This just in: If you make your account “non-obvious”, then you’re free to advertise!
Just in case it’s not clear </sarcasm>
Also – I’ll point you to https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#70-advertising
The INSTANCE rules are as such:

Not really. Other than the perpetually online, a majority of people believe that trans identities in women’s sports is wrong. I don’t know how to fix that perception, but it’s a pretty common viewpoint.
Being trans-exclusionary everywhere ELSE absolutely, you would be considered a radical.
But before “Gender Identity” even became a thing, sports had some pretty simple rules: If you take substances to modify your body, then you’re excluded from competition.
Unfortunately, that’s the primary basis of gender identity nowadays, so it’s a natural consequence. Notice that the problem never really even gets discussed in men’s sports (except by reactionaries) – because there being any kind of physical advantage in the male category is negligible at best.
No way to report this obvious advertisement?
Honestly, I couldn’t understand why people called her a TERF for the longest time, I figured she was just a TEF. But her outburst calling this “the new men’s rights movement” has me understanding now. With that said, meh. But maybe I’ve grown up around too many crazy people for it to register any more.
Minecraft has become the defacto standard to compare to because it is the most popular. Infiniminer only has voxel building, but Minecraft isn’t a clone of it because it became more popular, and took the idea MUCH further. It refined it, and made it better.
Minetest is a cheap half-assed recreation of that. If their idea is to be Minecraft – but extensible via API/LUA programming, they have a long way to go. There’s a 30 min tutorial for Godot that would put you about where Minetest sits right now in terms of quality.
Then why is the title “Why I prefer Minetest to Minecraft”?
Because that’s the exact comparison being made here. It’s built to emulate minecraft. To say it’s not is a bald-faced lie. This excuse is constantly used when people point out how terrible it replicates the thing it’s clearly trying to replicate.
You can’t just use this excuse when people point out how bad it is. You can’t even pretend it’s better, because it really just isn’t.
Things like horrible lighting engine, textures that were made by an amateur which lack depth, horrible world generation with lack of the types of layering that MC uses, the requirement to MOD it before it hits feature-for-feature parity, and even then, badly.
The reason why my feedback is vague, is because I would probably write a dozen pages worth of shit. It’s one of those ‘death by a thousand papercuts’ situations. The little things add up to the whole thing just feeling like shit. Movement, acceleration, graphics, world generation, UI elements, the barebones nature of the freshly installed game, textures that repeat HEAVILY, shadow-pop-in, chunk pop-in, fog, I could go on for days.
Minetest suffers from the same thing most open source projects suffer from; it’s “good enough” for a programmer to enjoy.
It just doesn’t have the polish to compare to the real thing.
Great you can add mods, but there are a million little ‘attention to detail’ things that don’t exist, or won’t exist.
