Counterargument: if you need narrower text, you can adjust the size of your browser window. If I want wider text, you’ve capped it.

This highlights a big problem of volunteer-run/not-for-profit social media. Moderation is hard and expensive and tedious. The next one good be sending CSAM. I hope the Lemmy leadership is moving fast and working with orgs that provide detection tools for this stuff.

imho this reflects a huge failure of the fediverse. Our accounts shouldn’t be tied to an instance that’s hosting content, they should be on a an auth-only server that only is responsible for managing our identity, separate from the content-servers. Then it would be up to content-servers to decide how much content they want to federate about an identity to show on that user’s profile-page on this particular content-server. Like either federating it right in (hey here’s @Pxtl’s profile/feed scraped from every fediverse server they use directly) or just autogenerating links to their content on other servers (we don’t want to host content from HowToBlowUpAPipelineLemmy.org on Lemmy.world but here’s a link to @Pxtl’s posts there).

Wouldn’t it be cool to have the same identity on Mastodon as on Lemmy?

Then you could continue to participate in the fediverse without creating a new user-account on every server. Of course, the auth servers would still be vulnerable to outage but since they’re lower load and just providing auth they’d be much less vulnerable.

I think it should be a thing, but only allowed to be created by the admins of the community that they can use for creating tech-support and modmin discussions and whatnot. Not for normal users to create.

Were any of the films good besides In The Beginning? I hated 3rd Space and Call to Arms. I don’t remember if I saw River of Souls.

Just started playing Tooth and Tail with some friends. It’s an arcadey gamepad-oriented furry indie RTS game. It draws obvious inspiration from Animal Farm and Secret of Nimh - it’s a bloody revolution in a furry pseudo-Russian setting, where the animals are fighting over the process by which they decide who gets eaten. The single player campaign is dark as hell and excellent. I played through the first two single player campaigns and had 3 other guys who’d never touched it were kicking my ass inside of an hour. Very easy to pick up, which is rare in an RTS.
