~~I get a 404 error when I try to view that community from my home instance, but it definitely exists… I suspect it’s because the community has no posts at the time I’m writing this, maybe federation doesn’t work without any?~~

A “gotcha” I just discovered: even though the selector uses radio buttons (which usually means you can only choose one), this is a multi-select list. So if you don’t also choose English (and/or other languages you understand), you’ll miss content that does have a language tag.

Designing UI ain’t easy.

Maybe so. But I’ve watched a few other videos on YouTube today picking apart the new trailer, and it looks like the C:S2 base game will launch with several of the features that came later in C:S1’s life. I definitely wouldn’t blame anyone who chooses to wait and see based on their own gameplay preferences, of course! But I have a strong suspicion that many folks (myself included) will quite enjoy the new game even if the experience is less deep or complex to start with. 😄

You make a fair point, but if the replies to a Lemmy post are overtly hostile, I see that as a failure of moderation rather than of the system itself. Twitter has long been an “almost anything goes” sort of place and was never purposely designed for community-oriented discussions. It’s a microblogging site with discussion features grafted onto it — way back in the day, the Tweet box literally asked “What are you doing?” and there was no reply function so people posted their own “top-level” (there was no other kind) Tweets along the lines of .@user_xyz “Lorem ipsum dolar” My opinion is blah blah blah but that wasn’t automatically shown next to user_xyz’s Tweet for all to see.

Also, I’m not certain of this, but I think displaying downvotes without enabling them would require a software patch. I also suspect it would be confusing to many users and lead to a lot of bug reports.

I’d never heard of Odysee before. Ignorance was bliss. 🤦‍♀️ I’ll stick with Nebula, thanks.

Love and solidarity. You deserve better than you’ve had, I hope you find it.

I prefer not having downvotes enabled here. Instead of just downvoting your suggestion, I’m having to actually think about why and put it into words and contribute to the discussion. 😉

Downvoting usually impacts marginalized people far more than “idiots”. (Side note: this sort of casual ableism against people with mental disabilities is extremely common, but we can strive to do better.)

That’s part of the purpose! 😆 Many people (including my past self) tend to leave their wrists on the wrist rest while typing, causing the wrists to angle upward and create unnecessary strain. Though not everyone, of course.

I don’t have experience with either, but I find a keyboard tray with negative tilt very helpful ergonomically. (That is, the space bar is elevated relative to the F-keys, in contrast to the “normal” tilt of keyboards.) It’s far easier for me to keep my wrists in a neutral position with one. It might be a great compliment to a split keyboard if you opt for one.

Bury them in legal filings and make life miserable, probably. 😞

Not sure what recent news you mean, but Telling Lies and Her Story are intriguing stories to piece together for sure.

Wait, GOG is doing a pride month thing? I haven’t paid attention to them since they decided trans erasure was fun to joke about, have they actually changed since then or is this just marketing nonsense?
