  • Microsoft can use its financial muscle to keep gamepass games free. This will push consumers to Microsoft even if the quality of the games isn’t the same as Sony.

    People don’t prioritize quality, we’ve seen this in the industry over and over, people prefer cheap prices. Which is why right now most of the products are shit, because people kept buying low quality for cheap. And the same will happen with Microsoft, most of the world would rather have free gamepass games for new games than having to wait years until they become available in Sony’s free tier.

    This is how Microsoft will penetrate the market. I already have friends moving to Xbox because it is cheaper. Microsoft isn’t a monopoly right now, but this is a long term play. Microsoft is a whale, Sony is a shrimp. Microsoft can kill Sony using its financial muscle, just like Walmart kills local competitors.










  • Yup. So there’s no way to federate on the community view?

    If I want to see content from c/gaming from multiple instances, I need to connect to each instance and browse the content on the community view.

    Would be nice if users could create view groups or some kind of abstraction. This is per client, so no need for instance admins to do anything about it, federation between instances is already established.

    For example, I could configure my Lemmy client to:

    • Enable same name federation on a per community basis. This means I could go to the c/gaming community of instanceA and say “show me federated content for all communities with the same base name from other federated instances”.

    • Create a “Custom Feed” in which I can say “I want to see these communities here”. So I could create a MyGaming custom feed and add local or federated communities that I consider relevant to a subject.

    Just ideas, I don’t think they are bad at all, would make Lemmy more comfortable and more abstracted from instances. It would also create a sense of cohesion between communities from different instances.



  • Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don’t see any place to ask this type of questions.

    I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn’t I see gaming communities from other instances?

    I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

    Isn’t general relativity just a way to interpret reality instead of what reality is?

    I mean, just a very accurate model of reality. But anything can be anything in any model, which is cool as long as the model has some kind of utility.

    (?)

    Or, are we accepting that objectively gravity is definetely not a force?

    And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn’t click bait or some shit. Be nice… remove the adblocker and reload.

    They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don’t kill their business if they have quality content.
