  • Reddit took the time to get these communities going…

    Sure! But, in this case Lemmy is literally a federated copypasta of Reddit, like Madtodon is of X.

    Therefore, I think Lemmy is already a few steps ahead, due to the existing familiarity how communities/subs are supposed to be used.

    So it’s not we’re starting from scratch… It’s just getting rid of the annoyances of Reddit.

    Take Mastodon/BlueSky as an example. People are already familiar withbthe concept of how to use it.















  • I do agree with the part where software moves, dependencies yada, yada… I’m a developer myself.

    But… this is different. They eliminated a perfectly working game, where they didn’t have to invest a minute of labor to get it working on Linux. The only thing they had to provide was the .so-file (for EAC) when publishing to Steam… Valve did all the work to make EAC compatible on Linux, yes, on user-level… but still… it fucking worked.

    Punishing an entire userbase, because other assholes (assumably) used Linux for cheating is discrimination. Even if there were no cheaters at all… it’s still discrimination… because it used to fucking work.
