Christian Selig (@christianselig@mastodon.social): "Really Important Apollo Update...." (indieweb.social)
"I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️ Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set”...
kbin is growing on me. you guys are great! I'm staying here. never going back
Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?
I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
r/Anime_titties is now about actual Anime titties. No more worldpolitics. I would like to see reddit explain removing them as mods. It's even in the title of the sub

Haven't touched reddit since July 1st
It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...

Threadiversal Travel - A guide for Lemmy, Kbin and general Reddit off-ramping (shellsharks.com)
Hey Kbin-folk, I’ve recently published my take on the “threadiverse” in the form of a quasi-guide but with some other commentary. Appreciate any feedback, good or bad!
This is the Reddit app. They are making it really easy to want to migrate (lemmy.world)

Lemmy & Kbin reaching 100k active users within days. (fedidb.org)
Looking at Fedidb.org the Fediverse Network Statistics, I'm seeing about 98,000 Active users as of the 27th. That's at least 50k new users this month. Welcome to Lemmy, fellow migrants!
Google execs admit users are 'not quite happy' with search experience after Reddit blackouts (www.cnbc.com)
Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.
All mods of /r/self and /r/shittylifeprotips were removed and suspended for 7 days without any warning first.
We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it....

Reddit is Removing Mods Whose Teams Let Their Subreddits Post NSFW Content (www.quippd.com)
Things are moving fast again, so this is going to be another quick and dirty post… Reddit is now removing mod teams without any pretense of speaking for mode...
Don't be discouraged by people saying these protests don't work, or by subreddits going public
People discredit every type of protest, IRL or not. I think back to every major protest that's happened in response to some major event, and the response every time is "That won't ever work", "You're wasting your time", "Imagine caring about that"....
Buy Ernest a coffee to keep this thing going on!

How can we smooth out the migration and help promote kbin/lemmy to subreddits and redditors?
I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators...
Reddit removes my post about how Reddit doesn't accept my GDPR request (lemm.ee)
I’m pretty sure this is illegal? They have to accept my GDPR request, and they certainly can’t block me from reporting that it isn’t working, for them to accept it.
