Adorable compliance!

Is Goodreads bad? I use it a lot, but would it be better/more ethical to change like with reddit?

Yes, I always thought Storm was a little tone deaf in this scene. I think Beast even tells her in another scene: he says something like "it's easy for you, you don't shed blue fur on the furniture"

Honestly, I agree. I am not tech savvy, I am actually a pretty basic user of the internet. I just followed the link provided in a post, registered on Kbin, and started enjoying it.

Now, Lemmy did give me more trouble, and it's the reason I am on Kbin, but even then it was more a matter of having to wait for confirmation. By the time it came I found I preferred Kbin "graphics" (don't know how to explain it better).

Really can't understand what people find so difficult. Even the fediverse isn't a difficult concept: you sign up in one site, you can see posts from other sites too. Simple as that. There's nothing complicated if you're just an user and not someone who has to make it work

It works both ways!

Thanks to @digitallyfree and her post ( https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/40257/Introducing-the-Kbeanauts-my-idea-of-a-Kbin-mascot)
I have found the perfect name for all of us: the Kbeanauts!

Wow, the fediverse at work: I posted on kbin and you're replying from lemmy! This is awesome!

It's happened multiple times today, I go look into the most recent posts in "all" , I am happily scrolling, when BAM! NSFW.

Now, I have nothing against that type of content itself, but not everyone wants to see it. This is the reason you can disable NSFW content from your feed, but it'll only work if people check the specific mark before posting.

Sorry, just wanted to rant, it's frustrating...

That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let's not poison ourself, thinking on "how to make them pay". Let's move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

This is actually a pretty good story, I can feel the second hand satisfaction!

I wonder why people are so unreasonable sometimes...

I have seen @hariette's announcement that they are working on an unofficial app for kbin and is accepting volunteers for beta testing.

I am definitely interested, but I have a question: if I enter the beta testing, what would be my responsibilities? I ask before I have never beta tested anything...

NTA, it was obviously not a prank but a thoughtful gesture

That man was disgusting... Glad you found a way to fight back

Don't really know what the right way to call it is, but someone/some bot is spamming this post everywhere, even in the comments sections:

EDIT: it even spammed in this comment section
