Atlanta resident here and all I can say is I've never seen an issue the city is more united on than the stop cop city movement.

It's way too hard to cut through the search engine optimized spam when googling something now. Especially for product recommendations all you get are random top X lists.

Yeah I mostly use it for like product reviews/recommendations or like personal help topics. Not stuff where factual information is required

I think this is the beauty of decentralization is that individual servers can still maintain smaller communities and still be part of the broader network

I've seen a lot of posts about how having the same community across multiple servers is a bad thing, but I disagree for this reason (and others).

It's definitely a new concept for people. I've been on Mastodon for a while so I'm already used to the idea of multiple instances

I think over time more people will figure it out and it won't be so confusing. Like how people intuitively understand that if you have a Gmail account you can still send emails to people on Outlook

Yeah that's right. In practice though, over time you'd expect most people to eventually congregate on 1-2 big communities where there is the most quality content and moderation.

The upside is that no single server or moderator(s) own any community. Like on Reddit there can only be one r/NFL so if the mods decide to do something unpopular with the subreddit then everyone is just stuck with that.

Here someone can just create a new NFL community on a different server or start their own server with their own mod policies.

Really it's not too different from how things were with reddit though. Often subreddits would fracture and people create a new subreddits dedicated to the same topic. There are a lot of very similar subreddits that for the same topic that co-exist

Think about how r/FreeFolk split from r/GameOfThrones because people got pissed at the moderators and then later it ended up becoming more popular than the initial subreddit

Jumping on to this. We've gotten into ebikes and they are borderline life changing

I would recommend giving them a try to almost everyone and they can be a really good alternative to driving your gas guzzling car without needing to drop on an electric one

No way am I going to pre-order a game in this era of half baked releases and especially not a game from Bethesda which is as well known for their rampant bugs as their compelling gameplay

A lot of it is also the moderation of certain subreddits though that's not easy to replicate elsewhere. For instance most subreddits dedicated to football (soccer) clubs maintain a tier list of journalists based on their reliability and will only allow reputable sources to be posted on the subreddit.

That's quite frankly a lot of bullshit that I would otherwise have to sort through myself to get the same information on transfer movements and news

I think the key thing that will screw them is violating the trust of the volunteer moderator force that basically makes reddit what it is. I don't think reddit appreciates how much of their business relies on a completely volunteer, unpaid workforce.

If the mods decide to quit en masse and and either stop moderating or turn subreddits private on their way out then reddit is done for.

I really like board games that don't take that long to play. It's a lot easier to rope your friends into a game that takes 30-40 minutes to play and is easy to learn rather than a game that takes 4+ hours.

Some that I've found

• Azul
• Sheriff of Nottingham
• Splendor

You can actually use messenger without a Facebook account which is what I do for the rare occasions I need that

Really excited about this. R/reddevils was the only thing keeping me on Reddit so I'm really hoping this takes off.

Obligatory fuck Glazers

That's beautiful! Nothing beats fresh baked bread

There's a big difference between hosting single user servers vs public servers though. If it's just for you then you can do whatever you want with it and it can be a lot of fun (until something breaks that is)

My friend I have been playing Children of Morta and it's a pretty fun coop experience.

I just hope we draw the line somewhere and move on. Don't want another summer spent chasing targets that never come.

At least we're moving on from Kane. Seems like we already knew there was little hope there though

That's basically what it is already on many of the largest subs. Hell they even recycle/repost the same content every 6 months or so

These days I'm mostly playing on the switch. I also have a PC but it's more difficult to find time to play on it sometimes since I have to play it at my desk

I like how Beehaw is doing it. Slowly introducing new servers as there is demand for it.
