@thepaperpilot um… it looks like kbin.social doesn’t federate with incremental.social and i can’t subscribe to it yet?

oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

i’m a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
i don’t have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
hopefully developers will add a “join Matrix room” button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i’ll actually finish it now that there’s a community i can share it with.

I asked you to not conflate cops that kill innocent people with EMTs that save people and your response is to conflate cops that kill innocent people with women and children in ukraine? Really?

You don’t need to develop a callous to gruesome scenes if you don’t cause gruesome scenes.

“unfortunate situation that they can not change” except by not driving over people at 70mph.

Don’t conflate cops with EMTs. The job of EMTs is to save lives.

Surely kbin has a better plan for handling this stuff than “PM the admin”? Does this site not have a moderation team? Otherwise anyone who wants to spam ads/hatespeech/etc just needs to create their own magazine or use a magazine with an absentee moderator: Ernest is overworked AF and there’s no way he can moderate a site this big alone.

I haven’t tried thrive in a while. I hear they’ve switched engines again, to Godot this time. Is it playable? Is it fun? Do they have more than the single-cell phase?

The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men’s and women’s chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

interesting.
the default config file is basically “Drew’s preferences watered down a bit for a general audience”
alacritty used to be Drew’s preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they’re both good wayland software, though

“Oriya’s Kiki”? Do you mean Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, mascot of Krita, designed by Tyson Tan?
Who’s Oriya?

Owncast is an open source streaming platform. It’s great for watch parties and it has its own built-in chat.

You can see a list of public streams in the Owncast Directory

I think you’re missing the forest for the trees here.

PeerTube accounts are for video makers, not video watchers. If I want to watch a PT video, I can do so without an account. If I want to leave a like or comment, I’ll do so from my mastodon or misskey account. The reason Peertube servers don’t tend to federate with each other is because they don’t need to: they federate with mastodon/misskey/pleroma servers for the people who want to watch. (also, the https://spectra.video/about/follows page OP linked seems to ignore non-peertube follows?)

As for finding new videos on PeerTube, I recommend using sepiasearch.org

I haven’t heard of WireMin until now. Looking at their FAQs, they have a lot of promises and not much to back them up. There’s a lot of red flags here

• Closed source. It appears to be totally proprietary, so you can’t look at the source code to ensure that they aren’t lying about their product
• They will be introducing microtransactions into their chat app; likely using cryptocurrency.
• It’s full of web3 crypto nonsense. It seems to me the only real plan to fund development is to be bought out by a large investor in the future.

@FoxNews is indeed one of the most reliable sources on the fediverse 🦊

Why does the thumbnail say “Can = 10 years in prison” while the description says “10 months in prison for stealing a can”? This youtuber does not strike me as a particularly trustworthy source of news lol

Looks like they’re missing Forejo and vervis, which federate using the ForgeFed protocol.

the things you like about Reddit didn’t exist when Reddit was the new alternative to the enshittification of Digg. KBin is brand new and Lemmy was not much more than a tankie hub until recently.

KBin and Lemmy will build the communities you’re looking for over time. The question is: do you want those communities to develop under the shadow of the same algorithms, bots, and content you see on corporate social media, or do you want something new?

it’s more like suspending someone who has engaged in bad behaviour in the past and is likely/promising to do it again. if you own your own fediverse site, you decide what the rules are and how to enforce them.

the difference between the fediverse and the corporate-controlled social media sites is that you can actually enforce your rules against larger companies on your own corner of the internet.

For those who don’t know, the strategy is called Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. The phase comes from Microsoft who used this to (try to) crush competing document editors, Java implementations, browsers, and operating systems. Other big tech companies employ similar strategies.

Facebook coming to the Fediverse is the Embrace phase of this process and that makes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, and Akkoma the competitors.
