Its not that hard to fathom when you have worked with these types of people.

All it was was a numbers meeting, no User Experience folks in the room. They said how much revenue they would increase quarter over quarter, and how much engagement it would drive. Everyone claps, the meeting ends they move forward with the next terrible design decision. Companies no longer take focus group testing seriously for anything.

Yakuza - any of them honestly. They run so well on the SD it’s incredible.

I use discord for 2 things, my personal group chat with friends that I manage, and keeping up with Mechanical Keyboard artisan shops and manufacturers. So I mean it wont be a huge leap for me to migrate to something better.

This is essentially where I am with it. I get the outrage but for now I don’t have an issue. But likely as with many things lately, we should maybe pursue the federated option.

Your client may show it and your instance may collect the locally but once your instances syncs with Beehaw again it will update. At least that’s my understanding - not sure if there is someone with a better understanding about federated instances and how they handle downvotes.

dragon quest monsters 3, Luigis mansion 2 remaster, pikman 1+2 hd, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

On here? not possible, the beehaw community this is hosted on has downvotes disabled. Unless you mean on yt which all i can say to that is "its youtube".

This direct was a hit after hit for me. I am excited for nearly every game on the lineup

Yeah I think its the same issue Twitter is having right now. All of the bootlickers are being elevated above the rest of the conversation. Could be 2 fold apathy in terms of lurkers not wanting to participate in the conversation leaving all the air for the mouth breathers, or bots. Or a combination of both.

I agree, and the hard pivot outwardly over policies and the near antagonistic stance the admin team has suddenly taken has got to be a precursor to something we not be aware of yet. Spez feels like a willing scapegoat to make a few million as he parachutes out when it blows up. They will use him to implement the unpopular decisions, get it "profitable" leading up to the IPO then remove spez and bring in a populist type CEO to smooth over the dissent. Maybe give better tools, act like they give a shit but not actually roll back any changes.

We know this tactic as its something wall street does all the time, and something reddit specifically has done before as well.

They really did recommend Digg as an alternative to Reddit. Some stubborn exec at Digg is punching the air right now.

I mean genuinely if your charging for access to the content I have created then I am I entitled to a portion of your revenue. Same as Adsense on YT not that I want to turn it into a race to the bottom for engagement like those scenarios are conducive to. But if we want to make it about money we can make it about money /u/spez.

If I were an executive and If I was even 2% clued into the effect this is having on shifting the conversation to fediverse type projects I would be shitting myself. Not because this will have an immediately noticeable effect on my bottom line, but that it will continue to grow organically. We already crossed the threshold of momentum needed to self sustain, its all up from here especially as the tools and systems mature.

Just look at the tech literate around us start to question “yeah why the fuck are we leaving social media in the hands of corporations???”
