@ben the only mainstream rpgmaker game i've played is To the Moon
@wohali none of these were mainstream
@wohali that's a 100% hit rate among visual novels made in rpgmaker because there was one other I've played ever and I'm pretty sure even if it didn't have specific dialogue about it the author gave off the vibe that they could pull it off

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

The hope is that we’ll have proper community support on mastodon by then
I don't the original source for this, but this says 737-6/900 can go down to -43C before fuel freezes... so they are not far from there for sure. 🤯 Brrrrrr

@ai6yr
What I really want to know is there is why the 737-1/500 can tolerate -45C, but the 6/900 can only go to -43C
This one is kinda giving me Depeche Mode vibes

@woozle Part of the job is standing firm against these threats—is that what you mean?
@amcooper Yeah... even (or especially?) when threatened with personal consequences.
yeah, google maps has remained pretty good, and most of its new features have been genuine improvements instead of trend-chasing weirdness
@clive @grumpasaurus There did cram some AI stuff into it, though.
can't believe I played two rpgmaker visual novels today that both were weird about people being gay in a way that felt like good writing and not bigoted writing

I was 35 before I realized your two pieces of toast don't have to have matching toppings. You can have one with jam/marmalade and one with peanut butter if you want to. There are no toast police.
@fesshole you are very wrong and going to be very sorry when the toast police come for you

Welcome! Glad you're liking it.
The big complaints that people tend to have are that federation is a bit confusing, and that it's no where near as big as Reddit. They're both valid, and probably won't change any time soon.
But I think sometimes people overlook the positive aspects of federation and smaller communities. Reddit is damn near unusable these days, and it's full of bots, slop, reposters, ads, and power tripping admins/mods. The Fediverse has been around for quite a few years now and still feels like a place for actual human beings with a lot of freedom to take things in different directions.
I actually worry for when Reddit fully implodes, because the ensuing migration wave to Reddit will bring the same problems and solutions with them.
Yes, i miss some aspects of Reddit, but I’m aware of the hypocrisy that comes with that statement as well

I don’t disagree, but I think the heavy-handed moderation was often in service of “cleaning up” to make the website more commercially palatable. Like when they pulled r/atheism as a front-page reddit.
For me, the out of control engagement bots constantly commenting on my comments was the last straw that made me leave.
