Thank you for your reply! That makes sense that it would be more the wider Lemmy to look into it.

Thank you for clarifying this, I was not aware that the Fediverse put pressure on instances to moderate or risk defederation, but that does make sense.

My worry was long term risks for Federated spaces such as if bad actors climbed up to admin or moderator roles, which I have seen happen on Reddit even for big name subs. Although in those cases, it doesn’t guarantee that block/mute lists would be helpful. Your comment does give me hope though since even if one of the bigger instances was taken hold of by bad actors, it could be defederated by the rest and other new instances could take its place which are not operated by bad actors.

I agree that defederation is a powerful tool. I don’t think those outside of Lemmy know a lot about this yet as an added benefit of the Fediverse system. I had a difficult time articulating just how Lemmy and the Fediverse was a better long term system compared to Reddit since I really liked the block/mute list idea from BlurSky which was not on Lemmy. But your comment really puts it into perspective of how we can keep this space thriving.

You can adjust the filter or even disable it.

I’m not personally someone that knows what criteria their filter uses, but I do see what a difference it makes when I compare how my feed looks on BlueSky compared to when I used Twitter.

I believe accounts are flagged for spreading misinformation by users, those accounts then get reviewed. You can opt to show all accounts and content that post misinformation and can optionally choose to have the tag attached to their profile which indicates this profile is one flagged for spreading misinformation.

Dang, I just got to episode five last week too. Although, I had a feeling they would cancel this even from the first episode, so I’m not too surprised.

I feel it was decent, but it’s a hard premise to pull off imo. Most notably I feel this show would have landed better a few years ago. Some of the bits were cheesy in ways that don’t necessarily land as much these days.

Maybe the issue it had was that it was trying to write to too broad of an audience? It’s going for a niche of nerds that maybe want to learn a bit more about what things are actually like inside these gaming companies, but then I feel some of the humor is washed down to be more palatable for even kids to watch. It had Rob McElhenney and David Hornsby from It’s Always Sunny which were great casting picks, but the writing humor they were delivering was very PG in comparison to It’s Always Sunny.

I can see producers and writers wanting to avoid a comparison to Silicon Valley for instance. I feel this is probably why they went at it from the angle which they did, but the show a much harder time landing with its PG writing. They didn’t give themselves a ton of wiggle room either by writing it to be geared towards WoW and maybe some other MMO fans specifically. As I feel having other game projects the big studio is working on could at least have let them pivot the narrative. I feel at times some of the material could even have been applied to say Riot or Mihoyo, but from what I saw it felt very WoW based mixed with some Big Bang Theory level of humor.

Thank you for your reply, and that would be more than okay for most people. Per comment is still solid!

I was not aware of this, thank you for sharing! I agree having a non-Google connected option would be better.

Imagine going over to someone’s house and they bust these bad boys out for you to enjoy a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

I bet Frank was trying to amuse her with that one. :P

Lmao this made me think of the cat above saying, “Long live the king” before knocking the other one into the sink.
