Fedora here, been running Baldur’s Gate 3 no problem using proton. Even with a 2600.

No reason to go back to windows knowing I can run pretty much anything through steam.

Small communities are the best communities

In 10 years we went through a huge jump. Mass use of smart phones, new PoS systems, the internet has become overly censored, forest fires like we have never seen before, covid, powerful handhelds, AI… Things are exponential right now

My biggest worry is that it becomes over moderated like all the subreddits.

I fucking hated writing a heated passionate post, only to have it automatically removed because I didn’t read the fine print.

I prefer when everything is voted on in the community, vs automatic removals and strict mod’s.

It actually took my motivation away to post, so I ended up just being a lurker.

The fact that there are so many Lemmy servers makes me feel as if one server goes to shit, there will be another one that offers more freedom of expression.

I also enjoy that that there is a specific instance for NSFW content, it keeps things organized.

Why can’t we just let the users decide what gets visibility vs what doesn’t?

I know it may be a stupid question. The problem with Reddit was it become to moderated to the point if you didn’t read the fine print your post would get removed.

I think users simply agree what is relevant to the community and what isn’t and will vote accordingly.

If the content is obviously NSFW take it down, and if they are spamming obviously ban them and remove the spam.

I really would hate to Lemmy become overmoderated.

It’s fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it’s become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.

We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn’t corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn’t even migrate.

I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it’s dead and close out of it.

Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it’s now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it’s place.

dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn’t a total fragmentation of the masses.

Now we need a new video platform.

Scary thing is, if AI can take over Reddit, AI can also take over Lemmy.

I can litterally copy and paste this post, and then you comment, as well as other people’s comments and instruct ChatGPT to reply in accordance. Then, if I feel like the comment seems obviously AI written, I can tell it to write it in the style of a redditor with a few spelling mistakes and it I’ll do just that.

Now uses some script, and the prompt, and let the algorithm do all the work for you.

I agree with you, I was mainly just making a joke. It’s when people point out a spelling mistake, without actually commenting on what’s being said as well. But at the same time feedback is feedback, it’s great building material.

This is not reddit… Lol

I realized that after I posted it. I was able to fix it in the title even! This is so much better than Reddit.

I’ve been doing this, and have been finding it to be a much more enjoyable experience.

Reddit was 1000s of posts a minute, while Lemmy is more like 5 posts a minute if that.

In a way I like it more, feels much more engaging.

They can litterally just post a comment or a post and give it a ton of upvotes to give off the illusion that people are upvoting it. Media manipulation at its finest.
