  • Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I’ve been checking to see if it’d go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I’m guessing it isn’t likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven’t wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs






  • I always think about the post I saw a while back that was like “I use KeepassXC, a fork of KeepassX, a port of Keepass”. That seems very likely to be true in regards to the fediverse as well.

    But I think that’s great, as a contributor to one platform I don’t necessarily see it as “one software above all”, which might be bad to say, but more like we’re all sailing on the much larger ship Fediverse, and it’s been great to see so much back and forth between the different ones, for example one person helping get pixelfed’s avatars federating, or piefed’s blogs, which helped reduce page load sizes for mbin by 40%. It’s quite possible we’re all just slowly contributing to a lot of learned lessons for a yet unstarted software.

    All that said, mastodon does have a ton of staying power, as you said. Once they fully support groups, and lemmy has stated they never plan to support microblogs, it’s quite possible that mastodon will be a very solid experience for most of what people are looking for.




  • They could, yes. Afaik no extra work was needed on lemmy’s side once Mbin changed to report moderators in the same manner (aside from some kind of activity which triggered a refresh of the data)

    However, looking at peertube, it looks like they already are using the attributedTo field for the group with a person, which is different from the FEP. For the channel you link in the OP specifically:

    "attributedTo": [
      {
        "type": "Person",
        "id": "https://tilvids.com/accounts/thelinuxexperiment"
      }
    ]
    

    It’s possible PeerTube could change to make a /moderators endpoint and respond with that as the FEP suggests, or Lemmy and other software to change to accept this array of actor types instead. I’m not sure who decides these things or if there is an evangelist for FEPs, It’s possible this was already discussed on the peertube github as well, I didn’t look through all the past issues as there are quite a lot
