I don't know whether or not this was the right decision for beehaw, although I certainly sympathize with them having staffing and mod tool issues. Modding any forum is a thankless and tiring job, and I'm sure in it's super early state Lemmy doesn't exactly have a mature suite of tools to work with.

I am very interested in the community reaction here though. There seems to be a shared assumption that instance creation in the Fediverse means an open exchange of users and content (outside of bad actor or extreme instances), and most instances should only be distributing technical burden and otherwise be almost just an aesthetic in the larger Fediverse.

This despite the user philosophy in the Fediverse being 'go where you want, interact with who your want', and federation tools meaning that philosophy applies to instances as well. And if you want meaningful differences between communities and instances, this has to be so - there has to be a strong ability to self-regulate, up to and including the ability to defederate from incompatible instances.

I think it'll be very interesting to see how the Fediverse develops. A wider Fediverse composed of sets of federated instances which aren't federated with other sets is possible. A largely open Fediverse with limited walled off instances is also possible. I know right now the latter is probably preferred to encourage growth, but in the long run? (these are not the only conceivable arrangements either, but this post is long enough already)

CrossCode is fantastic, right there with you

Also:

Dave's not here, man

Wait, I'm having one of those things: a headache with pictures.

An idea?

Oh 100% I love this aesthetic. The newer Deus Ex games come to mind immediately, but yeah. The tablets in Hi-Fi Rush are also kinda cool, if less involved.

just love me some rifling through open desktops though 👍

Star Citizen still has fanboys?

😂

I dunno though, it's a pretty low bar

Love S:S&S! I still listen to the soundtrack on walks.

Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

Add Jamais Vu and Volumetric Shit Compressor and I think you've got my favorites.

Oh Disco Elysium all the way, it's possibly my favorite game. I have a notebook filled with lines in the game that stuck with me.

I want more of it, but it looks like that lightning won't strike twice.

Right there with you (not 100% sure what gen my oasis is). Not crazy about Amazon, but it's a very nice device, and I get most of my books from the library these days anyway.
