I love it. The surprise me function should give me quite some entertainment. I've already learned about cinnamon, and found a star trek fansite online since 1994,and last updated at least 20 years ago.

Thanks

I've effectively disabled it by setting the quota so absurdly high, even a bot wouldn't be able to hit it. I understand his reasoning, and I don't agree. It's good that Admins can set the quota themselves.

I know of at least one prolific person (PugJesus) that quit the fediverse because of it. And they did post a lot to cool niche communities I am subscribed to, and I enjoyed their contributions. Unfortunately they do not want to do another instance migration.

I'm glad Rimu disclosed it either way, instead of silently adding it.

This guy has never been relevant in my home country in Europe. I'm pretty sure at least 99.5% of people here had never heard from him including me. It was still on national news the entire day, and the aftermath in the following week was on the news too. So yeah. Everyone can be a pretty apt description.

You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.

Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost-effectively marketed in a way that reached more players who would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know.

The actual quote that means the actual opposite of the title.
