Yep. While technically being an Islamophobe isn’t racist, odds are the reason one is an Islamophobe has very little to do with them being Islamic.
You mean: The entire internet right now.
I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon's "good" years (heavy quotations). He's nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.
It’s scale.
Scale is the enemy of social networks. All of them, including Lemmy.
Let’s say 0.1% of the population are just straight up assholes who ruin everything.
If you only got 100 people on a site, no one is an asshole.
1000 people? Well now you got that asshole Andy in the group. Fucking Andy. But we can deal with him.
But we scale up to 1,000,000? Well now you got 1000 fucking assholes to deal with!
Games console industry tries to adapt to rise of free-to-play titles
Virtual goods such as Fortnite weapons and subscription services such as Microsoft’s Game Pass have become as important to the console industry as its traditional money spinner of high-priced standalone games, marking a turning point for the $60bn business.
Console players are set to splash out $21bn on in-game items and subscription services this year — about the same as they will spend on game downloads and discs, according to research group Ampere Analysis.
Such expenditure has risen sharply since the popular free title Fortnite debuted in 2017. Gamers that year spent three times more on console software than on subscriptions and virtual items.
...
"If players continue to gravitate to free games, such as Fortnite, that do not require the latest hardware, Sony will find it more difficult to sell its PS5 to all but the most dedicated of players, some analysts have argued."

Why they watching the very end? Just to make sure everyone is happy? Plot resolution?
Infuriating?? That’s adorable!! One day you might really appreciate that finger in that shot when you think back on your mum.
While I doubt I could get my friends and family on yet ANOTHER messaging app in the year of our lord 2023.
Sup. Is a fucking brilliant name.
he sounds like a person in an abusive relationship.
"yeah, he hits me sometimes, but Jimmy's a good guy y'all! just need to give him a chance, besides... all my stuff is there, where would I even live?".
nah
Siri, while not great, handles timers, reminders, and dumbshit like that just fine without typing. I have yet to find another good use for these assistants.
This makes so much sense.
BBC wouldn't make their news site under Google Blogger... so why depend on other corporations for your microblogging?
Spin up your own server, have your own verification, then use it on your site and share outs.
We need a "Not The Onion" community lol.

Been experimenting and reviewing why our community based on lemmy.world is super active across Lemmy & Mastodon is dead on lemmy.ml - not sure if it's a lemmy.world issue, lemmy.ml issue, or lemmy in general issue so crossposting.
See the screenshots.
Basically, people posting to !alternativenation@lemmy.world from lemmy.world or other instances all seem to work well, even going to Mastodon with no issues.
But lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to be seeing many of the post and is slow to update things like pinned posts.
Nor does lemmy.ml posts to the community seem to be going to Mastodon.
Challenging to build a community on Lemmy when one of the big instances can’t see many of the posts making an active community of over 1500 users seem dead.

I love the Fediverse and have been promoting Lemmy & our alternative music community on Mastodon for over a month now. It's getting pretty active and we are sharing all kinds of music from 80s college rock to today's indie every day.
But somehow it seems lemmy.ml hasn't heard yet! Nearly 1000 subscribers on lemmy.world, but like 17 from lemmy.ml? Oh fediverse, you minx you.
Well, time to change that! I'm spreading the good word for alternative music fans to join & share.

Hope to see you there!
On Mastodon, you can go to the About page of an instance to see the servers that have been defederated/moderated and often why.
I'm on Lemmy.world and I see people talking about Lemmy.ml and Beehaw as being moderated? But I'm not certain - is there a place to review? @ruud@lemmy.world
Memmy is an early fave (posting from it now) but it reminds me so much of the Dec-Feb app development days for Mastodon. So many fun options to try out!
RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.
Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.
So I use both.
Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.
Good stuff!
