how is that a boomer opinion?
No relation between them. Literally zero, aside from the name. The Prey from 2017 is only called that for marketing reasons.
Diablo is a much more approachable game, more casual, more streamlined. It's much less complicated than PoE
There's a thread of replies arguing on the semantics of communism, name-dropping stuff like Krause and Nomad (willfully ignoring the fact that FaceDeer's issue is about LemmyGrad and not communism), and repeating "you've chosen to engage with me" while this is very obviously the other way around.
I have the cheapest Hetzner VPS (it's less than 5€/mo iirc), and I run a few self-hosted services on it. I'll try to install Lemmy this week just to see, but I don't doubt it will work without any issue.
I'm probably not going to open it to registrations tho, not really the kind of stuff I want to manage.
What’s to stop someone from impersonating another user on a different instance?
Mastodon can have (has?) the same problem. This is somewhat solved with the self-verification process though, so it could be done similarly on Lemmy.
I guess one will eventually “prevail” and become the defacto instance for that community
Fore niche-y communities, probably. For more generalized ones (like "gaming"), I can see several communities evolve in parallel, each with its own culture and preferred content.
I'm playing on my Steam Deck like I was playing on my Switch 6 years ago. I prefer my indie games on handheld devices, so a good half of my playtime is spent on the Deck.
Well when you host your own website with your own funds, you try to not pay for unneeded perfs. But then a few hundreds people join, register, create content, upload images and videos, and suddenly your small VPS can't handle the load. And you're hesitant to scale up because it costs money, sometimes it costs time too because you need to migrate stuff, and maybe in a few days (or a few hours?) that load will disappear and now you're on a more expensive tier for nothing.
No idea how long it takes to make 1L of almond milk, but if it's literally blending and straining, that's not really comparable to cooking or baking where half the enjoyment is in the process.
Lawns are stupid anyway. Grow some berries, plant flowers, anything but a boring useless lawn.
