Not as comprehensive as Facebook Groups.
Facebook strength is having big community from Asia and Africa. While fediverse is mostly Westerner (and isolated Japanese). Unless people from those continents move here in huge wave, I don’t think Facebook will get replaced.
Mastodon is not valid recommendation for them, as these people doesn’t even use Twitter or even hates them.
…and Facebook Groups.
A lot of people simply don’t realize that a lot of traditional community, especially more niche are moving to Facebook. There’s no even Reddit alternative for them.
From fried chicken cooking, big tree photography, McDonalds toys collector, to local history archiver.
It’s harder to convince them here, unless there are Facebook Group alternative for fediverse.
To be fair, MS Paint (and other Paint-alike) software shape tools is barebone. No NDE and just direct to canvas/layer. (which perfectly fine for its scope)
Using select tools to make shape is not actual Shape tools.
As I stated previously, GIMP developers list Shape Tools in the roadmap.
Also, why not use those programs you listed instead, if GIMP isn’t getting the job done.
Hoping our tool to be more capable is just a normal thing. I want GIMP to be the best image editor, I want Krita to be the best painting and animation software, and so on.
Wrong.
“GIMP is a cross-platform image editor … Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done.” - gimp.org
Shape tools is a universal basic tool for any software that handle some sort of image creation or addition.
Photo editing, general image editing, painting software, page layout design, vector design, PDF editor, all of them have one.
Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Photopea, Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, … all of them have shape tools.
Heck, even Microsoft Excel and Word even have one.
EDIT: Shape tool is planned, not yet WIP. Source: GIMP Roadmaps
Majority of area in the world does not recognize it as negative thing.
Even for English, English itself is diverse language. Singaporean English, Indian English, Asian English, definitely not negative in all of them.
Forcing one standard of language as a universal is a bad precedent for language diversity.
Even if people know fediverse, if the content they want doesn’t exist here, they won’t stay.
There are Japanese Twitter refugee to fedi (especially Misskey) several times. A lot of big creator doesn’t stay as they want to get the highest number of engagement to keep their (art) business afloat.
Give us good yuri manga recommendation 👀
The chances are some new foundation/non-profit will be created to fund its development.
It’s either gonna be great like other community-oriented project (like FreeCAD, Blender, or KDE), or corporate-centric that prioritize industry needs (O3DE, OvertureMaps).
Though, there’s Servo and Libweb as potential future replacement. Servo is managed by Linux Foundation Europe. Libweb is managed by Ladybird Browser Initiative and so far have structure like other community FOSS project, like Blender or Godot.
Misskey is like “the default” fediverse software for Japanese and (Asian) ACG (Animation-comic-games) communities.
This side of fediverse is relatively big, but almost their community rarely reach out Western fediverse mostly due to language and law-related stuff. They have unique photography, online comic market, and and various creative centric community that rarely found on mainstream Western fediverse.
In fact, before Mastodon.social, the biggest fediverse instance is Japanese – Pawoo.net. At that time, it was managed by Pixiv (Japanese equivalent of DeviantArt), but later sold to random corpo, the moderation collapse, and now abandoned by its community.
Those stuff doesn’t even seem remotely same tho, different type of design style.
All kawaii FOSS logos are common Akiba-kei moe logo style.
As far as I know, those stuff only available in African countries and India. Not Indonesia.
Lemmy.id For other active fedi instance: fedi.my.id (Mastodon), Misskey.id (mostly tech and ACG culture)
The problem is that they keep updating 15 years old game, on top of old codebase.
Usually, live service game are developed in a way that it codebase can withstand with time and continuous feature addition. Minecraft is not. At least not for 15 years old of continous development.
Almost all newer voxel games are more efficent and flexible, notable example: Vintage Story.
Fediverse promotion in some part in third world country (including mine) is hard.
Most people just want free and easy access to the web with their existing account
There used to be Lemmy Indonesia as well. Just like almost all Indonesian fediverse instance, all of them are dead (except Misskey and that new Mastodon instance barren of any user).
He already said publicly multiple times that what he his edgy joke in the past is wrong. We should embrace people progress into a better individual, right?
All of his content in the past five years after that incident also all wholesome or positive stuff. No more edginess or even slur.
He’s basically a classic trait of toxic gamer, making a racist remarks towards everyone. He was never a nazi in the first place.
Back when he did Hitler joke stuff, he instantly got backlash from his own community. He recognized the mistake and stopped doing it again.
I can assure you, these people are often doing it for banter or just for edginess. Never actually hates people.
I’m from SEA region, and people in SEA online gaming community did this all the time. Mocking each other ethnic groups or nationalities, while not actually hating each other, except for small minorities of course. Making Hitler joke, N-word, and other local edgy jokes.
Not saying this is a good thing.
Again, even his fans constantly asking him to do better all the time. And he’s now a better person.
I recommend to check his video about 100 days art journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDtQTTAogk It’s one of high-regarding art journey video that even contantly get shared and reacted among art community.
He made that as a waful joke, to the point even his fans also asking him to stop making those edgy jokes. He used to make N-word or any edgy joke because he was toxic gamer mentality. I remember seeing a total backlash on Pewdiepie official subreddit.
After the incident, he stopped making any edgy jokes. All of his content in the past half decade are basically wholesome or hobbyist stuff. He also recognize his mistake on several occasion.
Any social media technically host the same variation of people. It can be good or bad depends of your social circle and what kind of people you follow. Even fediverse has its own bubble of hostile people.
