  • I didn't know this was a thing, but I love it. HoMM3 was one of my all time favorites and have logged a ton of hours in it on Windows.

    not sure how relevant this is to your interests, but there was a boardgame version on kickstarter recently: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/archonstudio/homm3boardgame.

  • are we calling major label releases indie now? hmm.

  • What is your least favorite PC game in your favorite franchise?
  • Halo: Infinite. Why oh why did they have to give Spartans cat ears?

  • What RSS feed application do you use?
  • I'm a happy feedbin user too. Using NetNewsWire on my iOS devices for reading, and the Feedbin web app on Windows. I love it!

  • Unofficial Subreddit Migration List (Lemmy, Kbin)
  • yeah, I haven't found the right syntax for linking to external communities. It looks like @ community/magazine @ server.name should work, but it's not getting the links right.

  • edit: Bah! What is the correct format to link to communities / magazines on other servers? Will update when I figure it out.

  • Is it okay to lurk reddit without engaging?
  • I'm not using it because I don't want to contribute to their Daily Active User count, a metric that will absolutely be used leading up to their IPO. If that goes down due to their bad decisions, it will be worse for them.

    but you do you.

  • Ripples Through Reddit as Advertisers Weather Moderators Strike
  • it's in "adweek". A publication about advertising. They only care about content as a thing to monetize.

  • What do you care about most in an online community?
  • These are all good.

    Having seen a few subreddits get taken over by tyrannical mods, I’d like to see some kind of active oversight, or meta moderation. Not sure how that could be implemented. Maybe a voting consensus built into the sub / magazine / community.

    Activity and the user experience are both important. Variety too. Special Interest Groups are important.

    Region focused communities are another area that deserve attention, though they could be served by geographically based instances.
