Being a refugee is a real life-threatening experience that happens to real people in response to real violence. Not when your favorite website closed down your favorite 3rd party app.

It's like saying you were raped when you get killed in fortnight bc some kid 360 no scoped you. It takes away from the experience of real rape victims.

We definitely did have a spike in registrations here at least. One of the only ways people find out about lemmy is when it gets cross-posted. We could really use more news articles about it tho on open-source / privacy related spaces.

We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @[email protected].

Lemmy is similar to Reddit in many ways, but there is also a major difference: Its not only a single website, but consists of many different websites which are interconnected through federation. This is achieved with the ActivityPub protocol which is also used by Mastodon. It means that you can sign up on any Lemmy instance to interact with users and communities on other instances. The project website has a list of instances which all have their own rules and administrat

The regular elo formula is complicated.

The most basic elo formula is win = 1 points, draw = 0, lose = -1. Which is a little too basic.

I looked around and couldn't find a 'medium difficulty' elo formula. Anyone have a medium difficulty proposal?

Regular elo formula:

The Elo rating system embodies this by using a formula that changes a player's rating by adding K(S-E) to his rating each time. K is a constant that is the same for all players; the higher it is, the more easily your rating changes. S is the score of the player in a match (+1 for a win, 0 for a loss). E is the expected score of the player in the match. Against a weak player, it is close to 1 since you expect a strong player to beat a weak player most of the time. Conversely, against a stronger player, it is close to 0. You can calculate E using the formula E_A = 1/(1+10(R_B-R_A/400)), where E_A is the expect score of player A with rating R_A when faced with player B with rating R_B.
