For the most part I think this is a good thing. They are right, Discord has largely replaced public forums for community spaces. The old forums were searchable and indexed by Google and other search engines so why not Discord? I have a Discord community for my open source project OpenRGB. I started it off of someone’s suggestion on a GitLab issue bacl when the project was just getting started and it’s grown to 20K+ users. While I’m not the biggest fan of relying on a proprietary platform like Discord, my attempts to set up alternate spaces on Matrix and Discord-like Spacebar did not get any traction. There’s now 6+ years of project history locked up in Discord conversations. I feel like Google being able to index that will ultimately help reduce seeing repeat questions. While I’m not the biggest fan of AI training on my data, for informative and instructional content I’d prefer the AI overview be giving out accurate and up-to-date information than outdated or inaccurate information. Discord is where questions get answered these days for a lot of communities so it’s where the accurate information is.


Hopefully it involves outdated datacenter GPUs flooding the open market to try and recoup what they can, selling for pennies on the dollar to anyone who will buy them, and thus people figuring out how to adapt these cards to work in consumer systems.


Instead of putting it on even more platforms they won’t keep the version consistent across, maybe fix the release schedule for the platforms it already supports? I bought it on the Steam Sale partly to play cross-play with my girlfriend who has it on Switch 2, but we can’t actually cross-play despite it advertising it because Hello Games can’t synchronize the publish dates for patches like literally every other major cross-play game. Why is version mismatch an issue on the released builds? It’s ridiculous.


Rockstar lost me when they added invasive anticheat to GTAV. It was a great game prior to that, but take away something I’ve been enoying for almost 10 years on a whim and don’t allow me to play it anymore because I’m on Linux? Goodbye and good riddance. Not touching anything they put out ever again.
Lemmy isn’t one big place like Reddit is, it’s a bunch of different services that connect with each other. The rules of what are and are not allowed varies instance to instance, and some instances block others entirely (“defederate”) so if your instance does not allow porn, they likely defederated with instances that do. Either way, if you use the subscribed feed you shouldn’t see things outside of the communities you’ve subscribed to, and communities also have their own rules (usually more specific than the overall instance rules, same as a subreddit’s rules vs. reddit’s sitewide rules).
