@beehaw.orgAre you in the new TestFlight Mlem launched a few days ago? Link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/MelFP11Y
Also check out wefwef.app, it’s a webapp you can install to your Home Screen and it’s fully featured and amazing.
It’s almost bizarre to me how fully featured and polished wefwef.app is. Really amazing.
Reddit is telling their community, their staff, and the media to all shut up. The very three groups they rely on for their continued survival. It’s breathtaking.
I don’t like exclusivity deals and platform fragmentation either, I think it’s anti-consumer. But to be fair I don’t think the Microsoft deal is just about that.
Microsoft’s market cap is something like 23x that of Sony’s; the reason they are in 3rd place is entirely down to mismanagement. It’s pretty typical for Microsoft to find themselves in this position in many of the markets they have chosen to occupy over the decades, and so they instead use their deep pockets to buy their way to being market leaders. Microsoft have a long history of using acquisitions to buy out or block competitors, to the detriment of the market.
We saw what happened when Microsoft got a whiff of success in the 360 era. The Xbox One was anti-gamer and anti-consumer, and it didn’t happen by accident: that’s straight out of Microsoft’s playbook.
The increased competition might be nice in the short term, but it gives Microsoft an opportunity to disproportionately influence the gaming industry for decades into the future imo.
Great to see. I recommended Mlem elsewhere and a Lemming start up with some anti-woke nonsense. It’s honestly baffling, most of us are just thrilled to see so many early Lemmy apps being developed and want to help out.
Who? Not the same body responsible for enforcement, which is a good start. Language in the article to me suggests they’re targeting obvious disinformation spread by bots and telling platforms they need to have processes in place to manage themselves internally - so would punish the likes of Twitter who have decided that anything goes (because it saves Elon money).
But not enough information at hand yet, so best to remain skeptical (but not conspiratorial).
