Unfortunately Torment is not multiplayer :(

Currently the best way is with Lemmyverse

He posted this update a few months ago, it seems to be progressing well!

I also ______

Regarding decentralized internet, your idea is being enacted! I posted a couple short docs about that over on [email protected]

Here’s the first one, I’ll go hunt down the second.

Edit: found it!

Fahrenheit 451 is certainly worth a read. I read it late in life, and could see immediately why it’s so often read in schools. Very well written, and a compelling story.

Another book that you may find quite personally compelling is The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Archive.org has a free audio book version), due to the themes it covers.

Ah, that’s unfortunate. As an alternative, I have seen some online games name their bots with a random name generator that’s designed to sound somewhat real, like AnnoyingPidgen or WrecklessRaptor. If the voting account naming system was more like that, it would be easier to notice voting patterns/manipulation while still being anonymous.

Regarding the voting account having no name, does that mean it will be a random string of letters and numbers? I get that it will still be possible to discover vote manipulation or mass downvoting with that, but I suspect it would be more difficult to detect initially or without some deeper analysis, since it’s harder to recognize or remember a random string compared to a human made username.

What I saw over there was a large portion of his community pleading with him to delegate administrative tasks to the community, as it became increasingly clear the website was becoming too much for a single guy to manage (he was the only moderator of like 30+ communities that were full to bursting with spam, as well as the sole site admin). He never approved the many applications to help moderate, and said he was extremely slow to trust others, so never appointed a second admin, and instead just continued to silently work on the codebase as the site became unusable from spam.

I think his extreme distrust and desire to do everything himself combined with his medical issues led to extreme burnout, and ultimately its downfall.

Open source software in general. Seeing Blender become an industry standard was awesome, and it looks like the Godot engine may do the same for gaming. Krita has evolved into a truly wonderful painting program (and not half bad as a Photoshop replacement), and Linux itself has come so far, having become a genuine gaming platform.

Quite happy about all of that. :)

The Eternity Dev has returned, and released a new update for it. Last I checked the update hasn’t released on f-droid due to the build failing, but it is available on aurora or play store.

Turn from AMC is really excellent if you’re into revolutionary war spy rings! Excellent writing and acting.

I would also second Andor, fantastic show. Peaky Blinders is another good one, though try not to binge it, I think it’d be much better if watched less avidly.

Yes, those image layouts are fantastic for art communities! It definitely still has a lot of rough edges, UI wise.

I think he’s made some good strides with the mod tools, as seen here: https://piefed.social/post/167045

I’m glad we have a couple promising alternatives, and it’ll be exciting to see how they evolve differently ^^

Piefed is another Lemmy compatible alternative that looks quite promising: https://piefed.social/

ROCm is it’s own hell (unless they finally put some resources into it in the past couple years)

[email protected] might interest you. It’s an experimental community that employs a really interesting bot that scans users all across the lemmyverse, and prevents the most toxic people from participating. It seems to work fairly well, so far.

Have you tried any other video playing application to see if the problem persists?

The community is rightfully distrustful and dismissive toward a technology that is mostly used for scams and grifting.

The Folding Ideas video on crypto has yet to be adequately refuted.

If someone was earnestly looking for a way to privately transact, the best option I’ve seen is GNU taler, which doesn’t require any crypto or blockchains to accomplish its goal extremely well, it just needs wider adoption.

LBRY also uses a crypto back end, and LBRY coin (their crypto) is what odysee used before being bought out by Arweave. I wouldn’t recommend either, personally.

Please be aware, Odysee was recently purchased by a Crypto company that also acquired an NFT company.

For more info, see my comment here: https://slrpnk.net/comment/9749921

I would not recommend investing any time or money into the platform, as it will inevitably crash and burn as the owners walk away flush with cash while everyone else is left holding the bag.

Peertube is not ideal, but it is currently the only alternative that isn’t tied to a shady crypto scheme.
