It would be interesting. I'd guess Porro just ends up being quite a bit too direct for it to work out, but I'd be curious to see what would happen. Deki is clever enough to give it a run. Not actually expecting to see it but wouldn't mind a half or two just for the sake of seeing how it plays out.

Ugh, this band is so good. Saw them live a couple of months ago or the first time and they just tore it up, top to bottom. Still feel like I'm recovering from it.

DiCaprio wouldn't ever date me...wait, is "older" code for "ugly"? Oh you little...

First of all, I think lines are going to change a lot early in the season. But I'll throw these out anyway...

Razor - Larkin - ADB

Fabbri - Compher - Perron

Sprong - Copp - Berggren

Fischer - Ras - Kostin

Veleno/Kasper

Seider - Walman

Ghost - Holl

Maatta - Chiarot

Lindstrom/(Edvinsson)

Husso

Lyon/Reimer (pick 'em, but I'd rather run with Lyon)

I could see several combinations of the first line. I don't prefer Perron there but guessing Lalonde will give it a shot, too. Guessing the top 6 should end up modestly stable, though, since they'll probably all spend a lot of time on the PP and we may want to come back with a tough line thereafter to combat a team fresh off a kill. Likewise for Copp/Fischer/Ras/Kostin on the PK, though, we may get some Larkin time there, too, situationally. I really liked how we we deploying regular linemates on the PK a bit last year (larks/razor, e.g.), but it didn't stick. While it worked for chemistry, surely we'd rather save guys like that for ES and PP time.

Defensively could be hard to say. A chiarot-Holl pair gives me some pause, but I really like the idea of Ghost and Maatta, so hopefully we get to see that at points. But we got a lot of Maatta-Chiarot to close out last year so guessing we see a bit more of it. Seider-Walman seems like it's theirs to lose and only may get disrupted depending on how the PP plays out, since seider, Walman, Ghost all likely spending some time there.

Highway fucking robbery

And to add, if you want more directly to see the data on activity of the instances and communities, switch the view to "List" from the default "Grid"

It absolutely did! When you'd get into the "rooms" with the gray walls and the electric-y fencehy thing Infront of you, you'd have to dodge left and right while holding the gun in front of you in first person view. That game was so fucking hard...

Wish for the best for him. If nothing else, the kid is regularly bet on himself. This is a pretty big bet, but hopefully a change of scenery in a different combination of surroundings and lineup can help him produce more.

Yeah definitely a huge instance after the 18 upgrade!

I'm not sure if it's for the same reasons, but Andro.id is another example of an instance around a common intent/subject, with communities based on topics within that subject area.

Interesting concept but agree that if that was the intended means of propagating the fediverse, it doesn't seem like it's happening as planned (but still in a very viable way).

On Jerboa. Probably need to give connect a shot at some point just to experience it. But I'll almost certainly switch to Boost once it drops. Absolutely hooked on that for reddit for many years and it's such an awesome client I'm sure it's dev, Ruben Mayayo, will do no less for Lemmy.
