In the UK the University of Dundee is seemingly approaching meltdown.

Dbzer0 is fine imo, it mostly targets people who are tech enthusiasts & anarchists anyways.

I'm still not entirely sure how Australia seemingly wound up with a modified Westminster system that was worse than the original, genuinely pretty impressive.

You're kinda proving my point...

Then people can choose to do so.

Nah, having a reasonably active community on another instance is also a bulwark against mods going rogue.

Trying to ask where the back up communities are for the ones you posted is not exactly relevant, if they did have secondary backup communities I'd be in favour of them staying indepdnent and active but we're talking about ones which do currently have communities across different instances.

And yes people will reorganise but that takes a degree of time even if only a few days, I see no reason to go around pressuring for "duplicates" to be folded into a single large community when they don't exactly impact the function of the subject matter and allow for a very quick migration should something go wrong.

And? This is the entire point of federated networks, if for example the .org instance imploded for whatever reason then the community could easily regroup and hit the ground running on the .UK instance, pushing for everything to be centralised in large communities undermines the benefits of federation.

YDI, aggressively trying to stifle a community like that leaves a very very poor impression IMO, people have their reasons for choosing certain instances and that should be respected.

Just wanted to say ty for coming on here to respond! Many don't do that, seem like a decent enough mod IMO & I can't say I disagree with your actions.

Bit tired of hearing this NGL, the problem is with your entire country and frankly that includes casting off the American rural poor as "idiotic country bumkins". Stuff like that is exactly what will turn them away from your ideals & into the hands of those pointing at the snobbish urban elites looking down at them.

Phrygian cap maybe?

I actually bought anno 1800 a while back when it was on sale, running it under proton was impossible as the performance was absolutely terrible. It also damaged some system files which took me hours to fix. Pirated copy worked perfectly on lutris though lmao.
