I really enjoy this game, but the AI can range from tactical genius to “stand still while being shot”.

Still, a solid 7/10 and worth it for cheap.

I would counter and suggest that Lemmy implements a “default block” system that admins can set on their instance, i.e. the 3 you’ve mentioned, plus any others they want. When the account is created, the default blocks are applied (either instance or communities or ideally flexibility to add both).

Users can then choose to unblock these if they want to engage with that content without moving instance.

While portability is kind of a feature of the lemmyverse, your posts don’t come with you so likely people wouldn’t want to move off the “default” instance, which would create another problem with centralized instances.

In X4 you can walk around on ships and stations, jump in other ships etc. It’s very limited though, which is a shame.

The gameplay is fantastic though, you could lose days building an empire.

Hey, mods can set their own RSS feeds with the bot, so it’s a question for @[email protected] :)

We do the same with converting everything to webp, so i don’t think it’s that. I’d be happy to share my pictrs config with you on matrix?

Do you see any errors in your pictrs logs too?

Hey, are you using image proxying? I’ve had no end of issues with it

Thanks Blaze!

I really do appreciate this every time 😂

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Blaze, always appreciate the support <3

Thank you for the points and the insight - I do agree with what you’re saying, and I’ll bear that in mind. My absolute priority is to build an admin team that compliment the ethos of the site, and in that vein to continue on with how we currently run it.

Unfortunately Lemmy doesn’t allow us to split the SysAdmin from the site moderation stuff, which would be on my wishlist for the future of development, but our back-end stuff is certainly structured like that.

However, I do need to look to the future and make sure there is sufficient technical skill if I were to be hit by a bus tomorrow, and so it is something I need to weigh up.

One of things I’d like to do is build/train a level of redundancy into the admin team, so that if one person leaves or cannot continue for whatever reason, there is someone who can instead step in to fill the gap. Like you’ve highlighted, some teams can become too reliant on one person for their skills and I don’t want to end up in that position in the long term.

Unlike some other servers, we’re looking for people that support the current community culture and uphold the rules, and not instead change the rules to fit people 😊

Yeah, please let me know if you see any. I do look out for them but they do crop up on random websites

Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, meta and X are a cesspool without moderation or a thought for the users wellbeing, and deserve tidying up. But it’s going to kill spaces where people can express themselves, and drive UK users underground.

Now would be a good time to start a VPN business targeted to UK users. Actually…

If anyone takes advantage of this - absolutely watch Severence

If you’re using cloudflare you can block counties via that.

I’m also in the UK and run an instance - the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing. The stuff that actually mattered hadn’t even been released by OFCOM last time I bothered looking, such as the risk assessment.

I guess we’ll know more when they release the guidance on age verification - that will be what kills most sites off if they insist its required for all social media

It is done, let me know if it works for you now :)

I should be able to bypass the proxy for domains where it doesn’t work - I’ll add tenor.com to the list. It requires a lemmy restart so it will take a little while until I can ssh in and sort it.

If you see any other broken images please let me know and I’ll add them to the bypass list.

I’ll also see if there are any github issues if it’s a lemmy thing or not.

Yeah, geoblocking myself doesn’t sound the smartest idea, luckily VPNs exist and i can look into other ways to bypass it. I think I need to do an admin recruiting session as well.

We are actually hosted in Finland at the moment, but this law affects me as a UK citizen providing services to other UK citizens. A few ideas have been brought up that I’m going to look into around moving lemmy.zip as an entity outside the UK, or refusing service to people in the UK.

Unfortunately it’s not really clear at the moment. I’m hoping it will cover us, and by enforcing our T&cs we’re fine. However they may be requesting age validation. At least making it 18+ puts us in the right direction for now, and worry about the rest in the new year. There will be some way around it.
