I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

Just made this for dinner with my girlfriend. Very easy, cheap, and most importantly delicious! Made some on the fly adjustments to the recipe (who doesn't), so it didn't turnout as photogenic as the pictures in the article, but overall 10/10. Anyone can make this. Thanks for the post!

This one almost seems intentional

lol I'm glad my post made its way around to you then.

I was referring to low admin interest. For example if you did allow a few users on your server, then you grew bored of it and shut it down, they would lose access to their accounts. But running a server just for yourself honestly sounds like the best option if you have the money for it.

NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I've seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.

I only have one lemmy account right now, but I'm definitely open to trying out other instances, I'm just not sure what the point is as long as you're not stuck on one that has been blocked by several others. I've subscribed to many communities across several instances. It seems to me aside from making sure you don't end up on a blocked server, you just want to make sure you pick a server that is in it for the long haul. From what I can tell you're also on sh.itjust.works, but have you tried making an account on any other servers?

Good point, I expect things to look very different a year from now. I'm honestly not sure if it will continue to grow or if its just a fad. I hope for the former.

I'm not too worried about getting banned. I plan to be a rather "average" person throughout the fediverse. I was a lurker for about 10 years on reddit, but I do want to be a more active contributor here. I'm going to try to respect each server's rules as best as I can and just avoid the ones I don't agree with.

I hadn't considered making my own instance for private use. Not sure if that was what you meant or not. But it may be the safest way of ensuring your data doesn't get lost. My worry with small servers is that who ever is running them might lose interest and shut down permanently. But if a server is too big, there may be disagreements that lead to de-federating. Thanks for the tips.

My main worry with smaller servers is that whoever is running them may lose interest and decide to shut down permanently. It does seem that the pros and cons tip in either direction as a server's population grows.

Yep totally wrong post lol. Sorry for the missing context, I was trying to reply to a thread about the use of emojis.
