Sorry, should have been more clear. It's always been my favorite, and adding this buff just pushes it over the top.

Railgun is my fav support weapon. This buff is insane.

What really shocked me is you can one shot Bile Titans now.

To be fair this is true. I have everything except one last ship upgrade.

Because f*ck Meta? Isn't that enough?

The thing is if you're going to be sharing the road with other vehicles, you need to ride predictably and communicate with other drivers/riders or you're just more likely to get yourself killed. Deciding to ignore a Stop sign is not predictable behaviour.

There are other sources besides the big mainstream ones, such as The Walrus, The Tyee, The Conversation, Rabble, Canadian Dimension, and others I'm probably forgetting.

It says it uses ActivityPub, so yes, interoperable. Though Mastodon has its own quirks and doesn't line up neatly with the protocol.

My main problem with live chat is its ephemeral nature. So you can end up having people asking the same thing that someone else asked but the previous answer is buried/lost. Forums are good because you can index and search.

Honestly a forum is much better than the endless stream of live chat that is basically Discord and Matrix, et al.

IRC > XMPP > Matrix > Discord.

Matrix is heavy. I ran my own instance once and it is very resource intensive (even using Dendrite) even if you have only joined a handful of rooms. XMPP chat gives most of the same things I need for chat and is much lighter but no one uses it (sadly). IRC deserves a mention for something that is rock solid and simple and will still be around after Matrix and Discord (if they ever end), however people can't post their meme pics or their emojis so it doesn't appeal to younger people.

Concerning Discord. I literally only made an account because I had classmates that made a server.

Why would you join when you can just follow the accounts that interest you on it from Lemmy or Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma/etc ???
