Microsoft Has Too Much Goddamned MoneyIf they had enough to buy a company as big as Activision Blizzard, no one is off limits.https://www.dcgameblog.com/2022/01/microsoft-has-too-much-goddamned-money/#News #Videogames #ActivisionBlizzard #Microsoft #videogames #XboxGameStudios

@joel Seems like a lot of people are in wait and see mode. Others are creating backup accounts elsewhere, just in case. Still, most people will probably stick to Twitter, especially those who feel like they can't leave.

@joel Never gave it much thought. Definitely a good way to make backups. Our pfp is our husky mascot biting a PSP. We started the blog when the PSP was a thing, everyone on staff who games is fond of it.

@tilvids @peertube The only thing stopping us from considering PeerTube would be time and space. We basically use YT as an archive for our Twitch streams. Each video is 2-5 hours long, and YT is one of few spaces without lenth or video size limitations. At best these videos might get a handful of views.

@tilvids @peertube They average about 5-10GB per video.We will admit Google is convenient. Our main thing is writing articles. Streaming and VODs were just a value added thing for our audience. Though it's always good to have alternatives to the big corporate run products.

The big instance (m.s) has been our home since 2019. The notices of defederation and the bad decisions made by new mods here is making us reconsider staying. We are caught between wanting to migrate to a smaller instance or to wait and see if things improve. On that note, does anyone have suggestions for smaller, well-moderated general instances? While gaming is what we cover, we do get into other subjects as well. #Mastodon #Instance

The good news is we're returning to Final Fantasy IV. The bad news is that it's The After Years. We are finally in the home stretch! https://twitch.tv/damagecontrolblog #TwitchAffiliate #Twitch #livestream #FF4 #FinalFantasyIV #FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears #SquareEnix

The stream is over! Our suffering in the last chapter of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will continue, however. Tomorrow Magna will be playing Yoshi's Island, make sure to tune in. We kept the love going by raiding Paramixzeph who's playing LoZ: Majora's Mask for charity.You can find her stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/paramixzeph

@wjmaggos @BeAware Hard disagree with this. Way too many people (especially black people) have been driven off the Fediverse by abusive reply guys. They harass just enough to fly under admin action. Or those abusive replies don't get seen because of private replies.Other times you just want to say your piece without having to entertain everyone who demands a reply or making a followers only post. Besides, it's not like people on the Fediverse don't have other ways to call out disinformation.

@BeAware @wjmaggos Quote reply, where you link to their post and call it out. Screenshot their post to do the same, etc. You don't always have to directly reply to a person to call them out if they're spreading misinformation. Now that is more so warning others about that person.If you want to correct that person directly, provided they're not acting in total bad faith, you should still be able to @ or message them.Just tossing out some suggestions.

@wjmaggos @BeAware Quotes are not available on Mastodon, but they are available on other Fedi platforms. People on Mastodon can just link to a post's URL and reply above it effectively making it a quote post.Completely quashing abuse is difficult when everything is so decentralized for better or worse.But sometimes people just want to say their piece without having to entertain a bunch of replies or bad faith actors. Gonna have to agree to disagree on wanting everything to go viral.

@BeAware @wjmaggos Feels like people have been asking for quote posts for a while. Asking for limits seems newer. But one (and maybe it's just us) can hope that Threads doesn't federate. Didn't they block a bunch of instances on Mastodon including .social?On Misskey, do quote posts will work if someone makes a followers only post? Or is that just for public and unlisted posts?And understandable! We just wanted to also get our own thoughts out there for a feature we wouldn't use ourselves. 😅

@BeAware @wjmaggos Hmmm. Maybe someone at Threads realized it was a bad look? 😆 We've never used anything but Mastodon, but we've seen quote posts on other services. Comes out a bit weird looking if you follow from Mastodon though.Same. Best we can do is push back on it, the best we can. No matter what the tool looks like, unscrupulous people will try to see what they can get away with.We'll see when it comes out. We're still waiting on quote toots.
