I really do love this site, but sometimes it feels like its held together with duct tape and good vibes. (imgflip.com)

I'm literally having to work around kbin's errors to post from this account.

The Kbin Experience. The Best Worst Way to Interact with the Fediverse. (roundcatsblog.wordpress.com)

This blog post is about my experience with kbin, and some of the reasons why I love it, and some of the problems I encountered why using it. So apparently, if I go to add new link, that bypasses the error I encounter with posting threads or photos. At least I was able to somewhat solve one issue I have had posting from my main...

Nujabes - Ordinary Joe (ft. Terry Callier) (www.youtube.com)

Probably my favorite song in Nujabes' discography. The message i take from this song is that no matter how complicated life gets, how people try to trick you, and how much life can get you down, you can always find comfort in simplicity and music.

To whoever needs to hear this.

Seriously though, happy for all the hackermans that get a kick out of them.

One upvote= one growth

Post a meme on lemmy, upvote on kbin, boost on mastodon, comment on firefish, feature on pixelfed, reply to a comment on...

Kinda miss it being automatic on reddit tho

I should probably get started...

I have insomnia, work in Japan, and most of ya'll are active when I should be sleeping.

I just want kbin to succeed.

I know what I need to do, but I sometimes can't break away.

It's a beautiful game with amazing music and gameplay like 2D Zelda. I still think about it a lot.

Well, I guess this applies to anywhere else on the internet too.

You can take the redditor out of reddit but...

Woke up to a destroyed inbox and full of regret

The Whole Fediverse is Wholesome [fixed]

ABC is NOT leaving X/Twitter, despite what the Guardian Headline would have you believe. They are pulling their political coverage and commentary off of the site. The real headline is that ABC would rather censor itself than leave twitter.

I guess lemmy will continue the reddit tradition of basing its commentary off of the article's headline without reading the article.

I'm starting to get really tired of "should" posting, especially about #climatechange. I saw a post recently saying that personal responsibility was pointless, and that we should try to end capitalism, we should take the fight to the governments, armies and companies who cause the most pollution, and we should start a revolution to save the planet.

I see lots of calls to action, but no action.

I'm just doing what I can as an ordinary person to reduce my impact on the environment. I know it isn't going to save the world, but at this point, what else can I do? Honestly, I;m not ready to go to jail, die, or kill in order to fight climate change, and I doubt most people are at that point either. Most of us are just trying to survive.

If you want to start the revolution, be my guest, but you shouldn't shame people for the little they can do, and you certainly shouldn't post expecting others to fight your battles for you. Be the change you want to see in the world, because if people's actions had the same passion and gumption behind them as their posts on #Mastodon, the world would be very different now.

Huh, this looks like a popular post. Imma check the comments and...

Btw, this is me testing the limits of kbin's microblog feature, so the following post will be long. I will post a TLDR at the end.

It has been nearly a month since I've first joined #fediverse. Even before the #reddit exodus, I was already growing tired of the site for the fact that despite how large the communities were, they were very cold and impersonal. There was also the fact that for the #queer community at least, we had been siloed off from the rest of reddit, because nearly every topic involving #LGBTQ issues were very often met with hostility by a good amount of users, often followed by a locked topic. It was even getting to the point where I didn't even feel safe in the some of the more socially liberal spaces.

The fact that mods were being stripped of some of the few tools they had to keep their communities hospitable, I knew the writing was on the wall. I tried many reddit alternatives during the blackout, including #raddle and #tildes. But once I figured out how #kbin, #mastodon, and #lemmy worked, I found myself feeling right at home on the fediverse.

I think the main reason why is because many of the people here are misfits from other platforms. Many of the users on mastodon are former twitter users who were driven off by the corporate culture of twitter, and later by Elon Musk and the poisoning of the platform. Others are former redditors like me who found platforms like lemmy, and are in the midst of trying to rebuild the community they once had on thier former platform.

Fediverse definitely doesn't feel "mainstream" like the sites that many of us come from , but perhaps that is part of the appeal, and why I have taken to it far quicker than any other social platform I have tried in the past. I'm just hoping as the fediverse continues to grow and attract new users, that it doesn't lose it's quirky and experimental spirit.

TLDR: I like fediverse. It's weird, quirky, and I feel more open here than I was ever able to be on reddit. Don't ever change.

When you encounter your own posts on other parts of the fediverse.

I like the interface, and have been a user of the reddit version for years...
