Good to see ChatGPT respecting SCP safety protocols

Don't think it's really necessary. The different wikis don't really need to talk to each other. But an open source Gamepedia-like wiki software would be great. Maybe it exists already.

Wiki.gg is very good though.

At least we'll have Memmy and Artemis

AskReddit is still up, despite the number of posts I've seen on the subreddit asking for it to join.

There's nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren't looking for specifically a federated platform, they're just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.

But 1.4.1 will be the last update! Actually, 1.4.3. No, 1.4.4. No 1.4.5. For real this time surely...

*used to be endorsed by Mojang. About a year ago Mojang said it's no longer official. Presumably because of Fandom. See https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki:Community_portal/Microsoft_status_update

I thought they were platypuses and I was confused

Yes, very cool. And about Threads, I will probably block Threads myself just because it's a twitter clone, it doesn't need to be on lemmy. But people should be able to make that decision themselves.

Ok but I don't post on twitter. I only view posts on Twitter, and they're pretty much all from relatively big people. So before I can move away, the people with big follower counts needs to move first. The only people on Mastodon that I follow are tech people. All the other people are on Twitter, Threads, or have just straight up left twitter altogether.

Yeah ignore the people in this thread. I've been using Linux for the past year and a half, and it's the exact same experience for me. And I am definitely more technology literate than the average person.

As much as people want to believe that Linux is easy and hassle-free, it's not, and it is a long way off. They are biased because they have technical knowledge so they don't see the problems that the average user would have.

That being said, I do like Linux. There's a reason why I still use it despite all this. But it's up to you if it's worth it.

Edit: Also all the people recommending Linux Mint, in my experience, it was horrible! Very unstable, and not even very customisable. I feel like I'm going crazy. Can someone explain why it's so popular? Was I doing something wrong?

Oh my god the second one is amazing!

Top is pretty self explanatory. Hot takes a combination of how many votes they got and how recent they are. And I think active is based on the number of new comments, although I'm not entirely sure.

That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn't.

To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn't need manual approval. But there's another problem, they can't interact with Beehaw.

"Simply" picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there's no indication of what you're supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the "default" instance, lemmy.ml, you're met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it's overloaded.

People don't want to have to make decisions, especially when they don't have any information to go off of.

Probably previews from pages people have linked on those websites

It doesn't even have to be NSFW. Modding any subreddit work.

Edit: Welp, nevermind. It seems Boost is down now.

Yeah but it's true. It's better to ensure Republicans don't win than try to get your third party in. The problem is not the mindset of the people, it's the first past the post voting system. If they used ranked choice voting instead, it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah that's probably the better one, lemmy.ml probably isn't the best place for the communities

Yes! Thanks, default comment sort was the thing I was waiting for. Now the only thing I need is swipe action cuatomisation and it'll be as good as Apollo!

Right, but even non-reddit users would be confused by it. When everyone advertises lemmy as seamlessly integrating with all the different instances, it doesn't matter what instance your account is on, this definitely is not that.
