wonders for me in making the fediverse feel more alive.

What do you think is the actual worst Halo?

Halo 5.

Imo the ranking of the main line games is:

1. Halo 2
2. Halo Infinite
3. Halo 1
4. Halo 4
5. Halo 3
6. Halo 5

A bit of an odd choice, but Half Life 2’s episodes.

I really didn’t like the base game, it was a huge disappointment after playing the first one imo. So I expected the episodes to be just more of the same, but they turned out to be so much better than what I expected.

For anyone wondering how I could not like base HL2, I also think of Halo 3 as being the second worst Halo. I have some odd stances like that.

What do you mean with that in regards to Discord?

Fluxer is going to be federated, it’s on their roadmap.

Fluxer has screen sharing.

Fluxer has screen sharing with audio.

I haven’t really seen enough of the world to have a favorite city or region myself.

But greetings from Cham, I’m on that map of Zug. It’s rare to see our canton mentioned on the internet.

At least once a day. Really depends on the temperature, though. On hot days I open it in the morning to let cool air in, on cold days I avoid leaving it open and only open it temporarily when the air gets noticeably stale, leaving the room when I do so. Inbetween I usually leave it open the entire day.

Though, I only open it fully in the mornings of hot days. Other times I always leave it tilted only.

Because it affects visibility of content.

Read OP’s post, they’re worrying about manipulation, not karma whoring or harassment.

Stuff like bots mass up or downvoting a post to promote or hide it.

I’m not using Lemmy, but my default sort is set to “Active”. Gives me the most interesting feed imo. Well, comments use “hot”.

That said, I don’t usually browse. I have a bunch of users and communities set to notify me on new posts, and I usually already get too many notifications that I don’t also feel like browsing the site after looking at them all. Really changed my view of how active the fediverse is.

I’m assuming they acted rash and emotionally when they decided to make their own platform, and realized the task was too big for them to shoulder, so they went nuclear. It’s not just the fluxer stuff, at least one of them also deleted their socials.

I think them deleting their apexsync discussion server before the release date (so people have no chance to switch over if they forget the name) is proof that the project has died. Or at least isn’t planned to release any time soon after all.

No, they’re pointing out that the server this post is about got deleted.

The admins got annoyed by Fluxer’s stability issues and announced they’d be developing their own activitypub platform instead to compete with fluxer, leading to them neglecting the Fluxer server this post is about.

Then, both the fediverse server and the one about their alternative got deleted. At least one of the admins also deleted their Mastodon.

Look, you’re free to keep replying, but I’m not going to further talk here. I’m just writing this last comment to clarify that, so you can stop wasting your time. I realize that you’re not arguing in good faith, so this is just going to go on endlessly otherwise.
