I shamelessly use Linux Mint with Cinnamon pre-installed. I imagine my experience is closer to the classic Windows experience than Windows 11 right now lol.

[Shams Charania] The NBA is suspending Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant for 25 games, sources tell The Athletic in c/nba@lemmy.world

100%, this dude was straight up gassing up the suspension, reminding everyone every game that they didn't want to reveal the suspension to take away from the finals.

In the end it's 25 games. At least it's not retroactively applied like the last suspension?

r/Apple mods cave to spez’s threats and open the sub back up in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

I honestly don't understand. Reddit hasn't ever treated their mods well and will never pay them. I only see upside to going down with the ship lol

You can "vote" against Reddit by not using it ;)

Are the diablos any good? in c/patientgamers@lemmy.ml

If you're into character progression, and loot, then you'll love Diablo. The loot system is great and really draws you in to playing more.

The art and ambiance is also amazing, and from what I can tell Resurrected is pretty faithful to the original.

There are some rough parts (like stamina, chugging potions, etc) given the age.

The branding for kbin is perfect (kbin.social)
 

The branding for kbin is perfect for capturing the reddit migrators. The biggest friction point for the Fediverse is choosing an instance. If I want to join Lemmy, googling Lemmy takes me to a landing page with no join button, telling me to go to these other sites. Some of these sites even actively discourage signups, creating so many places for a new user to churn.

Also, see the cases where the admins of a few Lemmy instances act badly: now the brand of every other instance is tarnished.

If I want to join kbin, I go to kbin, and I signup. How easy is that? I personally think this is why kbin has been getting a lot of traffic compared to Lemmy instances, and this benefit is lost when other kbin instances begin popping up.

In my opinion, it makes way more sense to market the instances individually rather than as a whole. Federation can be discovered at the users own pace, instead of being the main draw which will always be the content hosted. This does add a bit of a prisoner's dilemma, but I do think it would end up benefitting the ecosystem as a whole.
