For instances which choose to intentionally mirror or otherwise make available threads content on instances which defederated threats, instances which know about and are deliberately circumventing the fediblock on those other instances it does indeed make sense though. Keep in mind when I talk about it I’m specifically talking about instances who are intentionally trying to circumvent the fediblocks by a coordinated effort, not just that they federate with threads.

Many steam games already have no DRM and ones that use Steam Launcher presence can be launched using a Steam Launcher emulator.

Ones you have to worry about are Denuvio games that aren’t cracked (you can keep track of them here).

They both seem to be having one heck of a time.

Aye

Yep that’s how inspiration works, honestly it’s not really worth giving credit to the “inspiration is stealing” arguments as all of them are bad faith.

They look a bit more like ferrets than cats to me.

That’s fine, the steam deck is already fast enough as is. What I’m mostly interested in is a next gen steam controller for docked Gameplay. One with the same controls as the deck (Dual Analog) and also has USB-C, also since it would be more easily available than the Old Steam Deck controllers which you can only buy used and in ever increasing scarcity.

This issue has me kind of torn, on one hand I feel like people should get second chances in certain situations but on the other hand there are some things that are too severe to so quickly forgive.

I mean the whole reason they were defederated is because they allowed CSAM (referred to as loli) which is a huge legal liability. Even though they seem to have changed their rules and no longer allow said content I don’t think it would be a good idea to refederate. If it were something different or less severe I would be open to it, but as it is the prior violations make it seem too risky in my opinion to refederate.

I’m still not seeing them in the blocked section on hexbear.net

But even so it would be a good idea for us to block them as well since leaving them unblocked means they can come back anytime they like.

Maybe we should encourage defederation from our end, that way we’ll be safe from them since if they defederate us they can change their mind whenever they want and go back to spamming us if they are bored.
