I loved old reddit and only ever used it lol

i was thinking of putting a collar on him with a note + number attached in case he belongs to someone so they can contact me. he leaves for small amounts of time but always comes back. good thinking.

preach. this or basic necessities like socks, underwear, gloves, pads, tampons, body wash, shampoo, hygiene products in general, etc etc.

thanks for this <3

i gave up months ago trying to get people OFF reddit and 'defeating' reddit will never, ever happen. i say this as someone who 'led' a big part of the boycott. i had a 3k member boycott server and dedicated weeks to the movement. the most we can do is post and try to grow and naturally attract people to kbin/the fediverse. dont make it about beating reddit, make it about making kbin amazing in it's own right, being the best it can be, beating who it was yesterday.

i totally agree with you, though, it's about content and interactions which there is a SEVERE lack of. people complain about that, then they don't post in the mags, and i know not everyone is a content creator but if you want kbin to succeed then you gotta put a little effort in. a singular post, a singular comment, is better than none. its so draining being a mod and being the only fucking one posting lol, you'd know, as youre the primary poster on your scifi mag.

the good thing about decentralized social media is that, if an admin one one instance is being a dick, you can move to another. imagine if that admin ran every single instance? in the way that reddit has one ruler. thankfully, it's not like that here.

how do you mean?

agree here. growth dipping and lack of participation pushed me away a bit. i didn't mind it being small, but when i saw i was the only one in my communities ever contributing content, i felt discouraged.

niche communities with activity is what's really lacking here, would make all the difference. though, when attempting to fill those niches, which i have attempted, it seems there's not many people around who are interested.

i havent been active here for weeks, months maybe, but before i was arguably one of the most active on the site during and after the reddit stuff. i do miss making scripts and styles for kbin, the feeling of community, and the urge to create content. coming back i see a lot of activity died off, expectedly, but there is a tight-knit but welcoming community that has formed and it's nice too see. does feel a bit empty though?

that thing is hideous

this is gonna go nowhere per usual, but still, the very idea of working in your dreams is fucking horrifying. black mirror type shit.

i really did not understand and this. this mag is for migrants and updates on the migration, a literal hub for migrants from reddit.

if a migrant has something to say about migration, about their own migration or what caused them to migrate, anything related to the reddit migration it belongs here. pushing them away like this and making them feel stupid for making a post when this is now supposed to be their safe haven away from reddit is NOT helping

maybe is a bit out of their league, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking and getting started that way. you don’t magically know what to do, asking can help you gather the steps required.

there is never anything wrong with asking and learning

i started learning it bc i was told it was easy, and it was, but i switched to JS because I had no practical uses for python, but i can say it did help me understand JS better

unrelated but these ai generated article images are fucking creepy

yes, you can. you only need to sign up for one instance, thats your “home base” and you can see everything from everywhere else from it. it’s like you can make a gmail account and still email ymail, yahoo, outlook, whatever else

yes

i thought lemmy had like 250k+ (?) in total and then kbin.social has like 40-45k

this fucking sucks. i am very disappointed that the protests lost steam and everything is just back to normal, swept under the rug. they showed their hand, acted like fucking dictators, and everyone is just like “welp thats it!” and gives the fuck up. it’s just sad. it feels like 90% of the people who said they were in this were all just being performative.

so many of us dedicated a lot of time to the protests, left our communities, migrated, all for everyone to just go crawling back. i won’t go back. i am staying on kbin. but man, it fucking sucks to see reddit face 0 consequences because Spez was right, “this will blow over”
