I've had some frustrating experiences. A few weeks ago when I posted something, even if other people disagreed, they would respond with the kindness of assuming that I'm speaking in good faith. More and more people are responding to my comments rather aggressively. It's mostly people with far left views, which I suppose is better than people with far right views, but it's still rather off-putting.
It's gotten bad enough that I almost expect for someone to respond to this comment negatively.

This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the "World Wide Web" which doesn't fit anyway since it isn't an app and giving more space to everything else.
Why not try starting a magazine with a very similar name? I think the magazines are case sensitive so maybe m/Hardware
I think that's true for some niche topics, but other ones are better served by having dedicated communities from the start.
When I joined I made 2 magazines. One of them was about collecting Nintendo games and I quickly realized that I would have better discussions if I just joined the Nintendo magazine. I've basically abandoned it. The other I made, m/Otomegames I think is needed. We could post in the general gaming magazines, but there's a whole bunch conventions and inside jokes that people who don't play otome games wouldn't understand.
Now for my shameless plug: do you like otome games? Do you not know what otome games are, but romance/adventure games made for women sounds intriguing? Come join us <- direct link. "@Otomegames @kbin.social" <- remove the space for federated peeps
Isn't that about 50 years? unless your grandkids are already born.
I don’t really agree with this article. The argument seems to rest on the idea that a representative democracy is a compromise on direct democracy. In reality, even though I have the ability to meaningfully participate in every election a direct democracy would entail, I have no desire to because I have other things I would rather spend my time doing.
Similarly, even if I have the ability to run my own instance (admittedly I do not, but many of us early adopters do), I do not want to. I’m happy to let other people do it as long as those people seem like broadly agree with my morals. I don’t need an close relationship, just a trustful one. This digital forum inherently has even better benefits than real life; if I realize I dislike my current instance, I have the option to move to another instance or create my own. In real life I can only move to another district or hope to vote out my current rep.
For long live the queen at least, this is a whole sub genre of visual novels called stat-raisers. LLTQ was inspired by series princess maker. Princess maker 2 is available on steam and is probably the most popular one. As for games like exocolonist check out the rpg/vn hybrids made by Winter Wolves, she’s made a whole bunch of them and is in the process of running a kickstarter for a sequel to one of them.
Consider joining m/Otomegames, which full disclosure I run. I'm not sure if you're familiar with otome games but it's a genre of visual novels targeted towards women. The romance in games coming out of Japan tend to be exclusively girlxboy, but ones made in the west tend to let you pick your gender and allow both straight and lgbt romances. Most of them are straight visual novels without the stat-raising or RPG elements. Thus, the content on m/Otomegames will be mostly tangential, but both games you mentioned are considered otome adjacent, and I include games like them on my bi-weekly news round up.
If this is happening to you look up how to clean the inside of your ps5. The ps5 has a special place you can vacuum out the inside (which normally breaks electronics)

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn't reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.
