    Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.

    Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.

    This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.

    Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.

    I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.

    Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.

    They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.

    Long live Lemmy.

  • How would share buttons work given lemmy is federated (vs a unique instance)?

    What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into

    So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.

    Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.

    Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

    You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

    I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.

    They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.

    I bought it. From a pure content point of view, yes it’s absolutely a $70 AAA game.

    Your enjoyment is going to depend on how much you like the core gameplay and building up your character.

    It feels very much like destiny 2 in finding gear for your character. If you enjoy doing that you should enjoy doing it in this game too.

    I’m really looking forward to this game, especially since it’s coming to gamepass. Persona 5 was a surprise hit for me and quickly became one of my favourite games. I couldn’t get into persona 4 though, as I was really missing the style that 5 has. I hope they put some good effort into the visuals of this remake. The trailer makes it look close to persona 5 but it still looks like a bit of a step down.
