I feel like logging in with Facebook and Google on sites is just as much about them gaining access to scrape more info about you as it is for your “convenience.” While there could be value with Lemmy, it’s not nearly what it is with Facebook and Google. So I would say not likely.

Do you know what instance it was hosted on? The only one I’m seeing was created 11 hours ago with two videos, so I’m assuming that’s not it. It’s possible the instance went down. I’d say it’s possible it was defederated, but we’re on different instances, so it’d have to be a big whoopsie to have been removed by multiple instances.

A decade old gaming PC (that was mid-tier at best back then), a PS5 that’s not technically mine, a Switch, and an OG Xbox One. Tell me about it. 😂

What, you don’t like to install the Web Store through a separate extension crx download, mess around in the settings, and enable dev mode? Wait til you hear what you have to do to get DRM working (Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, etc). Hint: It’s a separate zipped download of Widevine that you have to extract deep in the AppData folder, assuming you’re on Windows.

While I agree with this, it’s kind of a pain in the ass if you use extensions. You have to roundabout install the Web Store through a crx download, tinkering in the settings and enabling dev mode, then use that extension to install other extensions. And may the cosmos grant you mercy if you need to use DRM for Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, etc, and have to download the Widevine DRM stuff separately and unzip it deep in the AppData folder.

It’s not impossible, but I guess I’m just saying that this probably isn’t going to be the answer for the everyday, average person.

I was going to say I slightly disagree, but then I thought about it some more and realized they probably just see it as SteamOS in the same way Android doesn’t make people think about Linux either.
