@pettanko @beardalaxy I've stayed here the entire time. It's just that the political landscape has changed in the past five years, Elon bought out Twitter, and Poast bullied some of the more laid-back users/instances.

@pettanko @beardalaxy I've had people all over the spectrum follow me. A good portion of them in each camp were probably feds looking back, but I'm not going to mention any names.

@pettanko @beardalaxy I had a bunch of people who followed me, then shat on me because it turns out that I'm not NatSoc. I've also had people that I'm pretty sure were feds looking back. A lot of them have left fedi, but that's why I'm always paranoid about who's following me and also why I've limited my political discourse over the years.

What isn't talked much about in this is that there are also restrictions when it comes to video game providers (digital distribution services, multiplayer services, etc.) From what I can tell, yes, you do have to provide an ID to purchase video games online. Many people already use their real credit/debit cards for Steam, Xbox Live, etc so it might not be a deal for some, but it is for those who use pre-paid cards and cryptocurrencies to purchase games.

From what I can tell, most multiplayer games are fine as long as they don't create some searchable profile about their users. If you run some community server for an online game, or a tunneling service for LAN games like XLink Kai, or some reverse engineered service for a defunct console's online functionality, you should be fine, from what I can tell.

Please don't just instantly follow me because I liked or reblogged one of your posts.

Though this does make me wonder if commercial social media sites will start stripping algorithms and go back to non-targeted ads as a loophole. I don't think Facebook would do it, but X/Twitter might.

So, apparently KOSA *MIGHT* not apply to the fedi, or at least most of the fedi doesn't apply, as algorithmic manipulation is a requisite for being considered a "platform".

It's been a while since I've worked on the game itself, but I've implemented item crates that you destroy to get items.
