From what I’ve read/know, the source for Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 were lost a while ago. Doesn’t mean it can’t be reverse engineered at some point, but it’s challenging. I’d LOVE for those to be next though!

Absolutely same here!!

One of my all-time favorite groups - wild to see them come up as a random question lol. You’re right, they’re just … Cozy. And have always just kinda done what they’ve done.

BS suffers from the same issue, no variation in the content is what makes me not want to partake.

Isn’t the whole thing about BlueSky that your feed is your feed though? You actively select and curate what you want. So if you want new music, games, comedy - follow new music, games, and comedy. Sure, those accounts might then post other things sometimes, but by and large, that’s my understanding of BSky.

Feedly isn’t bad.

Truly, it really isn’t that bad after about 10 minutes of tweaking. For all complaining I see in the PCMR spaces, you’d think it needed much more. Should it have to be done? Probably not. Am I glad it can be and there’s plenty of tools (really only 2 needed) to make it look feel and behave like Win10? Yes. Is the Win10 EoL the same as darling XP’s? Also yes, which makes much of this even funnier to me.

Blame Match Group - they own almost all of them.

Infinity is/was my favorite for Reddit on Android, and Voyager is close enough. Just frilly enough, images/videos embed okay (though need some improvements to saving/downloading), and it just works.

99% sure - all the messages say “this action was performed automatically” and if I DO get a reply to a service ticket via email, it says “Thank you for your request, it has been received!” Which means they’re continually closing the ticket I’m replying to asking for help.

With discord, though, the “server” part is largely hidden from the user or at least transparent - that’s the thing. It simplifies the same concept into something more tangible.

I’m sure it’ll go away with time, hopefully as more people join and contribute.

I just wish you had recourse for false (or maybe even correct, but heavy handed) bans, and it’s still the largest gathering place for many communities - retro games, queer communities, other adult interest (not just pornography) spaces, local events/happenings, so it’s really terrible to just be completely shut out of all of that. Whether voluntarily or not. (In my case not.)

👏👏👏 Very well said!

This exactly. Once I dove in and stopped reading, it oddly made more sense to me.

The problem is, and was for me too - that’s not how people think of email. Saying “pick a server” is really arcane for most people, even “pick a domain.” The fediverse as a whole has a terminology and jargon problem it still hasn’t completely reckoned with, or at least figured out.

All of mine were just unilaterally banned at the same time. “Repeated, multiple violations of the content policy. Refer to messages in your other accounts as to why.” No account had details as to why. I suspect it has/had something to do with my work VPN.

Trying to get used to it - slowly. I like it so far! Still super pissed that Reddit can just arbitrarily ban accounts, basically without recourse, and shut you out from any community you were in. Lots of niche queer ones I was in… just can’t participate anymore.

Well, me in particular it’s the whole gay AND disabled thing. But in broader terms: still lots of scammers to watch out for, lots of flakes (even if you’re only looking for a hookup), varies WILDLY by area (mine is mostly tractor riding DL types last time I checked), etc. Not bad, but not super either.

Trust me, it’s not much better for us either. 🤣😭

They didn’t used to, at least many didn’t, before Match Group bought them all. Many, such as OkCupid, used to be quite good.
