I played five hours or so untill I accidentally caught two trolls humping each other. They were embarrassed. I asked them to continue. Sadly failed the dice roll so they akwardly left. 10/10 game for me.

Nice! Although I have been using Firefox for years and never felt there was an issue with speed. Always been reliable for me.

Nice, really liking the update! Some questions about development for the fediverse: Is the code for running Lemmy written by one or person or a smome core team?

Is there any decision making process as to which features will be worked on in the next release or which bugs to prioritize?

In theory what would happen if the original developers started making changes that other people don't agree with? Would we get a fork then where servers have to choose to adopt it or not?

Though one to answer, but I'll give it a try.

Socially progressive: I value personal freedom and strongly support minorities' rights.

Economic left: I believe in a well regulated market supported by a strong state that can redistribute enough so that everyone has the opportunity to have a decent life, and there is high social mobility between generations. I do think markets are an efficient way to organize economics, but workers should have more to say in the companies they are part of, and governments should be strong enough to enforce fair taxation, and adherence to principles we find important, such as not destroying the planet for short term profits. Also, the value of some things, like health, education or art, cannot be expressed well in monetary value so the state should have the ability to take a share of the for-profit market and provide for those.

Politically democratic: Belief firmly in the principle of government by the people for the people. However, what we know see as the model of democratic government (representative democracy) is only one possible form of democracy. With all the technological means that we have today, it's shocking to me that we haven't found better ways to convert our voices and opinions matter in decision-making processes.
