"morality"... What a fucking joke.

Microsoft can use its financial muscle to keep gamepass games free. This will push consumers to Microsoft even if the quality of the games isn't the same as Sony.

People don't prioritize quality, we've seen this in the industry over and over, people prefer cheap prices. Which is why right now most of the products are shit, because people kept buying low quality for cheap. And the same will happen with Microsoft, most of the world would rather have free gamepass games for new games than having to wait years until they become available in Sony's free tier.

This is how Microsoft will penetrate the market. I already have friends moving to Xbox because it is cheaper. Microsoft isn't a monopoly right now, but this is a long term play. Microsoft is a whale, Sony is a shrimp. Microsoft can kill Sony using its financial muscle, just like Walmart kills local competitors.

And not being welcomed is going to stop them?

Microsoft id going to fuck the whole gaming industry with their monopoly.

 

Let's say I have 2 instances that are federated: instanceA and instanceB.

These instances have many communities, and two of them has the same name. The "c/comX". So there is comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB.

I know that if I have an user in instanceA, I can see content from instanceB in the "All" view of the Lemmy UI. But what if I only want to see the "comX" posts?

I went into the community view for comX in instanceA and could only see posts from that same instance. Is there a way to see posts from a specific community but fetching posts from federated servers with the same community name?

Like a view in which I can see all posts from comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB, and all the other instances with comX that are federated with instanceA too.

Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don't see any place to ask this type of questions.

I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn't I see gaming communities from other instances?

I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

For a second, I thought you had lost the no poop challenge.

Isn't general relativity just a way to interpret reality instead of what reality is?

I mean, just a very accurate model of reality. But anything can be anything in any model, which is cool as long as the model has some kind of utility.

(?)

Or, are we accepting that objectively gravity is definetely not a force?

Isn't federation a two way contract? Or is it enabled by default on instances and only blacklisted?

The eternal echoes of humanity endure, unyielding to time's capricious grasp.

 

I saw that this instance had a large number of users so I thought "more users->more content->more fun". Apparently, I had to prove my value by answering 3 questions that showed my interest in their community and my value as a potential future member.

What could possibly be my value to a general purpose instance besides money? I'm a software/cloud engineer so I guess there are things I could help with, but my guess is they were expecting me to say "I can donate".

I get it, they need donations to exist, but this upfront? And to a community I don't even know? Maybe I'm imagining things and they were looking for something else?

Do all instances rely on donations? I'd like to contribute to the instances I enjoy at some point. But only if I feel at home with them, not as a prerequisite to join.
