Devs will have some hard weeks (probably months) facing the new challenges that come with the exodus. Not even mentioning all the work needed to counteract eventual (probable) malevolent subterfuges such as these bot swarms.
I’ll make sure to buy them some coffee. Jugs of.
Now I sure know what the “F.” stands for.
I cannot exclude the possibility that the recent increase in bot accounts on some instances is somewhat linked to such already engaged subterfuges. I mean, the time frame is way too coincidental.

Reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, multiple clients blooming, nodes welcoming the exodus, the fediverse is thriving. Might be the one thing we can show spez some gratitude for!
58 with a similar background (except that I’m a man) and I have no intention to stop.
I’m essentially a PC gamer but had a few game consoles too (until Dreamcast), which I ditched as soon as PCs were able to provide a decent platform for modern gaming. I’m a modder and occasionally a tweaker so I prefer having total control over my gaming environment than being restricted by a closed system console.
I love many game genres, my favorites being immersive open worlds and strategic action and stealth games (à la Ghost Recon Wildlands or Mass Effect) but I don’t limit myself to those. Each genre brings its own amusement and interest, either honing your reflexes or challenging your cooperation skills or your memory.
And above all, gaming is fun!
There is no age cut off for enjoying challenging both your mind and reflexes, nor to have fun. And imho enjoying gaming at our ages is one of the many symptoms of still being a young soul.
I’m sure there are people here with more experience that will be glad helping you comprehend what is and what can be done before you come up preposterously “establishing guidelines”.
