  • Yeah, it just doesn’t really exist yet. I’m not sure a really well-moderated community for news content can exist yet on Lemmy, due to the culture that’s slowly springing up, but if it did it’d have to be on a dedicated instance, I expect - one with a very, very dedicated set of moderators with relatively strict rules regarding what is sufficiently-well-sourced content, and all other communities on the instance being held up to the same bar in their specific niches in order to encourage that kind of posting culture.

    Honestly, I don’t think Reddit ever achieved a really good result either - the news subreddits were all dumpster fires to varying degrees - but Lemmy’s immaturity worsens the issue here, I think. It’s pretty appallingly obvious. I’d look elsewhere for news opinion aggregation, for the time being.










  • It feels like the hype for this game already died a year or two ago… let alone lasting five more years. There’s nothing wrong with ensuring quality by having longer development cycles, but a nearly twenty year gap? They dropped the ball hard on maintaining momentum. Even worse, that means they’ll be courting additional delays due to the usual hiccup of entering a new console generation and potentially having to tinker with the game engine mid-development…




  • I really like the idea of being able to show off various engines and frameworks. I feel like that’d actually feed in well to the fact it’s being planned on this platform, as different communities can chip in to show off their engines of choice.

    Also, I’d suggest.making this a somewhat longer jam (one or two weeks), to give people ample time to share their progress and such before final submissions.
