That’ll never work, obviously
Absolutely not. I’ve set it so that all sites are denied automatically, so I never even get asked anymore. I can’t imagine why I would ever want that, but I’m very selective with notifications altogether.
Excellent work. Thanks for all that you do to run this fabulous instance!
This is how I first moved over as well. I got a job in a small office that used iMacs and over time I grew to love it. Windows 7 was my last edition of Windows.
Wow, that’s really beautiful!
While I certainly like having the choice of so many servers, and I think it’s smart to spread the load, I also understand why people would want to make sure they are in a stable server that has a reasonable chance to stay around. You have to put a certain amount of faith in the instance owner.
This dog is way cooler than I’ll ever be 🤣
Yeah. I feel like blizzard has always been that way. How long have you been playing WoW? I feel like it was a product of it’s time. I quit before WoW classic got started, but I started playing the original about 2 months after launch. It was incredibly fun back then, but I wasted way too much of my life on it.
I agree with him that there is inevitably a strong tendency toward centralization, but I think a key feature to help with that would be the portability of one’s account to new instances. Even if the majority of users are in only a few instances, there is still a safeguard against one entity (I.e. corporation) directing the health of the whole system. If accounts were portable, when an instance went foul, people could move and the system as a whole would self-heal.
Nonetheless, it’s an interesting article. And the cost and challenges of running a web scale service are not conducive to small time players.
It’s my precious!
Imagine if you told them then that this photo would one day “be on the fediverse”
