Did it for almost a decade. Best team I’ve worked with, but eventually enough dominos began to fall, and me staying there only really helped enforce the bad behavior of higher ups. Many followed after me.

Average viewer: They must call it Horizon, because the monsters are always off in the distance on the horizon!

I can’t imagine they’d put the money behind it. It would either need to be game of thrones money, or you’d just see robots in the pilot and finale.

Didn’t even think to try scaled. It most definitely is showing more diverse posts. Downside is that it brings back a lot of non english speaking communities. Still a good option for exploring though!

I knew about most of these, but had not stumbled upon casual conversation yet, thank you!

Anyway to make the all page more diverse? I feel like it’s just 10 communities that appear there and it’s basically broken down to tech, memes and politics. I’m on lemmy.world and ysint voyager. Every once in a while I see stuff from sh.itjust.works.

I know when I used to use kbin, you first had to let your device sync with other instances before they started populating onto your feed.

This piqued my interest. I’ll wait for the reviews. I didn’t think I’d enjoy Dead Cells, but it quickly became a favorite.

I’m really surprised they went with Shadow instead of Metal Sonic. Thematically Metal Sonic fits with all the Robotnik arsenal happening in the stories. Shadow is more at the forefront of stuff now, so I guess that’s why. I assume Shadow will be good by the end of it, similar to Knuckles, and the final boss may still end up being a version Metal Sonic maybe?

Oh shit, here we go. I did not know a sequel was coming.

I eat this way and people look at me like I have two heads.

This is the latest example that sparked it off again, but stuff like this has been going on for a decade. Many animators and vfx artists who work for high profile companies never get the final versions of their work and sometimes work on locked down servers where they can’t easily copy the work for themselves. They are at the whim of the company to provide them the files. Usually they are ignored so the artists resort to pirating the work to then edit it down and showcase on their websites and reels.

I hate, hate, hate, haaaaate, that the fake ai voices on short videos has leaked to YouTube and Instagram and anywhere else that hosts videos. I’m assuming that happened, because TikTok started off mostly as a Chinese company. People couldn’t speak English and used ai voices to remedy that and here we are.

A runner up is the downward trajectory of reaction videos. Now people are just pasting their floating heads nodding in the corner of a reposted content.

This is a much longer response than I was expecting! This all sounds good to me. I’m glad to know you’ve already been thinking through all of this. One of my larger worries is seeing communities filled with bots posting ai art and taking over.

(Not that you’ll necessarily have an answer for this one, but a thought that popped up from your list) Speaking of nsfw, I’m curious how nsfw art content will end up on Lemmy. I remember there was eventually a lot of backlash on /r/art since the art ended up becoming mostly painted nude women, though I feel like Lemmy has less need to care about that kind of stuff since they are not worried about sponsors seeing nudity.

I didn’t know this! Thank you!

This seems interesting

• Do you have a list of your current defederated instances?
• Will you have policies on how art is treated/attributed to?

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

Almost to 10. 9yrs 6 months before I left.

Their goal is not to be a Reddit alternative or to replace the fediverse. Maybe in the long run it will have a larger user base, but for now they want to remain on the smaller size. Which is fine, there is room for multiple websites. It’s a good thing everyone isn’t located in one source. Things can be across lemmy, mastodon, Kbin, tildes, squabbles, etc.
