True but that doesn't really help them. A user can switch platforms trivially, but for a creator to carry over most of their following it takes a long time and constant insistence. I really feel for them too.

Less features, worse service, unreliable reputation. Unity is dead. Which is concerning, because it's never good to put all eggs in a single basket.

I generally like Valve's approach when it comes to Steam, but as far as game development goes they are more on the "late is forever" side of things.

I like his stance towards realism. People confuse it with believability, when believability is more about having internally consistent rules.

Big publishers weaponizing randomization elements in games against the players' wallets. I hate this era of gaming...

I saw your other comments. If you were honest over this being about how you are against corporate driven social media and in favor of decentralized ones, I'd respect your opinion much more than this repetitive insistence on the same point that "driving away nazis means they embrace nazis". Which is neither logical and it's wildly disingenuous regarding the challenges and the uglier sides of decentralized social media. Which by definition cannot entirely exclude nazis, even if you are not seeing them in one particular instance. Which, again, does not mean they are not there, it might just be that they are trying to stay incognito. All the more reason the willingness of the users to drive nazis out themselves is valuable, because expecting moderation to always catch them is naive.

If you tell me that relying on corporate social media is risky, I agree with you. There is more to this matter worth discussing, such as why people who rely on social media for a living, such as artists, may lean towards corporate platforms over user-driven ones. But we can't advance in a discussion if you keep going in circles to make BlueSky look bad for the nazis (they are driving away). If you are just going to repeat "but it means there's nazis" again, I'm not interested.

Google's quality has been declining for years. I don't expect for it to remain unchallenged for long.

So now you are just repeating yourself.

Even though the userbase is effectively driving them away, you are trying your hardest to try to spin that as a bad thing, ignoring the growing challenges of moderation at scale for an idealistic perfection that is not nearly as unblemished in practice as you want to pretend.

I don't know what's your beef with BlueSky, but this level of self-righteousness is just tiresome. And we are not even talking about actual Twitter which is overrun with nazis, This is not a problem in BlueSky. I'm starting to doubt that they are the actual reason for all this fuss.

If you don't want to be there, that's up to you. But I'll probably stick with it, many people that I'd like to follow are there.

The guy you replied to was me. It's wild you take fact that bad actors are pressured to leave and try to make seem like that's being welcoming of them??? That makes absolutely no sense.

Personally I don't even get to see any of them, I mostly see mentions after they are driven out. As much as the moderation there could stand to be improved, I doubt even your instance can actually match your standards of if you can't make absolutely sure not a single bad actor makes their way in, you are actually enabling them. The thing about Nazis is that they lie and play coy a lot, and the more that instances grow, the harder it is to identify all of them. it's not like all of them show up wearing swastikas.

...you say that like they are being invited and not sneaking in against everyone's wishes. Even the Lemmyverse is not entirely free of them, unfortunately.

They try to say that the screen is bigger, but at that point they could just play on a TV, since they need to be with their PS5 at home.

Also mystifying that they say a tablet with a bigger screen would be inconvenient because you couldn't play it on the bus. You can't play this thing on the bus either.

I got 4.5 hours of use with the brightness turned up to 100% and the volume at around 50%.

Out of a device that is basically a screen glued to a controller and wi-fi? That's abysmal.

I don't think this is a console war thing. I just think IGN is a sellout rag that rates games however game companies tell them to. Their ratings are consistently unexplainable by anyone with sense.
