I see. Yeah, it would be confusing for everyone who didn’t see. Sorry.

You’ll never see it coming~

It’s Taittsuu

Twitter would be ツイッター

I don’t have much faith in Blizzard to stick around :/

Three weeks only.

Maybe I’ll install the game again tonight

Persona series, maybe. The entire franchise is all about making friends, deepening relationships, and working together to fight monsters.

I saw somebody here recommend Kenshi, so I’m going to recommend RimWorld as well. It’s a colony building game, but it’s kind of anxiety-inducing lol

That’s unfortunate, but I hope the voice actors get what they want. I really love the English VAs for the new regions so I want to hear more of them. In the meantime, I’ll be using the other languages.

… and since !genshin_impact@lemmy.world doesn’t get pulls megathreads, I’ll be bragging my pulls here instead :P

Some (maybe most) of these accounts are likely using custom domain linking instead of a server.

No, I don’t think it removes duplicate images.

Right now: 0.3GB per user per month. This number is probably much higher for other instances because I don’t keep copies of federated images anymore and I’ve been compressing images early on.

This doesn’t include bandwidth and backups.

I managed to bring down ani.social’s monthly costs to only ~14 USD when converted (which includes everything except backups). With 165 monthly users, that comes to around ~0.08 USD with a lot of accomodation.

Lemmy is efficient in resources except in storage (database and images) which grows infinitely. Unless you’re purging older posts and images, it keeps growing (very slowly).

I made it a small badge so people wouldn’t have to feel obligated to donate. But yes, the entire instance has been community funded already thanks to generous one-time and monthly donations!

Oops, I misunderstood how it works. You can add subdomains as your handle.

I thought subdomains were people using PDS. So I don’t know anyone running a PDS. I might try running one just to see what it’s like and actually learn the network.

But here’s an example of @user.domain.com: https://bsky.app/profile/tomoshika.voms.net

I don’t think they’re using a PDS though. In fact, it’s really hard to tell who’s using a PDS or not. I’m not sure what the effect of this is in community-building and I wonder if control over the network is really decentralized. This is really… confusing.

Anyway, the PDS is a lot more complicated than I thought: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/category/advanced-guides

The users with PDS use something like @user.domain.com. Users with just @domain.com are under Bluesky IIRC.

People have suggested making a portal/quiz for instance signups, but that adds to the barrier. There are also problems like how in-depth and inclusive it should be. It reminds me of Linux distro pickers that often suggest weird niche distros.

There are already big/default instances in the Fediverse though but there are people who actively discourage this. Maybe Mastodon just had a bad start and Bluesky learned from that. I wonder if Bluesky’s PDS will be like Fediverse instances though. Many Fediverse instances are built around shared interests but the PDS just looks like a glorified handle.

Personally, I think the Fediverse discourse should shift to designing social media with decentralization in mind rather than mimicking mainstream social media with a “decentralized twist”. I don’t think the Fediverse will ever be as big as Twitter, but it doesn’t have to be. It just needs to be sustainable enough to keep new conversations going.

Doesn’t answer the question but maybe it’s worth sharing anyway.

I’m gonna wait for the platinum ultimate mega collector’s anthology edition at a 90% discount after 7 years.

StarCraft. I never played Legacy of the Void campaign and I was told the ending was bad. Would be nice to have a StarCraft III though

Dink Smallwood is an old fantasy role playing game. It has a small community that makes mods for it. It’s really dumb but it’s free to play and very short if you have nothing better to do.

edit: Wow! I didn’t realize a lot of people here know this game. That’s actually cool.

I forgot. Here you go:

I assume it’s fake because they don’t mention the game itself in the review and I see it copy-pasted in a lot of games. I think it’s a way to farm steam point rewards.
