As a long time fan I think I need to explain myself. In my last posts I was talking about Dynasty Warriors Origins and not the game this thread was originally about. I don't remember playing that at all. I had forgotten about that game. When I saw this thread bumped I was confused and thought it was about the new game. Speaking of the new game, I rage deleted the demo because when I was trying to learn the controls it said I lost because one of the generals died. Add to the fact that while it was giving me tips, it would not pause the action. The tips would go by so fast I couldn't even read that shyt. That shyt had me livid. That's a bad User Interface. I had this same issue with Wuthering Waves. I'm thinking man wtf is wrong with these developers? In comparison, Zenless Zone Zero and Tower of Fantasy have way better tutorial... anyway...

That’s what it is

They want control over it so they can push that right wing stuff

Have you looked at twitter lately?

It’s a lot of hate against black people

And wild people on my feed I never followed

That would kill the app. There’s a reason TikTok is so popular. Turning it into video X would kill it faster than the ban would. Just leave it alone.. make another Hov(app)

Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol​

Entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol, he shared in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday. In anticipation of the coming U.S. TikTok ban, which will go through on Sunday unless paused by the Supreme Court, users have been fleeing to other video platforms, including the Chinese app RedNote. But investors like Cuban see the potential for a more open social web that includes an ecosystem of apps powered by the same technology that today underpins Bluesky’s social network.

The AT Protocol is a newer, open protocol designed for decentralized social media applications. It’s meant to address what some developers thought were shortcomings with the existing decentralized protocol ActivityPub, used by Mastodon and other social services. While Bluesky is the AT Protocol’s flagship app for the time being, there are many other services now being built with the technology.

Consumer demand for open social apps is also in full swing, with Bluesky itself seeing a surge of new signups in the wake of the U.S. presidential elections, growing the network to 27.6+ million users, up from 10 million+ in September. Meanwhile, on Wednesday we broke the news of a coming Bluesky client called Flashes that would focus on images over text.

Cuban says he’d like to see — and back — something that rivals TikTok but is built on the AT Protocol.

In the video, he briefly describes how ATProto (as it’s called for short) allows people to create their own social networking servers and apps.

Then he adds, “I would be open to investing in supporting anybody — or somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the AT Protocol. So if you’ve got that ability, let me know in the comments. If you create an MVP — a minimum viable product — so I can see it, that’s all the better, because obviously, I think you’d have a whole lot of support,” Cuban says.

“And more importantly, when you build on the AT Protocol, it’s extensible, so that means nobody can just buy it, nobody can just close it,” the investor notes, in reference to the account portability aspects of building for the open social web.

That is, users who want to move their account to another server can do so without losing their followers, content, and other data.

In part, Cuban’s interest in ATProto isn’t only about expanding the open social web; it’s also about fueling competition with Elon Musk’s X. Cuban has openly feuded with Musk on X and elsewhere, criticizing X’s approach to content moderation, misinformation, and more.

Cuban asked interested developers to respond in the comments of the TikTok post.
