I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).

If only those apps could have the ability to use an open protocol they were actually built on, that would allow this exact interoperability needed instead of a proprietary half-assed solution, what was its name again…?

Probably they just want to use the same app they’re using for listening to music. Although I also have them both. And I love AntennaPod more for podcasts, plus there’s no tracking, and it’s just a different experience overall.

Friendica should fit the bill right there for you. Or if you don’t want ActivityPub, check out diaspora*. There’s also Hubzilla which uses AP as well, but internally it uses its own Zot protocol.

This was a Romanian tracker, and it was pretty much the most popular one (or at least that I know of), so I am pretty sure there was a lot of local content as well. Movies also always had Romanian subtitles IIRC, so it was a great source for anyone not having a really good English comprehension to fiddle around.

There surely are other trackers as well that I’m not aware of or there’s Romanian content on other international ones, but the community there was quite impressive - you always knew you could source some good quality stuff.

For me, personally, FL was pretty much my go-to whenever I wanted to get something that I couldn’t source for free.

It’s already down, omg. I hope it’s just temporary :(

Edit: seems like there’s just too much activity on it. I briefly reached the login page, but after entering my credentials, I got the same error. Guess we’re safe for now.

Pretty much any game made by Valve. I have a bunch of friends that are really fans of them and I gradually started enjoying them as well.

From what I understood, the gardens were, like, their headquarters. Bombing them would be their Achile’s heel.

Indeed, as @FunderPants said, Metro Last Light should answer some of your questions :D
