better to just keep growing slowly rather than having massive capital and quick improvements only to be killed later by Meta.

there are instances in the past where big players acquire the small ones and while at first they seem to be cooperative, it ultimately destroys the small players, one such case is XMPP the open chat protocols long before we have Matrix, killed by Google

I guess this is a cautionary action, better to grow slower rather than be killed by Meta.

When you're not sure if a post is good or not so you gotta check with the hivemind

I kinda sorta getting used to kbin, lemmy, mastodon and such, but peertube is a different beast altogether. I still have no idea how to find videos

there's workaround but it's a pain in the ass... https://www.myabandonware.com/game/sid-meier-s-civilization-ii-453

basically

1. the game use old .bin disk file, you must convert it to .iso
2. mount the .iso
3. run the setup.exe to install Civilization II

also the reason you can still find a dialogue window from like Win95 lol, people often whine how Windows doesn't look as pretty as MacOS, but I think that's just the price for crazy backwards compatibility.

if they remove those old elements, I'd bet people are gonna rage about how their old games or software no longer work.

though that's the whole point of reddit ? if you don't like a community, just make a new one. Like people feel like r/childfree is too aggressive, so they make r/truechildfree

lol, I witnessed that historical moment, essentially r/worldnews become a wild west where any post is acceptable, and it's all 50/50 NSFW, you either get a naked lady or a butthole, while r/anime_titties are the proper sub for world news..
