  • Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world…

    News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.

    Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld’s.

    History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)

    Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).

    Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld’s 13k

    Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld’s 6k

    Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar’s 19k

    Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.







  • On one hand, I think some data is better than no data, so I think its fair to say that there is a lack of evidence for it being better in terms of in-game performance after setup based on it and that should just be the null assumption anyways.

    On the other hand, its been over a decade since its been pretty well known that average FPS is not necessarily reflective of overall performance and throwing the frametime data into a spreadsheet and doing =percentile([range],.99) and =percentile([range],.999) and then dragging it to neighboring cells seems like a pretty minimal extra work for a commercialized channel. For niche testing like this, I’m less bothered by it because having some results seems better than nothing, but its still nice to see it pointed out.



  • I think 70% of the recent posts seem onion-y or would be if it were claiming any other person except a handful of people who regularly say things that I’d have assumed were the Onion pre-Trump.

    The Onion has generally been political, with a bias towards US politics, and Not the Onion is for news… so the posts should generally be political news mixed with some lighthearted nonsense news.

    Also, one of the less oniony stories is one I upvoted without realizing where it was posted just because it seemed funny and it was one of the non-political news stories.
