What they failed to realise is teachers can have a unique ability to make kids hate a subject.
If you force them to do it, they can do it really badly without it being obvious.
I can imagine reading the Bible word for for in monotone from day 1 won't be a good experience.

In the UK, we call it a minnie for girls. Willy for boys.
Hi all, Due to MineClone2 renaming, it is time to rename the community. One thing I thought long and hard about was whether the community remained here on Lemmy.world. Due to fact that some players may not be able to access it (for example if they're on a community that has been defederated from), it is best to move to another instance. lemm.ee has a sensible policy on this and is one of the big instances so is reliable. So the new community will be based here: !voxelibre@lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/c/voxelibre Thanks, AncientMariner

India was considered part of the BRIC rapidly developing economies long before modi. Feels weird to give him credit for what was inevitable.

How can you feel good about yourself if you aren't shaming people with less technical capabilities? Next you'll say something crazy like believing in yourself. Nonsense, crazy person. Get out of here.

You've nailed this here, yet get downvotes. The amount of times I've gone to a man page and my eyes glaze over. Really handy to learn new flags or if you forget, but as an introductory material. They don't work for everyone. People learn in different ways, sometimes by doing and my brain isn't wired this way.

VoxeLibre has intended to not be Minecraft clone for a long time now. There has been burgers in the base game for 17 months now. Unfortunately, every time someone tries to do something different, they get a hostile reception. The name is a liability, and not representative of what the project plans to be. The name change is about where the game plans to be, not where it was in the past. MineClone2 is a dreadful name. It's like calling it rubbish MC rip-off 2.

Very aware about Gitea, and unfortunately when we tried to migrate to Forgejo on Codeberg, the migration script got stuck in a repeating loop. Apparently it's a known issue and we got very little help with this so unless we abandon all our issues including 850+ open ones, we're in a bit of a pickle.
The new name followed those rules.It's voxel and libre, sharing an L. Only debate is about how people pronounce Libre, and we ain't that precious.
I would love everyone to use Matrix. I created the space and maintained it. We are now up to around 45 users ish. Discord has over 500. In gaming, it just operates at a different scale.
I'm as much of a FOSS enthusiast as you, but when you run big projects, you have to represent more than just your own personal view. You represent your players and contributors. Now and in the future. If you want new FOSS users, you have to reach them where they are. Best way to further FOSS software is to get new people using it. With over 350k downloads. I think we're doing a pretty neat job.
It's tempting to think your views are right and everyone else is wrong, but it's no basis to be functional and collaborative. Are you running any large FOSS communities? Want to share info on how you've done these things and how effective it was?

You seem to not like the name or the things we do. Maybe tell us more about what you like...
We had the poll on Matrix also which is FOSS, and our issue tracker built on Gitea. The minetest forums are notoriously sluggish and many there don't play VoxeLibre. We reached out to players in all areas. The fact remains that 80%+ of our players choose discord and ignoring them is not a helpful. A lot of people do not check the forum frequently, and that policy would be exclusionary and unjustifiably dogmatic.
We make extra efforts to reach out to our members in FOSS communities and do more than most to keep away from non-free software like Github and keep our channels bridged to matrix.
I can assure you the effort is non trivial and takes away from actually writing open source software. Very recently it lost all the data and we had to manually bridge 15+ channels again when I had waay too much other stuff going on. Many projects abandon these bridges because they are unreliable.

It was done by a poll on Discord, Matrix, and our issue tracker. I think over 120 votes were cast. It was a polling majority...
AncientMariner 6mo ago • 100%
Pretty much. Yes.
The game has always had differences and sometimes the contributors can get a little firm on folk for differing because it's called MineClone2. Well now it isn't. The term inspired by rather than clone has been used for a while now.
The name change is finally happening. We have decided on the new name and are moving forward.

I've said goodbye to the MineCraft I once knew, if we want something better, we make it, improve it and share it! :)

I think the other response was quite accurate. Different language and architecture makes it harder. There are mods made for minetest that can work with MineClone2, so there may be some stuff you'll enjoy, but usually they have to specify it's available for MineClone2. Here is a page if you want to have a look: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/hub/
Minetest modding is actually quite nice to do from what I've heard.

Multiplayer servers have between 20-40 on it most days. So usually can find people to play with. Quite a number enjoy the game. Obviously not on the level of MC. They're a lot bigger with far more resources, but it's a pretty solid game. It's always special when people give up their free time to make the world better rather than tear things down ;).

I'm not trying to convince folk at all. I'm stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don't think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn't exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.

You're on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn't sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.

Not necessarily, there is MineClone2... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aHym2jUB1M
AncientMariner 1y ago • 100%
Cool idea.
On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?
We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: !mineclone2@lemmy.world (edited in proper URL)
