Trump's Voter Raids Have Begun
Reply in thread
Didn't they also demand California to not count another 20 000 ballots unless they are all investigated (a practical impossibility in the short time) so it's a bit more being demanded?

For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider.

It's not about cringe imo, more the point is that the comments don't look real at all - it's all bots

Miten uskot Reddit kapinan päättyvän?
Redditillä on kymmeniä miljoonia käyttäjiä joista tiettävästi vähemmistö käytti näitä kolmannen osapuolen sovelluksia. Tämän sekoilun myötä "reddit exitin" tulee toki tekemään mittava määrä käyttäjiä (itsekin tein jo), ja olisi hienoa jos vaikkapa Lemmystä kasvaisi sen kautta riittävän aktiivinen korvaaja redditille. Mutta reddit pysyy miljoonaluokassa vielä vuosia, ellei ikuisesti.
Eihän nykyään facebookissakaan moni voisi edes kuvitella olevansa, mutta silti miljoonamassat erilaisista käyttäjäryhmistä siellä pyörii ja tulee pyörimään vielä pitkään. Eli osa porukasta lähti jo eikä välttämättä palaa, mutta siitä on pitkä matka siihen että "tavan tallaajat" edes miettisivät vaihtoehtoja. Porukka kuitenkin pistaloitunee ainakin jossain määrin eri palveluihin.
Vielä on liian aikaista pohtia, voisiko Lemmy kasvaa edes lähelle redditin nykyisiä mittoja ja montako vuotta siihen kestäisi. Mutta vähemmälläkin kyllä taitaa saada aikaan käyttökokemuksen, joka täyttää redditin jättämän aukon?

Everything happens for a reason

I believe you have to think a little more long term before submitting to the idea that "I can't change anything".
Can I change things in the next 1 hour? If you're broke now, probably yes you will still be broke after 1 hour.
But that's not how life works. We go to schools and develop ourselves in other ways, to have a better life 10 or 20 years later.

How’s everyone liking this so far?
I'm starting to think the splintering caused by instances blocking each other is going to cause users to abandon Lemmy entirely. At the moment instances can suddenly decide to block other instances, and that is going to hurt both users on the instance that put a block into place, as well as users on the blocked instance.
The blocking is awful for an average Lemmy user, because you can get cut off from communities you already subscribed to, without any notification! So you might post and comment without realizing that your content is not getting published, even though you and your local instance still see it.
The user experience would be improved by getting a warning if you try to contribute to a community in this case. And also your subscriptions should show warnings about not working anymore, and those should come up as notifications on the account.

The rescuers didn't know that at the time. It was right there in both the post and the full article.

Another caveat with instances is that some instances block each other. If you made your account in Instance1 that for some reason blocked Instance2, you can not interact with or even see any content from Instance2.
So that also fragments the world here. It may well be that if you actually like some communities in both Instance1 and Instance2, you are forced to have a separate account on each (happened to me already)

I like the discussion on nicotine, but yeah. Op's "medical moment" seems unrelated to nicotine!

Totally agree. But the inclusion of multiplayer shows they are listening to feedback, as a large portion of the playerbase wanted to have that.

OP-pankki keskittää tietotekniikkapalvelut pilveen
Tiedote oli tyypillistä pöhinäjargonia - OP ei valaissut lainkaan, mitä pilveen siirtyy ja milloin. Itsekin pitäisin kriittisen infran siirtoa pilveen huonona, mutta on vallan todennäköistä, että sellaista ei ole todellisuudessa suunnitteillakaan, vaan siirtyvät palvelut ovat jotain korttimaksuja (tai muuta maksunvälitystä) vähäpätöisempää.

What's a webcomic that should just end already?
Reply in thread
Sinfest was the bee's knees. I still have 2 of the first printed comic books, treasure them and the memory of fun times with early sinfest. But it should have ended many years ago already, author ruined his legacy.

That's a good question, but for me Anno (even before 117) has been a very single player focused experience, so I don't know the answer. Maybe someone else can chip in there

Why do you care about downvotes? You sharing your opinion and perspective is what makes the platform better. Other people clicking an arrow means nothing :)

My short review as I've been playing campaign for 8h so far: If you liked Anno 1800, no need to hesitate, game is super fun and more polished than 1800 was at launch 😍

When a clown moves in to the Palace, the clown doesn't become a King. Rather, the Palace turns into a circus. (or something like that)

An instance can crash, close down or somehow disappear at any time, and if that happens all the users, communities and content in those communities from that instance is lost forever. Right?
