That doesn't justify it...

You badly underestimate the proportion of people who have never heard of Mastadon.

Who's demanding anything? Surely we can discuss it amongst ourselves as a community?

I agree. I haven't noticed anything from lemm.ee in my casual browsing.

Let's all just use IPs

In nearly 17 years at Valve, Wood helped build and ship the company’s most notable titles, including Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, CS:GO and both episodes of Half-Life 2. He was a founding member of the CS:GO project and worked on that series for six years; he was pivotal in crafting Portal 2’s co-op mode, and he created choreography and combat scenes in Half-Life and Left 4 Dead. Level design was one of his specialties.

You have my attention.

“It really is more about cozy exploration,” Wood told Engadget. “The game has aspects of platforming, but it's very light platforming. It's more about exploring vertically, and exploring nooks and crannies. I've done a lot of things throughout my career, but one of the things I spent a lot of time doing was level design in video games, so I have a lot of personal interest in creating spaces that feel fun to explore, to sort of poke around in.”

And, it's only communities someone on beehaw has specifically subscribed to. Communities from federated instances won't show up in all if no one from beehaw has ever subscribed to them.

I think so. sh.itjust.works is no where near as big. And the admin there has always been very responsive and transparent whenever I had concerns. The patient gamers community is also very friendly.

I would like to note that sh.itjust.works hasn't had unverified sign ups enabled for a while now. I have an account there too so it really doesn't make much of a difference to me but I would like an updated stance from the admins here. The initial concerns they voiced don't seem as relevant as they once were.

As for lemmy.world, it's the biggest, and issues can arise from that, so that makes more sense to me.

All on beehaw? Because if so those aren't from the instances we're talking about.

Every day I'm closer to trying Linux again.
