Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? by Berin in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[-] Berin@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What S_H_K said, people have reported being rebuked for posting pictures without ALT-text and not CW-ing uncommon things like eye-contact or food, for example. One person notably received angry messages for posting about cutting their finger on a sheet of paper without CW. The worst accounts were of POC talking about racism they experienced and being told to put it under CW.

We've had this exact conversation in this community two months ago already, in case you want to back read the comments from back then. Nothing significant has changed

To paraphrase my opinion from back then:

  • Easier onboarding, and a familiar, easier UX
  • customizable feeds you can subscribe to + starterpacks instantly give you full timelines and people to follow (and followers, if you're in many starter packs)
  • better discoverability, and therefore higher engagement
  • stacking moderation and excellent security features (e.g. detachable quote boosts, "the nuclear block")
  • many users who tried Mastodon first had bad experiences with "HOA"-like behavior and over-enthusiastic mods

No, @hitagi@ani.social was correct, the post originally had a typo in it, which I fixed after I got corrected through an earlier comment, but the replies don't seem to federate properly 😅 Also yes, Taittsu seems to be an intentional pun on Twitter

I didn't censor it. The original says "my bals" but there's only a single "bal" at risk here, so I adjusted it (badly) to fit the joke

Thank you for the nice reply! ☺️

I think, out of the different approaches outlined in the post, I'd go with the main menu link. Larian's pre-game launcher is honestly kind of annoying, since it takes one more step to start the actual game. And the in-game pop-up method I'd only use if the advertised game is a direct sequel imo 🤔

The "gay furry weeb mario game" (as described by the dev) not only offers lots of platforming action, but also comes prepackaged with tools to create custom levels and mini-games (which honestly are kinda bonkers, judging from the dev's previews)

Here's the minigames & modding trailer:

New Ren'Py Lemmy Community!

Heyo, I made a community for Ren'Py developers to ask for help and share their projects! Feel free to tag it to crosspost your mastodon posts, just like this post here. (But read the rules first, please)

https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/renpy

@renpy

#RenPy #GameDev #VNDev #IndieDev #VisualNovel

Hello Python community! I wanted to present the newly-made Ren'Py community on here.

Ren'Py is a Python-based game engine for visual novel development aimed at beginner developers with little prior programming experience. It uses a simple movie script-like syntax and provides both must-have visual novel components and tons of quality-of-life features out of the box. Capable Python programmers can easily extend the framework via custom components.

If you ever wanted to create an interactive fiction game, feel free to take a look!

You can solo all of the main story quest except for 8-player boss battles and one required 24-player alliance raid series.
