Respectfully, i disagree. If a person’s main instance defederated from an instance that was set up for a specific game, their main instance is likely doing so for ethical reasons/whim of admins.

If a user of that main instance has values that match with the mission of the instance they will either,

a) not want to be federated with the game instance in the first place, b) only align with a majority of the instance’s values and occasionally need an alt to access places defederated from, or c) find a new main since the one they chose is too restrictive for them.

I agree that having alts is annoying. Ideally, there will be options enough for users to find a main instance that they’re aligned with so they wouldnt need an alt. Regardless, i still think the game company running their own instance for the specific purpose of the game is where the fediverse ought to head.

I want, as an example, the US Forest Service to have their own instance. It solves two problems. One, the USFS gets to personally interact how they want in the fediverse and federate when they want with who they want (just like the rest of us) and two, Anyone with an @usfs.fedi.gov account could be trusted to actually be who they say they are. I would like this trend to include news outlets, gov angencies, schools, etc. It helps with validating information and provides trusted first-source information directly from orgs.

If the girlscouts changed a girlscout cookie flavor, their @girlscoutsofamerica.federated.social could make the announcement and we could trust the info and be mad that a cookie flavor changed.

It solves #1 as well because the Lemmy-phile/end user is already apart of an instance that would federate with the game instance.
Administration is taken on by the game company for their own instance, so updating and technical, server side stuff isnt a worry for the end user. As far as the instance owner, its no more difficult to keep updated as it is for other instances. If anything it would be easier because only the devs and company folks would be users of the instance itself so an update doesn’t impact their user base directly, there might just be a pause in new content while it was updating

If a Lemmy-naut is registered with an instance that’s defederated from the game company instance, they can always register at an instance that is federated, either in addition to their main or to replace it. The company’s instance would likely act as an info hub, but the gamers wouldn’t be members of the instance directly, so it would be like any other content that could be opted into. If it became the norm that games or game companies spun up their own instance, it could become a community and marketing tool for the games. But even if the instances themselves retire, the content made is still around and the existing fans could just start channels to continue the community. Companies that arent complete assholes could even assist with transfer to new channels elsewhere.

I think theres an opportunity down the line for a company/companies to form that specialize in helping orgs to spin up instances and sell their them hosting. Hosting is expensive for small groups to manage, but multiple small groups together could make it viable. Plus having the hosting coupled with help overcoming the tech-knowledge barrier could lead to more orgs feeling comfortable spinning up their own instances.

… honestly, the most likely argument is that they saw other races and collectively assumed they ought to have nipples too (oi! why dem pink skins 'ave dots on em? Orkzz ought 'ave em too!! wauuugh) also and so they manifested them. now its just part of their genetic code and none of them ask why anymore.

psychological warfare. First thing the Necron & C’tan did in battle was hesitate thinking, “wtf? do those monsters have nipples?”

This guy watched The Lightbulb Conspiracy… Am I right…?

There are bootstraps you haven’t appropriately pulled up if you live at home.

The more legitimate reason is that there’s a school of thought that you can’t become a fully-fledged, independent adult without putting some distance between youself and the folks that raised you. There’s a difference between someone who never left home and is content to just stay in the status quo, vs an adult who maybe went to off to college or was away from home for some period of time while working that has had to come back due to challenging circumstances and doesn’t plan to stay longer than they need to. Obviously, the stereotype is of the former and not the latter.

Meh, don’t worry about it… whatever environment you find yourself in, navigate it the best you can. Reality might be real to someone experiencing it, but it’s irrelevant to someone who isn’t.

Crossing my fingers for you. Hope you get it it cleaned.

I don’t have an answer for you, but my dry cleaner used to hollar at me when I wouldn’t talk to them before trying to remedy a stain multiple ways myself. She would tell me the more things i tried the less likely it was she could help because i’d helped set the stain by trying unsuccessful methods to clean the garment. Take it to your cleaners. Worst case, you decide not have them do anything. Best case, they’re able to get it done.

This is the correct answer

I’m not an expert on Superman’s super mouth and GI tract, but I have some thoughts.

First, whatever amount of spice that would approach Superman’s limit would be intense enough that mere humans couldn’t be anywhere near the chili cooking. The amount of capsaicin in the environment surrounding the chili pot would be toxic and possibly fatal.

If he was making the chili at the Justice League headquarters the following would happen when Superman offered the chili to the others:

Flash would phase around the capsaicin molocules and say that it was really great in a very non convincing way.

Wonder Woman would take a bite and with flushed cheeks mention that the Amazonian women made a chowder that was a little hotter.

Martian Manhunter would take a whiff of the Chili and decide that the sensation was too close to burning for his liking.

Plastic-Man would be so annoying with his antics following a taste that Superman wouldn’t offer him any even though Plastic Man would be fine eating it.

DCEU Aquaman would take a bite, and though it would burn and cause him hours of misery, he wouldn’t show it and proceed to drink 2 cases of beer.

Batman would enter the kitchen in his Bat-Hazmat Suit and direct Clark’s attention to the posted rules for appropriate workplace food and mention that he expected everything to be cleaned up before the end of the workday. He’d then extract a sample of the chili for analysis and formulate countermeasures in case it was ever weaponized.

Green Lantern would will himself to eat a bite, but surreptitiously surround the bite with a force bubble so his body didn’t have to actually ingest it.

:( was excited to try Ice Cubes, until I found out it was Mac only.
