If I were Reddit or Facebook I would divide and conquer the Fediverse
  • But now you are asking for the equivalent of every reddit user to make their own subreddit, host it and curate a feed to it, so they can browse it.

    I mean sure, but it'd be like saying, you don't like the options for food, so grow your own, the seeds are there. You may want some junk food, but you may also want some organic vegitable produce or something inbetween. Supermarkets are double edges sowrds with everything inbetween, but to open your own/grow your own/source your own from the bulk suppliers, although possible, is astronomically more man hours of curation time.

    But with all that said, the initial and I think leading point of the post was not the indivdual filtering, but rather, that they think a divide and conquer approach would be most effective against a Fediverse. Where one would want to prevent the expansion and adoption of a fediverse as a threat of info hoarding.

    I'd be inclined to agree that as pack animals a NT person is going to want to group up in the largest instance. So, the larger the instance, the more likely they are going to want to join it. And should it get huge amounts of people, they'd get fomo.
    If there are as many instances as there are subreddit equivalents, for want of the accurate name, people just wont bother that much, no?

  • Quake II Remaster Leaked By Korean Rating Board
  • How was quake 2 bland? It was grim, fast paced. Had hours of gameplay and some large maps. The multiplayer was pretty good too.

    It was my first multiplayer game though, so i'm definately biased, but it did so much more with basic hardware back in the day. And the custom map auto downloading and servers were great.
    A much better introduction to multiplayer gaming then some of the stuff today.

  • A weird question, but how is your handwriting?
  • My handwriting is intirely dependent on the writing tool. Pencil/fountain pen is fine, but biro not. More about how flat I can hold the utencil-- the flatter the better.

    Drawing is different, I have to sketch from the paper, rather than a mental image etc

  • I get it, but they can read it once they're free. Plus, it's super interesting!
  • Please, please do not plant bamboo on your flat roof, dear lord, it would rip it to shreds.
    Bamboo is so "sustainable" because it has a frickin out of control growth rate root system and invasiveness. yikes!

    Pots only! until you see just how devastating it is first hand!

  • Spotify DJ Randomly Plays a Bad Song to Verify You're Still Listening?
  • You can't believe the shock horrer when I saw the infimous album cover rear it's head after not seeing it for 3+ years.

    I had to literally just skip those recomendations for a year and a half + at least. And now, back, out of the blue D:

  • Spotify DJ Randomly Plays a Bad Song to Verify You're Still Listening?
  • I have looked on settings on Android in browser and on PC application and I see no History information at present, today. Also those years back via email with spotify, they said that there is no method of deleting history, and that they could not delete any history, even with written request. They could only dlete everything from my account or nothing.

    Which was very unhelpful, naturally. And I didn't accept that initially and went around the houses a bit with them, until I gave up.

    But if theres some method or hack I AM DOWN TO TRY IT!

  • Reddit habit is hard to break.
  • I have set a 0 minute timer on Boost and Infinity, so I can't navigate to reddit. On the first day of blackout I had to open reddit to try and find the name for lemmy, squabbles and raddle so I had some alternatives as I couldn't remember them!

    I have opened and closed youtube way too many times. It's been tough. I even went to 4chan after many year last night. A real blast from the past.

    Full relapse yesterday.

    I'm hoping to do better today.

    We so need a RedditsAnonymous!

    -edit- I said on the first day I went to reddit... but it's only been one day!! wow. that's embarrassing lol

  • The ol' vintage GW-300 finally failed in 2021

    Battery is still going strong, but the body is weak and fell apart just after arriving back from St Lucia to the UK after my grandmother's funeral.

    I cannot foresee any smart watch taking its place for such a long service.
