Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and “vibe”.
There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There’s a reason I’ve stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone.
As an aside, check out !specialized_instances@kbin.social if you haven’t already.
If someone’s email domain is @ihateminorities.com, I’d say that’s pretty fair grounds for blocking it.
There are some instances that actively promote hateful or extremist content, and exist for the purpose of hosting it. There are others that do not actively support that content but do allow it, anywhere, making blocking one community not enough. Defederation is an important tool and should be used wisely.
Me getting a notification I sold a trading card for 3 cents on the market
Lots of Valve stuff - Portal 1 / 2, the Half Life games, and Left 4 Dead 2 all go on sale for like a dollar very often. Team Fortress 2 is flat out free to play, if you’re willing to either pay like $2.50 for an item to unlock your account or put up with a bit of f2p bullshittery. Put almost 4000 hours into TF2, it’s my all time favorite game.
My standard advice to anyone new or returning - check out mastercomfig if you’re experiencing any performance issues or just want to squeeze out a bit better graphics from your setup. Thing’s a godsend.
Funny time to ask, a seasonal update just came out and the game apparently broke its peak playercount numbers.
If you are going to keep trying to avoid the actual point I’m making by conveniently refusing to read or acknowledge the post I’ve linked, then there’s nothing more to say.
…Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.
https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.
It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
You know, if that’s truly the only reason and it turns out I’m wrong I’ll gladly eat that L, and it would be a relief. I’ve just heard some iffy things specifically about it all.
EDIT: it’s stuff like this that I’m talking about.
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies
What does the ml stand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…
I only really wishlist games that haven’t come out yet that I’m interested in, to remind me to buy it when it comes out. Only about ten items on mine.
