@tk I'm more interested in the fact Nintendo is reviving EyeToy. But that Donkey Kong game looked so good.

@sendpaws they'll have the same problem on fedi tbh

Okay guys, hear me out...

someone here said the HazBoss fandom is the new Homestuck fandom and yeah I see it now.

if you're going to tell them to join another instance, or that they joined the wrong instance, you're part of the problem. it's frustrating that the Fediverse just doesn't listen to the issues raised by regular people.

it's getting better (thanks in part to Bluesky putting the pressure on as a "competitor" probably) but I think Mastodon and the rest of fedi should stop listening to FOSS hobbyist ideologies, it's holding the network back so much. Best example is this: Mastodon is making a spec for auxiliary services that can handle things like spam detection, so instances don't have to, which seems alright, but then you have shit like this in the issues:

Welp. The Mastodon account of someone in the AWS sphere suddenly stopped existing yesterday.

All the more reason I prefer Bluesky's "centralised app, decentralised profile" approach in the long-run.

@sugar damn, end of an era…

@tk I have it on my laptop, getting NVIDIA Optimus to work was just one click lol. It's really good for gaming though for development... eh...

there's a movie about sentient sneakers that seems to just be fetish content and I swear one of them is voiced by the same VA as Husk from Hazbin Hotel.

@soulfirethewolf I like the Honda S2000. Not for any of the specs or anything. I just think they're cute. :)

Essentially, this post can just be boiled down to this skeet from Captain Disillusion:

Oh yeah, just remembered. I had a friend who tried the Fediverse - specifically Mastodon - and wanted the ability to view every reply to a post, including remote ones that haven't federated. This is actually a good idea, it could theoretically curb a lot of the incessant "reply guy" problems this place has. There have been requests for this.

Except, the people in charge of Mastodon didn't want to implement this, apparently the people who asked for this just got "why do you need this feature lmao?" or "use a third party client".

Both not really good solutions. Both very "Linux user" type of responses. And then the same people wonder why people get fed up with this place bounce off to Bluesky.

@tk well, squawk.social might be worth a look if you're looking for bird people. other than general platforms that artists are on ofc.

@tk i wish i had the answer tbh, hasn't been on my radar for a bit

@tk not atm 😩

@tk I'll level with you, I've only watched The Last Wish and only watched Shrek 2 like, two years ago, so I mainly know modern PIB.

@tk and this is why VRChat is popular. :P

@tk meanwhile I'm switching back to Windows for mental health reasons lol. (tl;dr: felt like I was pressured to use Linux which means I'm not having a healthy relationship with it)

every time I see drama over some scraper going haywire on the fediverse or something like GoToSocial trying to block FediDB or Lemmy trying to hide federated updoots I'm here thinking... you do realise how the Fediverse works, right?

@sendpaws lol I have a friend who won't join fedi because of the whole fediblock drama and I can't blame him.
