Why doesn't the image display a preview or display in the post?

Here's the image by the way for other people who can't see it:

I think it looks very nice

Is this bot really needed anymore? I mean Lemmy now embeds tags into the posts, probably could be better at doing that but still.

They're destroying whatever credibility they might've had by acting like trolls. Like at this point they might as well be posting racist wojak memes in these cards.

It really doesn't help their cause or make people want to believe them, and even to normies it comes off as extremely hard grasping. It makes them look weaker. It only helps the cause for people who already onboard, which is useless because those people are already onboard, it's preaching to the choir.

In Markdown you need to add a blank line between the quoted section and your response to it otherwise your response will be included in the quote.

Wow this looks really nice, the quality is fantastic. Kind of bummed that this isn't real, would be a very pretty sculpture.

The main suggestion isn't simply verification of Matrix accounts but being able to use a Matrix account instead of email to sign-up to servers. Also to be able to use Matrix in addition to Email for account recovery. Would be an alternate method of verifying the account, as well as enforcing usage of Matrix usage if Lemmy admins desire that.

The verification of Matrix account ownership isn't really the primary goal, it's just a nice side effect. It wouldn't be in effect though unless the server had one of the first two options checked, if it's the other two options it wouldn't need to be verified to be added.

@[email protected] Might be able to, but that might be a bit complex since XMPP has the same syntax as email ([email protected]), the way that Matrix is, it has a different syntax than email (@username:domain.tld) so the sign-up form could detect it differently than email. Which is why the requirement would be "Matrix or Email required", not "Matrix and Email required". Then you could have one single line in the sign-up form and it would still be familiar to most users.

Yeah it's really not great, I've seen a lot of bad stuff over there. Thankfully it's much more inactive now, and they can't reach anyone else since they're voluntarily not federated.

Not sure, I guess it would depend on the game, and whether or not it was badly affected enough by the update for Valve to consider it broken by the update.

Exactly, adding it later just means people can use the earlier versions. Some wiseasses may argue about missing content but that's a stupid argument since cracked games don't get updates to them either unless new cracks are published, and that doesn't happen as often as actual updates are published.

Thankfully it doesn't happen very often and if a game is out for a long while it's a safe bet it very likely won't be added. If they do though that curator still helps because it makes it more visible on the store page, so you can give a negative review, block its updates, and downgrade to a previous version without it (whether that's officially through Steam's downgrade tools, or downloading it elsewhere depends on the circumstance). Or remove it from your account if you don't care about it anymore.

I figure they must think they can make their games sell better if they include it because it still hasn't occurred to these dumbasses that if your games suck people just won't buy them. Maybe its cope, after all you can't tap into a market of people who don't want your game (well I mean you can, but most companies don't consider scamming people), so they assume all the people not buying it are pirating it.
