I don’t have any idea of who they are, but I don’t get it: we’re not preemptively defederating from Meta because it would be closed minded to do so (as per your admin decision), while Meta bad behavior is well documented (they’ve been fined by EU several times already), and we want to preemptively defederate from these people without even knowing how they will actually behave? Why? Shouldn’t they be “innocent until proven guilty”?

Sorry for those

It’s not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.

Good job!

Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don’t (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use “good old-fashioned” phone calls :D

Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)

Haha this is amazing :D

Oh didn’t know that, thanks!

I agree those arguments have no legal ground, but I don’t believe emulators are made with the primary purpose of circumventing protections, it’s just naive to think people wouldn’t use them for that purpose IMO.

Haha :D English is not my first language, if the wording is not correct or there’s a better way of saying it, I welcome any correction :)

Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo’s lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.

We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there’s nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve’s stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.

I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance

I’d like to know this too, because banning a community just because they don’t want to talk about something - and that apparently offended someone, while allowing other communities free rein over content that could offend someone, makes me confused about how the rules are actually applied.

The community that has been banned wasn’t discriminating people either, they were discriminating specific discussions. Where do we draw the line?

I never used Facebook not Twitter or Instagram, but I was very active on Reddit.

The key to a successful migration, in my opinion, is being involved enough in alternatives that you stop caring about your old mainstream accounts, that doesn’t happen in a day but it’s an ongoing process.

What I’m doing (in practice), I created my account here when the protest started, I took the time off reddit to search for alternatives to the subs I was in and actively participate in them, after a while I stopped caring about reddit, so much that I unsubbed from everything and I don’t even follow its news anymore.

I didn’t ditch reddit completely yet because there are a couple of niche subs that are not easily replaceable, so I still check those every now and then, but compared to how active I was before, I’m basically not contributing anything anymore.

It’s just a matter of time IMO before those niche subs will grow on the fediverse, I don’t know how long it’ll take but when it happens I’ll be done with reddit forever.

If you never played WoW before, I suggest you play the official one before dabbling with emulators/private servers, it’s a much better experience if you know nothing about the game.

WoW client is not native on Linux but it runs flawlessly regardless, always have, it’s also very easy to install with Lutris: https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/, use the battle.net script and follow instructions to install dependencies first.

Opensource yes, original impossible.

WoW server emulators have been in development for over a decade, they’re public projects on GitHub and released under opensource licenses, all private servers use those emulators, none of them has original code, it’s never been stolen.

You can compile them for Linux (as well as Windows), how well they work depends on the version, up to WoTLK they’re fine, from Cata on they’re quite bad.

You will need the original clients that are Windows only but they work flawlessly with WINE.

Most popular projects:

• TrinityCore
• AzerothCore
• CMangos

That’s only beehaw tho, it’s quite an unique community, it’s not representative of the “average” lemmy server.

I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn’t make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they’re federated with.

Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.

Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.

I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see

I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.

I see 4, none appear as removed.
