  • Yeah… but I think it’s too late for Mastodon to be popular. Bluesky is already at the tipping point.

    Mastodon just needed to sign you up to their own default server, power users could sign up to different ones and they would have still got the regulars in the door. Mastodon also needed twitter feature parity, something Bluesky also managed much faster.

    Once people are in and settled, then they would start asking questions about that URL after their username, people would slowly become comfortable with the federation and understand it.














  • Well that’s just digital goods, not Steam specifically.

    You do get all the files for the game, that will work for as long as the OS will run them, with or without Steam (this is as close as you can come to ownership for software). Rather than a license to use them files, which become useless if you don’t run the game through Steam.

    Steam sells DRM-free games too, you can download them and then uninstall Steam and they will work. In this case though, on top of purchasing the game, you are buying a license to download updates for it through Steam. It’s a developer decision.
