Thanks for setting this up KB!

@jtnichol I know you are not there anymore but do you know if Gridplus has any plans to ship from EU? I want to buy like 6 more cards.

How do I stop the automatism that automatically opens the RIF app and tries to find the daily?

Like many third-party apps, Reddit is Fun is gonna be shut off in a few days anyway. So maybe uninstall already?

US crypto flight is accelerating thanks to SEC.

It is with great pleasure that I discovered that even on kbin you can, in fact, updoot the diddly! 🥳

This is one of the most wildly convoluted/sophisticated example of a crypto scam that I've seen:

https://twitter.com/MrMMarsh/status/1668183547574624257

Fake death leads to fake obituary in fake newspaper, describing a fake interview which mentioned the fake 'crypto platform' that the scammers are trying to get you to connect to.

How come we never get anything that interesting from the scammers that target EthFinance? All we have is boring fake airdrops spam. Lazy.

MrVodnik, 11 months ago

Whenever someone tells me crypto is full of scams, I agree. Then I add, its the same for the internet. It sooo full of all scammy pages, ads, mails, reddit dms, shopping offerings, etc. We just got used to this (both to seeing them, and to the fact, that many less tech savvy people are scammed daily).

I just don't get why the tweet blames twitter for this? Especially "since Musk" took over. Not long ago it was hard to watch any crypto related video on YT without an 1 hour "ad" with Vitalik or Musk talks and their address, that will double your coins if you send them your ETH. Googling for Curve finance often returns "curvle" or similar scam result as "ads", which are very neatly presented as first results of your search.

This is how internet works. Especially, since the platforms are not legally culpable for their ads content in the US.

This is also a reason why no one should feel bad for using ad-blockers. I would even go as far as say its a moral duty to install these on our parents and children devices.

Why do I see posts from magazines that I did not subscribe to in my front page? Is there a way to turn that off?

T0Bii, 11 months ago

Good question. There's a setting where you can set what you want to see on your homepage. I changed in to 'subscribed' but not sure if it's actually working.

kayjay, 11 months ago

I’m still seeing these posts under my subscriptions page, so I’m not sure the subscriptions page is actually working properly.

edit: figured it out! on mobile at least, even if you set your homepage to subscriptions it will not actually take you to subscriptions if you click the home button. Yo have to use the filter button and select Subscriptions from there.

kbrot, 11 months ago

I believe the front page is currently operating like an r/all. In fact when they restore federation, you'll start to see content from other instances (Lemmy, almost certainly)!

But while that's super cool, many don't want that. I'd set your bookmark for https://kbin.social/sub for now. That'll filter it.

GM Ethfam, glad a few of us have found our way over here already.

this site sometimes seem to work

Ronno, 11 months ago

Give it a couple of days. It is not easy to scale a platform as rapidly as the devs are doing. They are doing a great job at it! This will improve over time.
