I've overwritten and deleted all my comments and posts and nuked my account. This is my new home.
I asked some friends who know a lot about this situation about this and apparently this is fake news.
Direct quote of what they send me:
He didn't try to take over anything. The team behind PrivacyTools.io could not get in contact anymore with the domain owner and they haven't seen him for a long time and had some conflicts with him before that too. So the team decided to move on to a new name, they got the domain PrivacyGuides.org and were migrating everything for weeks. Then, in the end, when everything was already migrated and redirected, the PrivacyTools.io owner came back a while later and was extremely angry that the team had moved away from his infrastructure.
Jonah is hosting the new servers and had already been hosting stuff for PTIO before. The PTIO guy is still incredibly salty and made a new website with a long article about how Jonah is plotting to take over everything.
This new website also contains many bad recommendations that are sponsored and he now makes money from. I would consider PTIO very untrustworthy at this point. The entire original team behind it moved on as well...
Oh hey, awesome, thanks! Added it 😎
Oh this is a great classic.
Indeed, but I'm sure that with the current influx there will be much more focus on usability issues like this. Gotta take away the small bumps.
Pff I think this one is cooler 😎
Oh yessss 65DoS is so good. You might also enjoy 'God Is An Astronaut'! Pig Powder is a personal favorite.
To be honest it was mostly a combination of using the map editor and modding, similar to how Tactical Ops started out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_Ops:_Assault_on_Terror
Except I never released something besides playing my custom maps and mods on LAN parties with friends :D
Fun idea. I remember when Twitter was just new, many games added support for the Twitter API to automatically post when you got an achievement and such. That would be more fitting to Mastodon; but just as something that reads from a source to get an update feed, that would totally work.
That is awesome! Any public information about your project yet?
Rocks are cool indeed!
