Wasn't Farmville infamous for getting people to post constant nags for help in their game? Nobody wants that.

@dansup I've been working for some time now in a competitive game using activitypub, but still in very early development since I dont have too much time to work on it https://dev.to/ropoko/welcome-to-wild-league-2gdl

@dansup cute typo in the ALT

@dansup @pixelfed please don't over build your projects. Most often simple is better.

@dansup @pixelfed There used to be this product called BlockParty for Twitter, which shares a lot of that spirit. I think it pivoted into something else privacy but I bet the original founders have some great insights on the issue!

@dansup @pixelfed I would like to see the ability to delete comments and posts in quantity instead of one at a time.

@pixelfed I want to mention that it was a fluke banking error that caused this, you don't need to worry about the stability of our services, and just to be sure, we are working on setting up a standby on another provider.

It's not a bad thing to have backups and a fallback strategy 😅

@dansup Will this support the Wall-to-wall groups model à la smithereen ?

@dansup @pixelfed @nlnet Looks amazing!! I'm very excited.

@dansup have you written a blog post? Apparently not on https://pixelfed.blog/ anywhere else?
Thanks for your work.

@pixelfed I think the ability to report abusive blocklists would go along way to make them more practical though.

@pixelfed Sounds like a recipe for pileons to me. Time and time again we see bad actors getting control of blocklists.

@pixelfed Seems very interesting! I am trying to build a blocklist app too! Would love to have a chat!😀

@dansup I just wish I could use the pixel fed android app to post photos, but it says pixelfed.social is running an old version of the software 😔

@dansup blocklists are a good example why reused usernames could cause difficulties.
A new user may find themselves on one or more blocklists without knowing why.

@dansup @pixelfed Guess it depends on impersonation as a threat vector.

@dansup you deserve a break

@dansup @pixelfed It'd be great if these features got adopted into #mastodon !

@dansup @pixelfed
Please I'm begging you, dark mode needs to make a comeback 🙏🏼😭

@evan
I think "2101 or later" would include "never."

Isn't Artemis going to eventually result in there being one? SpaceX with their huge reusable rockets will sure help too.

@evan semi-related: for people who daydream about spending significant amounts of time on other planets or in orbit, there is a brilliant episode of The Daily demystifying what the experience would be like: "The Bodily Indignities of Space Life" nytimes.com/2023/12/10/podcast…

Listening to it makes me appreciate life on earth so much more! I think of it every time I take a nice long shower or when I enjoy a delicious meal followed by a walk outside

@dansup As an European I can tell you I really don't mind getting compliments and find myself that we should praise the people around us more.

I think the problem with compliments for us often lies more in fact that we give compliments to close people and we get suspicious when a stranger (who doesn't know anything about us) compliments us. Especially from US Americans where terms like "awesome" and "great" in conversations feels overused and this devalues the compliment itself for us.

@dansup Only in northern parts I think. The Nordics are pretty introverted.

@dansup in Europe if somebody focuses on the positive instead of the negative, that's immediately suspicious xD

@dansup i respectfully dont agree with you.

As a de facto central dev authority they can just 1-code properly to avoid breakage of 3rd party apps because of the new features , and 2-just publish an update notice and everyone will follow.

I want to avoid false reasons based on potential technical incompetence.

@dansup

It is fair to make demands of governments and businesses. They set themselves up for that.

Making demands of volunteers on a community project is bullying, pure and simple.

Being on the right side of the argument does not give a licence to bully. End of.

@dansup
Thanks for all the work you do for us :ablobcatheart:

@dansup as others have mentioned, there will always be hate but there is also support.

Your contributions to the Fedi are remarkable and you seem to be very approachable and willing to collaborate. Unfortunately some will never get along and I hope they don't plague your mind.

Your contribution matters.

@dansup

Haha. Canadians are not the bad guys 😍

@dansup

@dansup To be honest, 'weird' is one label I don't mind being taken away from me 😁 (in the current-happenings context, at least).

But I get what you mean. It's nice to see all the unique things people are up to here, and I feel like this place is better about letting me stumble into them than most. I learned a lot since joining here and I think it's made me a happier person offline in some ways.

@dansup
We are all weird here.(Alice in the wonderland).

@dansup

Thank you. I needed to read that. Recently I've run into some very nasty vicious people who want to define acceptable to be only precisely what they think.
