This is why I primarily shop at GOG. There are almost no other storefronts left that promote DRM-free games.
I can understand defederating from Threads, but transitive defederation is bordering on insanity.
This will do nothing but exert peer pressure onto instances that wish to remain impartial. Transitive defederation will play right into Meta's hands by fragmenting the Fediverse further.
Your instance will still exist, and federation should continue as normal if you manage to reclaim the original domain.
If you have to switch to a new one, however, federation will be very awkward. Other instances will essentially treat you as a brand-new instance, and mirrors of old content will be "orphaned" and no longer sync.
Don't find yourself in a false sense of security.
Your games on Steam are just as ephemeral as any other digital content purchased online.
Man I feel bad for the developers at Microsoft who have to implement this shit
Because of the network effect.
Can you please stop editorializing titles?
I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.
Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.
As a Linux user myself, it saddens me to see how much the Linux fandom is invalidating itself with its aggressive attitude.
It's because a traditional forum has to be hosted by the project maintainer and then appeal to users enough for them to create an account there.
Compare that to Discord. Most users already have a Discord account and it's relatively easy to set up a server on there. Plus it happens to be the communication tool for young people.
It makes sense, but it's sad nonetheless.
You bring up valid points, but you are being very antagonistic towards server admins in the process. I get that you're frustrated by being dismissed all the time
Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.
