I heard good things about Veloren. It’s not a classical MMO, but I think it qualifies as one.

Sims

No promises, but I actually working on one 😅 See this comment.

Same! There are almost no proprietary alternatives either!

It’s funny that the first comment is about The Sims 😅 My wife and I are working on a life simulation game in Rust using Bevy. I’ve been working on it for almost a year, and feeling a we are feeling a bit demotivated recently. So right now I took a small “break” and focus on improving crates that I used inside the game (input management and networking). I know the project is quite ambitious, but I’ve always wanted to create something like this. Seeing this many upvotes on your comment is quite encouraging 🙂

I post my progress at !projectharmonia@lemmy.ml and here is the GitHub page. The project name is a placeholder. I haven’t managed to come up with a nice name yet.

A federated MMO would be interesting! But cheating might be a concern. Anyone could create a server with fully-equipped character and just federate.

But maybe servers could whitelist trusted servers? 🤔

Never heard about it, but looks cool!

A president simulator? This sounds great! Never heard about these games, thanks for sharing!

Also wanted something like this! Maybe for MMO it will be easier to create a re-implementation 🤔 Because it’s not only hard to develop, but also hard to fill with content.

I’ve always been a lurker, but I started being active on Fedi, and I like it!

Happy to see!

I wondering what caused such jump.

There is also second part of this article (a response to BlueSky response): https://dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-bluesky-decentralization/

I wish we could have multiple photos in posts here. Yes, we can put other photos in the description, but it would be nice to view all of them without opening the post.

I use Neovim, love their Lua direction.

Yep, and for anyone who curious why it’s not actually decentralized, I highly suggest to read this thread from someone who worked on ActivityPub:

The rise of Bluesky demonstrates the importance of ease of use and a user-friendly design. Its polished and familiar interface is a key reason for its growth and appeal as an alternative to platforms like X/Twitter.

I think many people use Bluesky instead of Mastodon because of its UX, not its UI. Both looks great (I think Mastodon even nicer!).

I personally use Mastodon, but I’ve seen people complain about their experience with it.

I heard good things about lemmus.org

Won’t they just replace one CEO with another and increase their security?

I think for proper defense we need to unite against them.

Not defending the CEO, just saying that killing him won’t solve the actual problem :(

People on Mastodon are quite vocal about BlueSky, so I doubt that many people switched. I think that BluSky gained its audience from Twitter users mostly.

I think people dislike the experience.

For example, on Mastodon your profile discoverability is disabled in settings by default. I guess it’s needed to optimize the hosting cost, but people also like being heard. Also people don’t know who to follow since there are no algorithms or starter packs right now. And if you have a post from another instance, you need a browser extension to open it on yours. That’s the complains I saw.

As a Mastodon user, I hope we solve them!

But if they want to train AI, can’t they already scrape Fediverse since it’s open to everyone?

I feel like we need to unite and make Mastodon a better place instead of making drama about it. Mastodon is not perfect, but it’s a platform over which we have control, unlike Bluesky.
