There’s no cut off. Some people are just judgy (and often hypocritical).

I’m the same age as you and I’ve been gaming my whole life. My father had all the Ataris, (2600, 400, 800, XT, etc…). He and I built my first 386 together. My uncles had the Intellivision. Cousins with the ColecoVision. My father’s almost 70 and he’s still an avid Destiny 2 player.

I will admit tho, it’s harder to find women, our age, who are either into or at least open to gaming as an adult hobby. I’m not saying they don’t exist but having been divorced and remarried I can say there’s a gender gap there. I was lucky enough to find someone open minded. She never complained about my weekly game nights to keep in touch with my friends and she’s even opened up over the last few years and has become a bit of a gamer herself.

So… there is no cut off. It’s not immature or childish, and it’s certainly more of an art form than 3/4 of the garbage those same people will spend their free time on (reality tv, tiktock, endlessly scrolling the void of facebook).

If everyone uses cloudflare and cloudflare goes down…

Because they don’t always exist.

Yeah the sad part is that, really, the best we can hope for is a post mortem. Rescue is almost impossible in this situation.

I mean yes but, you don’t have to use it.

I have a home hub (got it on sale a while back) and I agree that it feels like it should be a small detachable tablet. This looks like the natural next evolution.

I’ve had a few android tablets. They’ve all been lackluster and unimpressive. This one, at least seems like it would serve a general purpose (home hub) with the added benefit of being able to detach it and use it as a tablet when needed.

Feedly has fairly decent discovery features.

I’ve been using Feedly, ever since Google Reader was shut down. I’ve been happy with it and it has discovery features to find new feeds that interest you.

I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I’m going to miss it dearly.

I’ve been using nearlyfreespeech.net for (looks) 14 years now. Their business aligns with my ideals and I’ve always been happy with their service.

Change is hard and can be confusing. If the community remains open and helpful hopefully a real push can be made towards taking sites like Reddit down a few pegs.

Thanks. I guess I was being impatient. It’s not the most intuitive interface to have a search come up empty with no indication that I should wait or come back later.

This one gives me a 404 and doesn’t come up in search.

The server sidebar has clickable links to external communities, so there’s gotta be a way.

How hard if it to offer a nominally feed as free experience?
