This is why I don't use searxng as my daily driver! I'm too lazy to self host and they're always down.

Had no idea! Thanks for informing me. I will keep this post up because I think it is an interesting discussion to have

Doing that! But still would like an alternative for reddit.

Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

Figured to crosspost this here too, since I think it could help reddit migrators get comfy (or for those who prefer the colorscheme I suppose).

I am working on an userstyle to bring the "old reddit" colorscheme to Kbin. This userstyle also has some optional quality of life features to make the layout more similar to old reddit as well. I suggest to check out the original post for more details if you're interested!

Also if anyone can figure out how to make the Kbin text on the top not white, that would help a lot! I will make sure to credit you.

It's because, and no offense to anyone who likes the movie, it looks bland. Especially when you directly compare it to all the competition that came out or will arrive within the past year. Puss in Boots, Spiderverse 2, Mario, Ninja Turtles, even the upcoming Migration all not only look more interesting visually than Elemental, but also proven to be more interesting stories than Elemental so far too.

Elemental just seems to be another Zootopia or Inside Out. Why watch that when you have the originals?

When I find a website I find interesting, I usually use the firefox addon feedbro to find an rss feed in the site. I create folders based on domains or website type to help categorize things. It has worked for a lot more websites than I expected.

As much as I hate twitter, I think this is a bad thing. As far as I can tell, the suit is about those uploading music to twitter, which counts as sharing of content and shouldn't be illegal.

Unless I am missing something, if the lawsuit went through, it would be a terrible thing for everyone.

What is it?

I love looking at aesthetics, but my favorite one is one from the 2000s. Greenish-greys with blurry filters. It was used incredibly often, yet there's very little documentation on it! I hope with this community to change that, or at least give the aesthetic more appreciation.

Why is it named like that?

Modification of a suggestion from my r/tipofmytongue post about the aesthetic. The person suggested Seafoam Shame and Verdant Melancholy, so I combined the two.

Some examples

Rihanna - Don't stop the music
Minutepass commercial
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Eminem - Stan (most extreme green example)
Twilight

I understand why they did it, four mods is not enough for the traffic. However, I think they could've anticipated this better than just removing one of the largest instances. Hire more mods. It seems beehaw has banned so much that I am honestly unsure why they want to be federated. I like the idea of beehaw, some things, like limited communities and no downvotes are really smart. But the closed community mindset may kill it.

I mean don't get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren't going to use your site (or use it less).

The problem is, the answer to "how I watch x show otherwise" is pirate, which is an activity many people simply don't know how to or has many loops in order to make it work.

If it helps, I joined kbin cause I like the UI more :P

Use redirector! Here's one i will copy paste for everyone to use:

Description: reddit bye bye
Example URL:https://www.reddit.com/*
Include pattern:https://www.reddit.com/*
Redirect to:https://lemmy.ml/$

Make sure to replace lemmy.ml with your instance of choice and reddit.com with old reddit if you default to that (I always had "use redesign" turned off in my account settings).

For bonus fun, you can copy redirects with the extension, so you can adjust for your favorite subreddits if you choose.

I've gotten it a few times, but today was the max point. I am guessing the api news is bringing reddit's capacity over the edge? That's just a guess though.

I'm asexual as fuck so the lack of horniness is my jam.
