No. It just leads to people gaming the system. I also think that counting upvotes but not downvotes is also a good idea, when ranking which posts show first. Too many people use downvote for "I disagree", which means a true idea with less than 50% popularity gets buried.

This is a recourse. You start your own node and block the offending node. Aren't there features that let you block individual users?

I haven't used daijisho. I think daijisho is just a frontend that calls Retroarch, so you're using Retroarch either way.

A site like Reddit could be run on a skeleton crew of 20-50 people. That's what Elon Musk is trying to do somewhat with Twitter, slashing unnecessary employees. (Example: How many people are working on lemmy?)

Look at it from the viewpoint of an executive. "I managed a 5 person team." makes you sound like a loser. "I managed a 100 person division" makes you sound like a Big Important Person, even if 95 of those jobs were unnecessary.

Also look at it from the viewpoint of investors. If an investor puts $200M into Reddit, they want Reddit to be spending $100M-$200M on growth. No investor would put $200M into reddit if reddit was going to just run a barebones operation spending $20M per year and then coasting for 10 years off the investment money.

There's a spreadsheet that lists the capabilities of the various devices. I don't know where the S22 falls on the list. The devices use cheap chips that are available in bulk, so they generally will be less capable than a current top-end smartphone.

Simplest is Retroarch or Daijisho.

If you really want to get fancy, consider getting one of the cheap handhelds with build-in game controllers, like an Anbernic RG353 or Retroid Pocket.

Most incremental games are html that just runs in a browser. Only the ones that have multiplayer would have some sort of server code, and the developers usually don't publish that.

That isn't the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.

Actually, the government did just call up Twitter and tell them to censor things. That's the whole point of the Matt Taibbi Twitter Files stories. But you also have other non-government groups policing the Internet, calling up Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc and demanding censorship.

On every conspiracy theory forum, there's at least one person posting antisemitic stuff. It's a standard trick to discredit them. I.e., person A posts a true conspiracy theory X. Person B posts the same conspiracy theory and also something antisemtic. Does that automatically mean X is wrong?

Switching to Discord is pointless. That's switching from a website controlled by one evil corporation to one controlled by a different evil corporation. Discord is still in hyper-growth mode, so they aren't going to be adding user-hostile features for awhile. Tilde has the same problem.

The webapp is good enough for me. (for lemmy)
