One of the biggest issues that is going to be harming adoption of the fediverse is the e-mail problem, and who is enabling it.
By now it's well known what happened to e-mail. Google and pals basically control it now because essentially all the normies signed up for one service, and if you don't use Google or someone they approve all emails are sent to /dev/null to stop spam. There is a risk that someone like Google could make a big instance and get normies onto it and force them into it with defederation.
On one hand the biggest company to care about the fedi is Pixiv with Pawoo (now owned by a game publisher), but on the other hand there's already a defederation problem with instances adding other instances because they were told they're bad. Which means if you join an instance like SPC or FSE, you find yourself blocked from many instances which are just cargo culting instance blocks since they're not supposed to ask questions, just block the bad people to "protect" your users. Just like a few other cults, everyone else has to defederate them too or one click of "external source" means the illusion shatters...and you find out everyone online is actually talking shit about you.
This could happen if normies sign up for Mastodon.social or instances with janny problems as they force other instances into their janny pacts, and it's why the only way forward is to decentralize the fedi more.

FDA oversight of clinical trials is “grossly inadequate,” say experts

@beardalaxy @xianc78 simply being true to reality -- not the perverted, artificial world we live in now, but how things were throughout most of the history of humanity -- combats woke shit all on its own
@beardalaxy I'm more surprise that there is even a FFXVI in the works. I thought FFXV flopped so hard that it killed the franchise. I never got into the Final Fantasy series or anything related to Square Enix, so I'm mostly out of the loop on that one. I really do hate that even the Japanese game studios are becoming woke now.
The all white cast reminds me of this Fallout 4 mod that I've heard about which replaces all the non-white characters with white ones. The creator's justification was that there probably wouldn't have been a civil rights movement in the Fallout timeline, so Boston would probably be majority white, even more so after the nuclear war. Though to me, there is nothing that says that there wouldn't have been a civil rights movement in the Fallout timeline, but whatever.
However, that's another problem I have which is that people are combating wokeness with mods which I feel is a band-aid solution. Unless you pirate the game, you are still giving money to the game's creators and a mod just changes the experience to those who have that mod installed.
But what I was talking about earlier about focusing on getting stuff done as opposed to obsessing over current events, I think it's part of the issue with YandereDev. I don't know the full story. I watched some documentary about him a while back and forgot a lot of it. He probably spent more time obsessing over the drama regarding his game compared to actually working on it. I don't know how much was related to identity politics but he always asserted his promise of being an "anti-sjw gamedev" while not getting the game done.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy That, and being bad at promoting their own side. Just look at how mainstream right publications refuse to give airtime to independent creators unless you hand them cash or end up already successful.
At least in literature, there's no shortage of good "non-woke" authors- they're just hamstrung by having to rely on eceleb cred or word of mouth,

@xianc78 oh yeah that's a definite.
I don't speak for everyone, but I think the majority of people complaining about woke shit in games don't really want games that combat the woke shit, they want games that just don't have the woke shit in it.
Based devs helps too, though, when stacked on a game that's just a game. Take the recent interview with FFXVI's director or whatever, talking about how the are pretty much going to only be white people in the game because it is representative of the region the game takes place in. That's an answer that infuriates the people who would be asking that question, but we like to hear that because it means the focus isn't on pandering, it's about the actual game.
Maybe that's a bad example because the current state of Square Enix dictates there will probably be something woke in the game anyway, but you get what I'm going for I'm sure.
@ArdainianRight @Godcast I've only seen a BlackRock house once. Not many people rent out houses where I live. I even see a few houses that are for sale by owner.
As for farmland, people need to learn permaculture. A backyard sized garden can feed a neighborhood.
