You can definitely go outside, just try it

Oh, I got kind of carried away there I guess, well played ;)

No, it’s absolutely not??? Mastodon is the most active community in the Fediverse with the most accounts and is most well known in the gerall public.

Are you delusional?

What part about Mastodon is terrible if I may ask?

That’s not true at all. There are still a lot of great indie games if you look behind the curtain a little bit.

Don’t be so pessimistic, because that will truly ruin gaming. Just support indie devs, that are still committed to making great games in a human way. And believe me, there are still a lot of them out there.

What about Mastodon??

I mean, there is Nebula, wich seems to be the exact thing you are looking. There are also a mit of great creators on there and if you get a discount (pretty mich every crestor on there has a 40% off discount link), you get it from 30 dollars a month.

That’s an awesome idea! I think, this would be awesome to be able to play single player games with your friends!

But I do have to mention, that your cool project get’s slightly ruined by the AI generated banner on your GitHub page. Is that really necessary?

Thank you so much for making this though! Your creativity and dedication is exactly what makes the open source community so great!

Yeah, that sucks. But there still is Aurora Store , where you can get it

Jup, that should work

I mean there is Waterfox, which is avaible on desktop as well as on Android. There is also the Zen browser, which is amazing for Desktop. Both theese browsers are fully FOSS and have explicitly positioned themselves against AI (Statement from Waterfox and Statement from Zen). And the great thing is, basicly all Firefox forks can easily sync interoperably and end to end encrypted thanks to Firefox Sync, so you could use Zen Browser on the desktop and sync it with Waterfox on your phone.

AI slop

Just because you’re not a big company doesn’t mean, that that is not stealing.

And yeah, a lot of independent artists works are being scraped and yes, they are struggling, have you ever talked to one?

Name one example

Well, your entire argument is based on very vague anecdotal observations and you didn’t mention any concrete examples, so arguing against your points feels kind of pointless.

What were the exact things you said on which communities, that got you “dogpiled”?

And please just be honest, you are not some kind of politian trying to win a debate by any means possible, I see this more as a conversation.

I would say, Lemmy (or the Fediverse in general is just like real life. You can say anything you want, but don’t expect anyone to invite you to their party or talk to you, if you are being an jerk.

Meaning, that noone can ban you from Lemmy for anything you say. But they certainly can ban you from their own instance and / or not federate with an instance, you are on if they don’t like what you say.

Also, as a general word of advice, just be a decent, nice person and you’ll probably be fine. Online or offline. A major idea of the fediverse is to imagine and be part of a better world and if we engage with each other respectfully, everyone is better off.

Just because you are free to way whatever you want, doesn’t mean, that anybody has to listen or agree with you. If people don’t agree with your opinion and they let you know it, they are exercising their own freedom of speech.

And also, nobody owes you to platform your beliefs uncritically. Either you find a community, that wants to engage with you (and you talk to the other communities that wanna engage with your community) or you create your own community (and yeah, that could cost you a small amount of money and time). My point is, you can’t just expect people to let you use the resources that they pay for to platform opinions that they find harmful enough to not wanna talk to you again. Saying that someone banning someone from their community is impeading on your free speech is just like complaining that someone didn’t invite you to their party because you insulted them.

It’s not AI, just look at the linked artist’s profile. This is definetely from an actual artist.

I think your comparison to slavery is a bit overblown and minimizes the tragedy of actual slavery. But I agree with the sentiment.

I think it looks cool to be honest, why not?
