The problem is that moderators here and on reddit (i believe?) are volunteers, so they are going to have personal limits on what they'll accept. And if they can't have those, they won't do it. Someone else will have to volunteer for an unpaid position that can take up lots of their precious time on this earth.

Start a mod fund and pay people, is my suggestion. The only rewards at the moment for moderating are, like, a smoothly running community. Tiny, mostly irrelevant power. Being a big fish in a small pond. Personal satisfaction? You can get that being treasurer at your local beading club, but there you get to mess around with beads. I dunno.

As for making different platforms, there also has to be someone willing to do that work. Mostly thankless, and you'll always get it wrong somehow. I'm amazed anyone bothers.

I'm not really confused by them commissioning music. I've seen like, murals and so on in airports. I also like the idea of using recordings of background noise to make a track. It's the idea of playing ambient airport noises in an airport that confuses me. But that's art, I suppose. Something to think about. I don't think me being confused by the thought process here - knowing very little about the theory being ambient music - is a sign of the death of an empire. There's plenty of those around.

All items are clothes if you're imaginative enough?

Game cube, if I'm remembering right.

It feels like companies like this eventually become vehicles for like 5 people to make lots of money. You can't let go the guy making these mistakes - lining his pocket is the purpose of the company! It'd be ridiculous to fire him! Unless some of the other 4 people making money decide he's keeping them from lining their pockets.

It's valuable for .ml to have duplicates since certain instances and numerous individuals are defederated from them. There are also people who are trying to diversify the fediverse by moving communities off .world. Big, opinionated communities like the different news communities are going to spawn new versions as people disagree with mod decisions or the background culture and feel they can't have the conversations they want.

Some splitting is inevitable, imo, and healthy, though whether it's good in this or that particular case is a useful conversation to have. Merging communities is also useful, but only when it makes sense (one is barely moderated or barely used, or people have defederated from an instance one is on because of spam, etc.)

I think it's a case by case basis type situation.

Raft was kind of interesting, and chill if you turn off "sharks keep attacking for some reason" mode.

I watched someone play Satisfactory and they had a blast.

Dinkum was fun and not stressful, but the characters have big heads and it's got some typical farming life sim elements that were inspired by harvest moon and animal crossing.

Is Coral Island too anime in style?

Modern quality of life upgrades make it so hard to go back. There was a harvest moon game i adored and i tried to replay it, but just changing tools was a pain.
