Anyone having issues with Lemmy self hosting? - Lemmy.World

My main account is [email protected] [[email protected]]. However, as of roughly 24-hours ago it seems like the server has stopped properly retrieving content from lemmy.world. It’s been running smoothly for well over 9 months, and (I think) working fine for content coming in from other instances. So I’m curious if anyone else experienced anything strange with lemmy.world federation recently?

RuneScape creator reveals new MMO 10 years in the making - Lemmy.World

(Partial rant) Why are gaming communities for multiplayer games so often filled with toxicity? Why aren't game developers doing more to stop this? - Lemmy.world

There are plenty of multiplayer games I adore. However, it seems like every community has these “brain dead”, patronizing, or out right toxic elements that are just nasty. I’d rather debate politics than make suggestions in some gaming communities because the responses are just so … annoying. As an example, I once dared to suggest that a game developer implement a mode to prevent crouched status from rendering on death cams so that players that are bothered by t-bagging could avoid it (after a match where a friend rage quit because someone just kept head shotting him – possibly with cheats – and then t-bagging). This post got tons of hate, and like -50 upvotes on reddit because of course someone should be forced to watch someone t-bag them. Another example is forum posts. I made a forum post suggesting Bungie use Mastodon (or really just something else being my intent)… The response I got was some positivity but mostly just “lol nobody uses that sweetie” and other patronizing comments. Meanwhile studios themselves often seem to be filled with developers that understand this stuff is a problem, and the lack of sportsmanship (or generally civilized attitudes) does push away players. It just doesn’t make sense to me that no studio is saying “get lost” to these elements or implementing anti-toxicity features. I just want to play games with nice normal people, is that really so much to ask?

What are your thoughts on Wren, a for profit allegedly acting like a not profit? - LemmyWorld

I’ve seen Wren [https://www.wren.co/] time and time again and I’m wondering what people think of it? Do you think there’s merit to the “for profit, for public good company” vs the traditional non-profit?
