You know how people often assume someone is trolling, simply because their account is new?

Another reason would be to not have a billion dead accounts on servers.

When I first considered signing up (I think it was on Mastodon), I was told how very easy it would be to move from one instance to another so it wouldn’t matter where I sign up - so I chose the first server that caught my eye. It was also implied that I’d need exactly one login for the entire Fediverse.

In hindsight, I’m okay with this not being true but it was a disappointment. At least moving servers (while taking your history with you) should be a lot easier if we’re trying to avoid big instances becoming bigger.

Gotta be honest, I don’t get that either.

What exactly was it you expected?

Word of caution: an entire NAS may be a bit of overkill if it’s JUST to get pictures from one device to another. Also consider that, if you get a small, cheap one, you may be tempted to tinker around with what else it can do - which will quickly become frustrating (“If only I had invested a LITTLE more, look at all the shiny fancy things I could do with it!”). Yes, I speak from experience (Synology DS 720+).

Seconded. Ideally this would sync with any mobile devices because I am incapable of self-control and putting my phone where I can’t reach it. I might even (gasp) pay for the privilege.

Agreed. I really enjoy being able to one hit enemies that made me shit my trousers a couple of hours ago. The rats I killed for that innkeeper when I arrived shouldn’t even be worth my attention during endgame.

Then that would be the gamers’ fault, not the producer’s. They’re not responsible for how their comment may not only be taken out of context but also translated in a disadvantageous way.

It’s really just “this thing happened” and nothing else, as if they’re reporting on events where they’re just innocent bystanders. Instead of saying what they did, it’s “hey, we didn’t do [detail]”.
