The Walking Dead (Telltale's version). I expected zombies, and a bit of action and tension from trying to escape them and survive. What I didn't expect was the emotional rollercoaster, and the genuine emotional reaction it got from me. One of the most powerful gaming experiences I've had.
It seems to me that activity pub could still be useful for a couple of reasons. If you live in the suburbs of a city, then bring able to also access an instance for your suburb and your city might be useful.
And if you live in multiple locales, or if want to stay connected to your old home town etc
We hear you! We know you aren't happy with our torment nexus implementation, but don't worry, we've got so much data on most of you that we don't need to put you through the torment nexus. And for the remaining 10%, we'll still put you in the torment nexus, but you'll be able to pick which colour you want your nexus to be!
Yep, but to get those features you have to access it from the piefed/lemmy instance. gup.pe/friendica style groups predate lemmy though, and were designed to be accessed from your mastodon/fediverse account, rather than being signed in to directly.
It is more complicated than that. Vulnerable minorities don't thrive in spaces where they're endlessly playing whack a mole with bigots and trolls.
I didn't leave Twitter for the fediverse because of its network. I left even before Musk, because Twitter was full of hate that the admins didn't feel the need to action.
Your preference is just that... And as long as there is room for your preference on the fediverse without it being the only way to experience it, we can both have the experiences we want.
The numbers of fediverse users have more to do with onboarding, VC funding for marketing and the inherent nature of federation itself than it has to do with defederation policies
I spent six weeks in Argentina by myself, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I just went wherever I felt like as I felt like it.
