I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.

Totk had a significantly wider range of things you could do, but botw challenged you more to come up with solutions (whereas totk almost encourages cheesing things with zonai tech)

classicube is pretty cool, open source Minecraft classic-like game (so, no crafting or survival aspects, limited world sizes)

High-scale software is complex, sometimes there are edge cases where weird unexpected stuff happens. This isn’t a situation they would normally run into.

Kind of. You could add anybody as a mod to your sub and it would auto-approve the addition at the time.

The bad part is really that he allowed that sub to begin with, and was aware of it without taking any action. Running a site with entirely user-generated content isn’t easy, but that was definitely some low-hanging fruit there

To be a little fair (and I am not being the devils advocate here, to be clear) Steve is literally in the position that is required, by definition, to drive shareholder value and take the fall for unpopular changes.

More than likely none of these decisions he’s made recently were by him, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just being used as a scapegoat by the directors and will be given a golden parachute when he announces he’s resigning “in response” to the community backlash.

Absolutely scandalous. Alert the press

It’s a similar concept to email, so I would imagine there will always be big players who will have a reputation of trustworthiness/reliability.

The whole concept here seems to favor spinning up your own “cache” instance between you and the content you want (similar to how old email clients worked, downloading emails from the mail server and never live-fetching them), which is fabulous for distributing the load. Discovery takes a back seat when doing that, but it’s still pretty doable.

classicube runs on everything, Minecraft-like written in c

I’m subscribed to deezer for music discovery and using something like deemix for offline use, but their discovery is so bad I signed up for a trial of Apple Music and will likely be cancelling my deezer sub until I need to make an offline archive

To be fair, Reddit operates on a much larger scale even for small subs

Not playing devils advocate, but the burden of hosting lemmy is not comparable today
