Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don’t (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use “good old-fashioned” phone calls :D
She’s gorgeous!
Not the summer sale but the Steam fest, I played House Flipper 2 demo, I really enjoyed it and it turned out it was the most played one.
House Flipper is a sort of simulator, the purpose of the game is to buy houses in horrible conditions, renovate them and resell them, there’s something oddly satisfying in it, I love it :D
If you never played WoW before, I suggest you play the official one before dabbling with emulators/private servers, it’s a much better experience if you know nothing about the game.
WoW client is not native on Linux but it runs flawlessly regardless, always have, it’s also very easy to install with Lutris: https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/, use the battle.net script and follow instructions to install dependencies first.
Opensource yes, original impossible.
WoW server emulators have been in development for over a decade, they’re public projects on GitHub and released under opensource licenses, all private servers use those emulators, none of them has original code, it’s never been stolen.
You can compile them for Linux (as well as Windows), how well they work depends on the version, up to WoTLK they’re fine, from Cata on they’re quite bad.
You will need the original clients that are Windows only but they work flawlessly with WINE.
Most popular projects:
That’s only beehaw tho, it’s quite an unique community, it’s not representative of the “average” lemmy server.
I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn’t make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they’re federated with.
Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.
Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.
I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see
I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.
I fully agree with you, karma “whoring” is a serious problem on reddit, awards could lead to the same behavior here if implemented.
Donations are the best way to support the platform, if you want to be “visible” as donator, opencollective allows you to post a message about it, there’s also a sort of top donators page, that’s more than enough in my opinion.
Content is just content, it’s links, it’s media, whatever
Content is not all the same, there’s quality content and there’s shitposting.
“facebook content” is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.
I don’t want shitposting burying quality content here, that’s what will happen if we don’t do anything about it.
Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don’t give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don’t want ANY of that happening to lemmy.
Innocent until proven otherwise.
There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they’re not innocent at all?
If I wanted to see facebook shit I would use facebook, I stopped using whatsapp when it was bought by facebook, I don’t want to see their content overwhelming the fediverse, that’s why I’m here instead of there.
Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?
That always happens when a new platform is born.
Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don’t mind the quirks, they’re not scared of bugs or instabilities.
They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn’t even know about it.
No, but it’s highly unlikely since before it’s been buttered it doesn’t know yet which side to fall upon.
I was thinking the same, especially after seeing several posts “demanding” Lemmy to change this and change that.
I mean, that’s not to say there’s no room for improvements, but if the first thing some people do when going to a new platform is wanting changes to meet their personal way of doing things, instead to try and adapt first to how the platform works and learn from it, in my opinion it means those people are not really interested in being here and make lemmy succeed, they’re just following the “flavor of the month” and won’t last long here anyway.
I think the fediverse being not so intuitive might be a very good thing actually, it can act as a sort of filter so it doesn’t succumb to the masses ruining everything, hopefully.
People keep coming up with smarter and smarter way to protest, I love it!
That’s stupid, I mean, cat nets are basically invisible from down the street, I have one on my balcony, your neighbors complained just for the sake of it, well done anyway! :D
Good job!
