It can go either way… What kind of game do you want to make?

Focus on your core vision

Devs are the creators… What the public gets is down stream from their work

I like this concept. Make federation easy and practical for devs

No thank you???

That’s an idiotic take. Do you think the average psychologist is equipped with that level of emotional intelligence? Not even one in twenty

The benefit is less distractions and pointless organization for a project in the early stages

Open sourcing things is a pain in the ass. It’s common to get the core project working before doing so

How’d you know it was Samsung? Honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Samsung laptop even through a screen

While this is absolutely also true, I’m talking about the people who openly advocate for orphan crushing for the sake of orphan crushing

It’s consultants. Consultants that advise both the investors and the corporations.

It’s why they cut office snacks. It’s why we have return to office. It’s why they keep doing waves of layoffs. It’s why everything must be a subscription.

The consultants tell the investors shrinkflation is so hot right now. They tell the companies to do shrinkflation. If they don’t, the board gets upset you’re not listening to the expensive consultants. If you do, the stock price jumps, even though you just lost customers, and you get to blame the consultants if it doesn’t work

It’s a very stupid system, McKinsey is probably the worst offender if you want to do some further reading

Not even that… Kids do it IRL, because they hear it so much online

It’s so invasive too… Hearing kids self censor for advertisers, like “unalive” or “pew pew” is deeply disturbing

Our language is being artificially pushed towards Corpo-speak

I’m split, but I lean slightly towards no. On one hand, it could be good for discoverability, and it would help my efforts to make a client-side algorithm

On the other hand, it will make one of Lemmy’s problems worse - engagement. Some people will vote less, and it’s already feeling a little quieter around here as the numbers settled after the Reddit Exodus. I doubt it’ll be a massive change, but a .5% decrease in voting, permanently, could make a difference

Ultimately, you can see it on federated platforms, so shrug
