      I’m pretty sure you’re the most famous person to use Lemmy. Well besides Margot Robbie

      Newgrounds is dead serious about preserving its content, even with the death of Flash. Ruffle, the Flash emulator, was created by a former employee and Newgrounds is a major sponsor of the project. The most important movies have been converted to video as well.

      When Newgrounds adopted high-resolution thumbnails about a decade and a half ago, there was a big volunteer campaign to recreate thumbnails for the entire back catalogue of the portal.

      Thanks to Ruffle, people can and are still submitting Flash content to the portal, in addition to web-friendly content!

    Newgrounds would be awesome in the Fediverse tbh, would bring so much content (beyond politics and news).

    Image hosting seems to be super problematic with activity pub, especially with something pf Newgrounds’ size. I’m super invested in this, can’t wait to see where it’ll go.

    Can’t they just not allow anyone on their server? Like read-only while people talk about it from other servers?
