They've followed through on their promises so far, and you can actually self-host pretty much the whole stack today:

I'd perfer for mastodon to take off personally, but really at this point both are good options and worlds better than twitter.
possumpat.io is the instance this community is hosted on. It's a (bad) domain name joke๐
We're set on moderators for now, though thanks for your interest.
Welcome! It's a bit slow around here compared to reddit but the vibes are chill. ๐
I love cbu3 leaning into the Phoenix as their mascot, glad we're finally getting the coil version as a mount.
That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there's almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I've been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.
I hope they never stop producing these, I need a full shelf of xiv lore.
Thanks for the reply. I've been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren't constantly on top of things.
As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance's stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don't allow. I wouldn't think you'd want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.
Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?
Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the "hardcore" crowd into their own community, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
The REAL real tragedy would be losing r/shitpostxiv ๐คฃ
Keep em coming!
ULTRAKILL is the most fun I've had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it's super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you're good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.
Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Something about the isometric/top-down ARPG genre has never clicked with me, and I really can't figure out why. I've tried torchlight, every diablo (except 4), path of exile - I end up bouncing off of them after a week or so and just lose interest.
It makes even less sense when you consider I can sink 300+ hours into Souls/Elden Ring or Xenoblade... Something about the format just doesn't work for me, I guess.
You can run your own relay, though:

I do prefer Activitypub overall, and it's certainly more mature, but any efforts towards decentralization should be encouraged/celebrated.
