- Comment on What Are People Still Doing on X? 4 days ago:
Unfortunately, not everyone even aware of Musk stuff.
I’m Indonesian, and a lot of Indonesian people are using Twitter without even knowing what’s going on with Twitter except for name change.
I usually recommend my friend to join local Misskey or Mastodon instance instead. But its harder when fediverse trending stuff is filled mainly with Western stuff. All existing instance are tends to whether ACG stuff or tech stuff with occasional local/global politics discussion.
It’s a chicken and egg situation.
Not to forget, all Mastodon Indonesia instance are dead around a year after huge Indonesian migration from Twitter. It gives impression that fediverse is not a viable alternative.
I still have three different Twitter account, and all of them have entirely different feed mainly either Japanese ACG stuff, Indonesian local discussion, or to interact with private friends account. Almost all my friends still using Twitter for talking about Indonesian musics, politics, or other pop cultures that unrelated/disconneted from Western fandom.
Any social media is filled with various cultural/societal bubbles. Even fediverse itself is filled with cultural bubbles, mainly Western-sphere, JP-sphere, geek-sphere, or CN-sphere.
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t say its their fault tho.
Professional will use software that suitable for their workflow. I’ve seen professionals changing their main software if there was better alternative.
For example, there are wave of professional that are moving from Adobe to Affinity. Illustrator and comic artist are moving from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint or Procreate. Some video editor will instantly change their software to Davinci Resolve.
Most of the time, they can’t change their software because their client requires file compability, such as Photoshop-native PSD. Sure, other software can open/edit PSD, but they might not fully support all PSD format specification.
That’s why people on open source community focused on open format and open workflow instead. Inkscape use SVG. Krita use ORA. And so on.

Entire fediverse is still mostly Western community.

I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine…

- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 6 months ago:
Whatever the result in, I wish there won’t be over-moderation that too Western-centric.
Not all swastika are Nazi (I live in a country where swastika is simply symbol of religion and peacefulness). Not all words that too similar with offending word in English are bad (some games literally banned Indonesian for having “nasi goreng” as their name, too similiar with Nazi they said.)
- Comment on Let's discuss: Visual Novels 7 months ago:
Huge chunk of “visual novel” standard by Western-based site are not actually considered visual novel in Japan (and visual novel fandom).
For example, Danganronpa and Phoenix Wright are not visual novel, but “adventure games/ADV.”
Even Nintendo’s Emio English promotional call it adventure games.

The reality is GaaS is exteremely hard to success. Every one success GaaS, there are probably 20 or 50 failed one that we even never heard.
- Comment on Japan forces Apple and Google to open their mobile platforms • The Register 11 months ago:
Japan has so many unique store that operated in their country with region-locked apps/games.
As far as I remember, even DMM and DLsite already has their own game store on Android.
This is truly a win for Japanese customer and company.
