every instance has some users worth keeping in some conversation

That doesn’t contradict what I said.

Refraining from making the fediverse an archipelago where people refuse to talk to anyone who had the misfortune of picking the wrong instance

The fediverse cannot now be made that because the fediverse is already that.

Do they genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.

From my interactions, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re mostly seriously broken people who’ve discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.

If they weren’t so toxic, they’d be deserving of compassion and forebearance.

Thanks but I meant links to your posts :-) Or more specifically, the communities you post to with anti-regime info. I looked through your profile but I couldn’t see where you were posting such things beyond World News.

if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism

There is definitely a place for Soviet simps in the Fediverse, it’s just in a corner all by itself. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.

I post about horrors that are happening in Ukraine (not the ones that are committed by Russia, but by Zelensky’s regime with support from the west)

Any chance of a link? Just out of curiosity.

Every time we fragment the fediverse we make it overall worse.

Only if your conception of better/worse is focussed on user count rather than user quality.

Average users don’t even understand what they’re looking at when it comes to decentralized networks

Refraining from defederation won’t change that.

Uhhh… recent? Did you perhaps miss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment_America,_Inc._v._Hotz ?

Finally!

higher average fps

The Cloud Outgrows Linux, And Sparks A New Operating System

…which runs on top of Linux

works better

What do you mean?

It’s not like games talk to the kernel and GPU driver directly to get graphical output

LOL that’s exactly what they do.

there’s a desktop environment they need to take into account

They do not need to take the desktop environment into account. They ask for a window and they render into it. They’ll ask for a window using either the OpenGL or Vulcan API. Both those APIs abstract the windowing system away, the desktop is entirely irrelevant. Under Wayland, the compositor requests a buffer from the kernel, provides it to the game and then manages where on the desktop that buffer is rendered. The game’s rendering is done directly (talking to the kernel and GPU driver) without going anywhere near either the compositor or the desktop environment.

The desktop environment means nothing when it comes to gaming. Except in so far as it may provide a GUI to configure aspects of the system that would otherwise be configured on the comand line or, for example by interacting with /sys.

This is why I asked what OP meant when they said KDE “supports” gaming better. Seems ridiculous. The desktop environment is not involved in game rendering. It has no impact. I’m mystified as to why people think it does.

official support for both VRR, and HDR

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Wayland compositors

As I understand it, functionality like VRR is provided by the DRM driver in the kernel, not the compositor. Hence my question.

What does VRR have to do with KDE? Or HDR?

better gaming support

Just curious what you mean by that?
