I never switched. Just doesn’t seem worth the hassle.
Loads of broken features and extra work shoved onto the individual compositor / WM developers. I don’t care about security on my own computer, I just want screen sharing and clipboards to work reliably.
That said, I use just one (ultrawide) monitor, so even the benefits aren’t really there at all.
The moderators would rather have absolute power (controlling registration, community creation, all moderation, etc.) in their small fiefdom than foster a growing and open community. It’s sad, but hopefully lemmy.world will grow more.
They can - but the issue is if the other instances don’t help ban them too then it can become a lot of work literally whackamole.
Like I understand it, but I still think this is an over-reaction. Lemmy.world has been good in banning spammers I’ve reported there in my experience.
We really need more tools for the UI experience (starting with fixing the refreshing home page and post switching bugs!) - like to allow communities and instances to completely block image posts and comments, to auto-moderate URLs, detect users posting repeat content, etc. but de-federating like this is not the answer IMO.
This does much more harm than good IMO - splintering the community at such a sensitive time of growth is a bad idea.
Hopefully there’ll be the ability to block images in comments and posts, and better tools for blocking / detecting spammers, and cross-instance bans, auto-moderating hyperlinks, etc. soon.
But the demand for unilateral access to other communities’ content is disturbing. The Lemmy federation works because of reciprocity.
Definitely won’t be recommending beehaw for new users now.
The Witcher 3 (mainly the DLCs), the story was so good, like it’s the only game I can remember where I was waiting to play it every weekend just for the story.
Ocarina of Time - the music is so amazing, I can still remember all of it.
Runescape Classic (like 2002) for making me impervious to scams - you get scammed by some players once and that sticks with you.
Terraria - I just don’t understand what you’re meant to do or why it’s interesting.
I actually really like TOTK though, it’s a big improvement over BOTW with a slightly more alive world and the vehicle creation stuff is fun.
But how would they know? It’s like Blade Runner.
