Minecraft maybe? I would say at the minimum it's a net neutral but considering how far off the deep end Notch is now I imagine it was a good thing.

I will point out that Mastodon and Pixelfed are Federated and open source versions of Twitter and Instagram respectively. Although, I do remember seeing something about Pixelfed's founder stepping away for a while.

I feel like the nature of Lemmy better fits a community with "anarchy" in the title anyway.

Is this all that was on this "laptop" I keep seeing people meme about? I haven't paid the whole situation much attention but this seems like a lot less of a deal than what some people were making it out to be.

I agree with others, this seems like a flat-earther belief that has gotten mixed with Christianity's creation story.

I've heard of it before while browsing the internet, but not from any Christians I personally know. All the Christians I interact with (myself included) believe in a literal interpretation of the creation but nobe of us believe in a physical firmament. I will note that a single man I know denies the moon landing (for reasons I haven't bothered to ask) but even he still believes in a spherical earth and heliocentric orbit.

My understanding of Genesis 1:6-8 is that the firmament mentioned is the earth's sky or atmosphere itself, and not a physical barrier at the edge of the atmosphere. The easiest way to show this would be Genesis 1:20 where birds are described as "flying in the firmament of heaven". If the firmament was a solid object, birds could not fly in it.

I like these kind of video game communities, ones that are about a genre or subgenre and not just one game. It makes the community more active when there is more than one game to discuss.

Yeah, that's the "fun" part. I'm mostly on Jerboa (the Android app) and for some reason the search function doesn't pick up all the communities. So for some things I've had to log on desktop if I wanted to find and subscribe to a community.

I would assume both, considering the community sidebar doesn't specify.

I do this too, but thankfully I've also managed to break my day in half so it's no longer "can't do anything all day" but "can't do anything else this morning until this" and "can't do anything after lunch until this".

I can forgive the issues with Kbin and Lemmy because Reddit has had more time and resources to build the platform. My hope is that with the new attention and the open source nature that Lemmy will show consistent improvement to where I don't feel like I'm compromising.

If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.

It's a replacement effect, adding one more counter to the existing effect, not creating a new effect that adds an additional counter. Keywords here are "if" and "instead".

TL;DR - 3 Counters, not 4

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

You can see a good example of this in the gaming sphere as both Path of Exile and Warframe have entire instances for themselves.

Trap him in the house. "If you don't rock and stone you ain't going home."

Pros

• more attention to the Fediverse and all the advancement that may bring with it.
• If the Fediverse ever becomes mainstream corporations will end up with their own content on it so having Meta join would provides early insight on how the Fediverse may be effected by becoming mainstream.

Cons

• Some instances may not have the server load to support being federated with Meta
• There's a decent chance it hinders healthy growth (Like a Cuckoo hatchling that starves out the bird's actual children.)

I really need to go back and play it. I played it briefly a few years ago but didn't get much past the first act.

Don't quote me on it but I believe that is a known issue that is being worked on. Infact I thought I saw something about the recent 0.18 version of Lemmy having a fix for that.

I'm wondering if some of the other open registration instances (like lemm.ee which this account is on) will be next. If so I'll have to go through the arduous process of waiting for an application to resolve.

Out of curiosity. What are the other Reddit clones you're talking about? I moved here because this is the reddit-like system I found first.
