Alan Wake 2 – Behind The Scenes | Remedy's Dream Game by Anon2971 in c/gaming@kbin.social

Exactly. I've been following Remedy since I was a teen and they've always made it crystal-clear Alan Wake 2 was the #1 priority in their hearts, but the realities of AW1 not selling particularly strong at first meant they didn't have much leverage to make it as soon as they wanted to. They very transparently and regularly talked about Alan Wake 2.

I'm really excited to see how different this turns out from the original now they can apply the lessons they learned in Quantum Break and Control.

Updated: Reddit is quietly restoring deleted AND overwritten posts and comments by Anon2971 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

I think we should actively keep track of Reddit restoring user's content without people's permission. Screenshots, timestamps, everything. Monitor it all.

Maybe if Reddit go ahead with their API change whilst treating their users like such disposable crap, we could reach out to the EU to inform them of Reddit's GDPR breaches. Maybe that'd lead to their new revenue from API charges disappearing into hefty EU fines.

Update: Maybe there's going to be some loophole about actually having to use the data deletion request via Reddit's UI for there to be an actually GDPR breach though thinking about it. Going to ask around some Law friends for advise

Lemmy is a pretty cool platform. But I think we need to consider how to make cross-instance community federation more user friendly and accessible. (kbin.social)

Hello, Lemmyverse. I'm posting from kbin and crossing my fingers it'll federate properly.

I'm quite enjoying using this platform as a Reddit replacement so far. But I just wanted to make this post about how federation is presented to the end user. As someone who is tech-inclined, I understand how it works - you can join either local instance communities or ones hosted via another instance by finding it's URL - but it's not something you can exactly easily figure out. You have to research and learn how to do it a bit.

I feel like having to use external websites like Browse Feddit just to find stuff to explore is going to be a major stumbling block for the growth of Lemmy. It's definitely not an accessible way to find communities. I'm personally able to find content I want so far, but the mere attempt to explain the Fediverse works seems to make people roll their eyes or immediately ignore Lemmy out of confusion.

I'm not sure what the solution is. But I just wanted to start a thread on that topic to open up a discussion about that. I think Lemmy has a pretty promising foundation as a social media platform in general otherwise. I'm all ears to any suggestions on how we could make the cross-instance communication that makes the Fediverse so unique easier to understand and explore.

How do you feel about people upvoting their own posts? by Anon2971 in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

I've made a poll so we can decide. We could then add the most popular suggestion to the Codeberg repo. I'm personally leaning towards no self upvoting.

Update: Now we've had hella votes I've added a feature request to the repo.

Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout ‘will pass’ by Anon2971 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

I guess this is the new Reddit! Time to kick our feet up.

I expected as much. 2 days is a pitiful protest length. I will not be using Reddit any longer whilst keeping an eye on updates from here and other news sites. I'm hoping this memo encourages all subreddits to protest idnefinitely until this assclown of a CEO is willing to negotiate lower API prices. And if he's not, onto greener pastures. And watching /r/wallstreetbets figure out a way to destroy their IPO when it eventually launches.

I'm absolutely loving how thoroughly The Verge is covering this story. No other tech news site seems to be updating this situation so frequently and with such a supportive tone.
