Funnily enough (not funny actually, considering the war crimes and all), the Old Testament says that the Jews/Isrealites will never get rid of other people living in the area due to not driving them out in their original conquest.

I don’t think there is a cutoff.

My 80yo grandfather still pulls out the gamecube to play Mario Kart (and for a long time noone else could beat him). My grandmother before she passed was not really big on video games but would play one specific level of crash bandicoot over and over again.

My 45~yo mother streams minecraft in her free time and is even looking to start up a YouTube channel with more content. Some of her viewers are close to her age and when she was playing more Counter Strike than Minecraft the server she played on had adults of all ages on it.

I’m getting closer to 30 every year and I can’t see myself ever quitting games. If/when I marry I imagine playing games will just be part of family bonding. I may get worse as I age like my grandfather but I doubt I’ll ever stop.

You can see a good example of this in the gaming sphere as both Path of Exile and Warframe have entire instances for themselves.

Honestly, it keeps it simpler. The idea of federation and etc can go above the heads of people so it’s probably simpler to just focus on one instance and let the users discover the wider world of federation at their own pace.

Personally though, I would have mentioned Lemmy/Kbin in some capacity.

I wonder if this will end as poorly as that eating disorder hotline that did the same thing.

It’s nice for sure. Even outside of Beehaw I believe that with the smaller overall user base of Lemmy, most communities should be more general until the user base gets much larger.

For example, staying on the topic of video games. There’s a community for factory/automation games which is likely to stay more active than if Factorio, Satisfactory, and others each had their own community. Also, having a community for the subgenre means that small indie games that would normally rarely be discussed have a place.

One day, I’m going to run a minecart server for my gaming group that is in creative (and probably modded) just to see what wild things are built.

Came here to suggest vampire survivors. Super cheap game that you can just turn your brain off and play.

Yeah, if I stick with Lemmy (which seems highly likely) I want to put up my own private instance for similar reasons and maybe even invite friends and family that I can talk into it.

Don’t quote me on it but I believe that is a known issue that is being worked on. Infact I thought I saw something about the recent 0.18 version of Lemmy having a fix for that.

I’m new here but if I stick around long enough I’ll probably get up my own server/instance(s) for the various parts of the fediverse I participle in. Mostly because it sounds neat and partially because it would allow other people I know to have a fediverse “home” operated by a familiar face (if the fediverse gets popular among the mainstream).

Right now it’s just Lemmy, but I may eventually participate in Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, Owncast and.

I’m going to wait first though to see if the Lemmy userbase (and platform) remains healthy and/or grows. Then would come the hard part of setup, I’m familiar with technology, but nowhere near a professional or a hobbyist (unless you count gaming).

Reminds me of a meme (read brilliant idea) I saw where US minimum wage should be tied to average rent in order to start a war between landlords and companies.

Out of curiosity. What are the other Reddit clones you’re talking about? I moved here because this is the reddit-like system I found first.

Yeah, that’s the “fun” part. I’m mostly on Jerboa (the Android app) and for some reason the search function doesn’t pick up all the communities. So for some things I’ve had to log on desktop if I wanted to find and subscribe to a community.

While I haven’t played it in a hot second, Dead Cells is one of my favorite rogue-likes and this is very exciting news.

I don’t watch much TV, but I’ll likely watch these since the episodes will be short.
