They choose to not federate, or no one will federate with them?
I can't imagine creating an instance and then just choosing not to federate. Lol kinda defeats the purpose.

They have a radio. They can still hear what were saying, and can say stuff on the radio, but we ignore it.
Doesn't work the greatest, cause we literally won't hear it at all because it's blocked by the instance so no one hears it period, but kinda works lol
Yes. Dude literally said it's costing too many Ukrainian lives.
To defend their country from their aggressor. Guaranteed this dude is from lemmygrad...
It's not a sunk cost fallacy. We cannot let Russia run rampant over other sovereign nations. Make no mistake, there is 0 legitimate reason for them to be fighting Ukraine. Letting them do so sends the message to them that we are all talk no show, and also shows China the same thing.
However, we've lucked into a great situation. Ukraine fought back fiercely; the US can just proxy war Russia through money now. No cost of human life, we aren't exactly going balls to the wall in sending equipment either. The EU gets the same benefit.
Also, I don't know what you mean by the war is costing too many Ukrainian lives. RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE. It isn't on the US to stop donating to force the Ukrainians to roll over and accept it? In what world do you tell the citizens to just lie down and take it for their own good? That's the most asinine thing I've seen.
Can back up those splits, top 5% sub. Majority is on mobile, but stats on platform are difficult to estimate. It would seem that at least 10% of Android is on 3rd party apps. The downloads don't give accurate estimates at the top end (10 mil downloads, then it won't change until 100mil downloads, so you could be off by tens of millions), it doesn't count side loaded apks, and it doesn't specify usage time. There could be a ton of people who downloaded the official app, then moved to 3rd party, and they would count for official download.
RES said they weren't sure how it would be effected by the API changes. It could be fine, it could break some stuff.
Technically I think? I think the free API license gets 100 calls a minute? Or an hour or something, I forget the time frame. On a medium sub, 100 posts a day would be updates every 15 minutes 24/7 I think. Not instant, but absolutely doable, and if you optimize the time for 6am-1am, that gives you one about every 12 min?
The change hasn't even gone into effect yet. Let people deal with the ads and shittiness that is the official app. They'll be looking for alternatives.
Nah, bot scraping is different than API calls
I'll be going to a motocross race in Mt Morris, PA. It's my home track, and one I've raced dozens of times as an amateur. I've gone almost yearly since I was a child. It's raced yearly in the AMA Pro MX series for almost 50 years.
The way sports league ~~subs~~ magazines or whatever handle it is the greater league magazine, and then each team has their own team-specific place. It largely in effect already; you have the overarching "video games" sub and then specific games usually have their own sub for game-specific updates (here is what a vendor is selling today, build discussion, etc).
The issue with federated would be each instance is likely to have their own "parent" sub, with the specific ones probably falling to whatever instance has the established population.
It would be helpful, I think, for these "default" subs to have like a repository of sorts. Large topic subs all contribute to the same silo, and instances can pick what interactive content they get from the instances regarding comments and such. But that sorta defeats the de-federation tactics by link and article posts, but I imagine attack posts probably wouldn't fly in the vast majority of instances.
I'd say Elite 2 if it didn't have annual bumper problems. Rest kinda blend together. Wasn't a fan of the PS2 and on controllers.
Wii-mote was pretty great for it's time and super reliable.
