Oh, boy

Favorite gameplay genre of mine probably =D

About Lemmy.ml specifically, iirc it is communist so posts and users will generally go that way.

But this brings a point, each instance has a culture or scope, and so some frustations may come from specific instances, requiring you to keep an eye for that too.

Every once in a while I see some, so I get a feeling there’s a nice amount already. =)

But takes more effort to keep them healthy, as the network is young and relays to help with discoverability aren’t common or widespread yet.

About the fediverse, most generalist communities have rampant political agendas crossdressing as posts of whatever topic the community is about.

I recommend blocking communities that bother you, or individuals if it’s specific ones that keep filling your feed with stuff you don’t want to see.

Been doing it for years and it surely becomes serene without drying up the feed.

Also might I suggest making an account on Mbin instead of Lemmy? It connects to microblogging too so further posts to find, allows blocking posts by linked articles (you’d be surprised how much that cleans the feed), and it’s very responsive to Ublock Origin filters and Violentmonkey scripts.

They do IP bans if you use VPN apparently. Even mine I suspect that got banned for that.

Also first time I hear this, but at this point, it doesn’t sound too unlikely:

My suggestion? If they don’t want you, you shouldn’t go back kneeling to them. Welcome to the fediverse and if I may suggest, help feeding other forums too, to help make Reddit become less relevant.

Home is r/All, right? If so, apparently they were removing it some weeks back? Still accessible at old.reddit.com/r/All according to some users.

However, considering the attempt to kill/severely limit API access some years back, how bad and app-pushing the flagship version of their site is, and how some days ago they were considering removing RSS due to alleged scrappers, the issue would sound intentional.

If they block RSS too, then there’s nothing holding me to the site anymore.

“That’s a nice claim, senator, but why don’t you back it up with a source?”

“The source is that I made it the fuck up!”

(From Max0r’s parody of Metal Gear Revengeance)

Not as slow as some people claim to be - there’s enough daily content even filtering a lot.

Also there are different corners of the fediverse. If you don’t like one, you can block it on your side.

Also Lemmy allows hiding posts. That sure is nice. =)

Looks pretty abstract to me.

Some communities there have bots that comment on posts so people can up/downvote the bot comment to decide if the post fits the community, or if the relevance changed (e.g. in deals communities). The subreddit could use something like this, if they don’t already.

And if you make a meta post or the sort suggesting that or contesting the removal and they ban you, well, shows they don’t want you. So in such an outcome, feel free to post here on the fediverse, either/both in the general art communities, the weirdcore community if you think it fits, abstract art communities if you can find any, or on a community of your own creation for that.

Gazeta do Povo had a translation distributed for free. Maybe they still do?

Gonna make a post about it, but in line with identifying, with people reporting on their own findings in places like NeoDB (ActivityPub-compatible!), it creates a knowledge database. A wiki could be good too (and iirc there are AP-compatible wiki projects too), but it takes way more effort.

Would it be a publicly available page, or accessible only for you?

If it’s a public page, you could possibly host shareware games or with other licenses with a similar effect.

And there’s plenty of games you can legally buy as ROMs (e.g. homebrews on Itchio), games that include ROMs in their files (e.g. River City Girls 0 on Steam, most Neo Geo releases on PC platforms and pretty much any MS-DOS game rerelease), and if you’re from a region with laws not as draconian as the DMCA, there are games with ROMs embedded in their files and that can be extracted. So if it’s a private page, you could go for those too.

If you dumped the disc with an Wii, maybe the mismatch is due to the console being moody with some storage medias.

A while back, I tried an USB stick on it that I would later learn was making several parts of the console mod to misbehave. But when I tried to dump I think it was The Last Story to it, it generated a working dump, even if mismatching the expected hash.

Going by reports I’d see, people I see banned from Reddit mainly were either promoting alternatives or using VPNs.

And since I experienced my own account being silently banned when I tried to log in, being logged to a VPN at the moment I tried to do it despite never having a problem before, and I hadn’t used it since I learned about ActivityPub so no local comments about the fediverse, seems very likely to be the case.

That, or they’re monitoring people even when the user is away from their platform, which would be creepy at best.

I use Proton’s VPN.

Issues I’ve observed: timeouts and extra (sometimes excessive) “are you human” verifications, extra step on troubleshootings if a site doesn’t load properly or at all, sites load slower, connection may not even work when it’s morning in Russia and China or if the server is in a country being bombarded (e.g. Iran’s former allies) or possibly also going through some natural disaster, some sites may hardcode your VPN region to your account if you stay in a given IP too much (e.g. Crunchyroll), and some sites block VPN IPs they know about (e.g. Nijimiss.moe, part of the fediverse, and GameFAQS).
