And the CEO is Emil Sutovsky, who recently made a twitter poll, basically asking, let’s be honest, does anyone actually care to watch this women’s tournament? When he never made a similar poll for any other tournament.
The chess world really needs to outgrow the sexist and transphobic FIDE

The 2 biggest psychopaths join forces, true crime people, and tech bros

There have been testflights (Apple betas) for the pixelfed app, so it’s in development. Unsure about the quality of 3rd party apps though

Yeah, like pretty much all platforms on the fediverse, they’re not owned by large companies, and don’t try ads or selling user data for profit

I don’t like when people say “AI just traces/photobashes art.” Because that simply isn’t what happens.

But I do very much wish there was some sort of opt-out process, but ultimately any attempt at that just wouldn’t work

“Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it.” -Twitter’s (Currently Outdated) Brand Toolkit Page

Yeah, this “Omg Facetrash lost all their users, they have such a dead platform lol” is stupid. I dislike Meta, but it’s a new social media, of course not every single user who checks it out will stay, that’s how it is for all new social medias, video games, anything

Ah, that’s fair. Do you think you’ve changed your mind on it, or do you believe that it’s sort of a con of these platforms?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was done through cryptocurrency like Reddit’s done before.

A few years ago Reddit started to give community specific cryptocurrencies depending on how much karma the user got. I think it was only launched on the Fortnite and Cryptocurrency subreddits, and I’d say giving cryptocurrency to a community of mostly young Fortnite fans seems immoral, but not surprising for Reddit.

I really hope that it’ll be something we’ll be able to avoid. We’re all on the same federated system, we don’t need to do this pointless “I would listen to you but you’re a instance.lemmy.com user” unless they’re from an instance that supports hateful content.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I kinda doubt that this is likely to be killed off. It’s not it’s own platform like Reddit, it just takes content that’s more likely to be made by people from websites like Reddit, blogs, and other social media platforms and puts it all in one place.
But who knows with Google.

I don’t follow news with Epic much, but what do they have to do with Starfield or physical games?

Last time Bethesda said anything about the Elder Scrolls 6 they said it was in preproduction. I doubt they’ll really start working on it until Starfield is out.

I hate living in a world where undercover agents are sent to all ages “Drag Queen Christmas” events

Yeah, it is very possible for us to not let Meta win. Acting like the Fediverse is doomed isn’t productive at all.

There is no other way to protest for big subreddits currently. If you completely private your sub, reddit admins will replace you with mods that will keep it online.

The only real way to do it is to keep moderating, but make the content of the sub extremely boring, like just pictures of vacuums

I think Minecraft had lots of nostalgia to benefit it. If your only history with fortnite was hating it, you aren’t going to play it just for fun. But with Minecraft people had nice memories from when they were younger

A big similarity being Twitch and Reddit don’t create the content, they rely on users of the platform. Hope this becomes a message that users can’t be expendable
