If that were true, then the software wouldn't have the ability to defederate built directly into it in the admin panel. You could write software in a way where defederating from a specific instance is hard to do.
IMO the point of any open source software is the noone really has ownership over what "the point" of it is. Anyone can take that software and use it how they see fit.
I went to donate but didn't want to give my credit card number to a random website. I'd feel way better about it if there was a PayPal option.
But I can make you lose the game.
Yes there is. That would be against the rules. Duh.
Maybe it's because I ejected the default subs out of my list a long time ago, but I haven't gotten downvotes for it at all
For anyone keeping score at home this is exactly the sort of thing I'm taking about. Like, this comment hits pretty much all of the general devices I outlined.
I'm honestly kind of thankful to you for providing such a clear and illustrative example. Gratz.

The Expanse has a whole b-plot about an artificial ecosystem going through cascade failure in one of its arcs.
Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.
After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it's amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I'm basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.
I'm also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.
Do you all have a home community? This was something I always wanted to look into doing on Reddit but never made the time.
The Outer Wilds. IMO, non-violence-based gameplay design is an underexplored space, especially in 3-D games. The Outer Wilds manages to feel like a fully-fledged game, rather than a traditional walking simulator, using exploration as it's core gameplay loop.
Further, it's main progression system is you, the out-of-game player, learning about the world. There's no abilities you gain or keys you have to find. You unlock new areas, not as a programmed game mechanic, but as a function of reasoning about what you've discovered and gaining insight into how the game world works. Any playthrough could be beaten in about 15 minutes -- there's nothing physically blocking you from triggering the end of the game -- but it takes you 15 hours or so of flying around the solar system to accrue the necessary insight to get there.
It's really a special game.
