I only got Divinity Original Sin 2 and Titanfall 2. I also got a lot on my backlog but I've only spent hours on Civ VI for the past month after I repaired/upgraded my PC.

He's also supporting an anti-vaxxer's presidential candidacy (Robert F Kennedy Jr).

Not yet. Pero supposedly they plan to support it. Might be interesting, but the concerns in the post you linked are valid. Heck, even the nature of Activity Pub could result to Meta gaining access to all of the content in the fediverse to feed their own AI initiatives.

It looked like they managed to address some performance issues after the upgrade. Impressive how they even managed to scale back to just using one container as well.

Some of Twitter's problems where already there before Jack Dorsey left. And now he's endorsing anti-vaxxer Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Some articles claim that they might support ActivityPub. Weird. But it could be a viable strategy to attract users from Mastodon or Misskey. Or it could be a way to reach the EU market as they seem to be having data privacy issues there.

It's a bad combination of using a camera lens with a wider focal length and the distance of the camera to the subject. Yung national ID ko papunta na sa fisheye lens distortion.

Huh. I just realized how ActivityPub could be a double edged sword if I'm understanding it right. If you have 5 users in your instance who are all subscribed to the same community on another instance, then you'll only need to store a single copy of that community in your instance. But if all 5 each have a different subscription, then you'll be storing a copy of each community for all 5 users. The first scenario would be more efficient in terms of storage.

That's another can of worms I've never thought about. Reddit used to have a warranty canary in their annual transparency report. It disappeared on the next year which indicated that foreign governments has started potential user information requests.

In 2016, there was one preservation request from Philippines. But by last year, there were 8 content removal requests.

So yeah, it's possible that a PH-centric instance could be sanctioned by the government for content they may deem questionable.

A single stack might not be enough judging from lemmy.world's upgrade woes. And in hindsight, you'll also need a team of technically adept people aside from the admin/mod team. But it could also be interesting to have a single user instance for the sake of having a local copy of all the federated communities you subscribe to... as long as those instances would allow federation.

Yeah. Hosting might be cheaper, but it would be a challenge to keep it sustainable if it's going to operate through contributions. And yeah, it's a pity that dot.ph has complete control over the .ph TLDs. But I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to be a .ph, but any domain name that could cater to the ph crowd.

It would be interesting to have a .ph instance though. r/ph managed to reach 1M subscribers alone, and the offshoot ph subs could justify having a ph-centric instance.
