@minnieo I think the real question is how many people actually check who upvoted what?

Kebin is too similar to Kbin

That's why it's good!

Not really. I used to mod /r/brisbane, but basically stopped interacting with reddit around 6 months ago. I've been on the fediverse and threadiverse ever since!

@patchw3rk I'm in the same boat! I created them before the migration, because they didn't exist. But I don't have the time or the desire to admin communities with hundreds of people. I hope this becomes easier at some point

Hey ,

I have an idea for an implementation that I believe can give users much more control over their content and also more privacy.

Do you know anyone who has enough experience with AP to discuss and review whether it's viable or not? I'm pretty excited about it actually.

Thank you <3 :vlpn_happy_heart:

@Overeater It's the kbin one I'm talking about. I created it just so a space existed, and now it's got hundreds of members and lots of activity, but I'm not terribly engaged with it.

I mean, to me, it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn't deal with marginalisation in any real way. No unique selling point? The fact I can exist here without being constantly harassed by bigots that have a green light from a mega social media platform that doesn't give a shit about me is a pretty strong selling point. Strong enough that having experienced it, I will never return to a centralised social media platform that isn't aggressively supportive of minority rights.

I just realised there were no bin chickens in that photo!

So, this was taken in Redcliffe on Saturday. I'm not sure whether that counts as "Brisbane" or "this week", but I don't care. Close enough :)

So, suppose I have an idea for an implementation that guarantees more control over content and more privacy.

Who here knows enough about ActivityPub to help me break down the idea to detect any pitfalls and discuss viability? I could see myself coding a basic implementation but I don't have nearly enough experience to really assess its viability.

If you know anyone who could help me review a theoretical proof of concept on a really high level, please let me know.

Thank you <3

@001100010010 I live in bone conducting headphones most of the day, but when I'm at home, it's either my crappy TV speakers or dedicated over the ear headphones

Feminizing Makeup Tutorials?

@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn't know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching

Very curious how well kbin can work as a Mastodon replacement in addition to a threadiverse reader. Does it work as a one-stop shop for fediverse browsing?

Ada,
Ada avatar

@koncertejo It does, but it's not quite as convenient for the microblogging side of things. It can do them, but it's more suited to following hashtags and topics from the rest of the fediverse than it is for following specific people

    @robert_p_king I wouldn't worry too much about sticking exactly to conventional wisdom. 600km is when you need to start thinking about retiring them, but a lot of that depends on the quality of the show and the environment in which you do most of your running. Just make sure you keep your eye on them as they get more mileage under them.

    My girlfriend recently had a serious accident on one that required surgery, and my ex girlfriend broke her neck on one a few years ago! I was planning on getting myself another one after my last one was stolen, but I don't think I will now...

    First post on kbin. Sorry if this ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Still figuring things out.

    I don't think I'm ready to leave reddit completely, but I don't want to stay there. My compromise has been to bookmark niche subs that still don't have an active equivalent on fediverse or elsewhere. At the very least, I don't have to settle for the insufferable communities on reddit when better communities exist here. So long r/nintendo, r/pokemon.

    I find myself doing far less doomscrolling on one site now, and more popping into different places on different sites like I used to pre social media hubs. I might visit my hometowns sub or r/ADHD on reddit, read about current events or gaming news here, and pop into tildes for pleasant conversation. All in all, if there is one positive thing the reddit enshitening has caused, its for the web to feel less centralized and a little more like 2008's internet.

    and I can only hope this trend continues.

    @LSNLDN Yeah, it federated fine, but it's a kbin post made to a kbin community, so I thought it worth mentioning that it doesn't appear on the default tab of that community when viewed from kbin

    @Roundcat

    Ada,
    Ada avatar

    @Roundcat FYI, it looks like you did this as a "post" rather than an "article". Posts appear under the "microblog" tab in kbin and are grouped with content from Mastodon and other apps on the wider fediverse. Articles are what you want if you want the post to appear as a regular thread in a kbin/lemmy community

    @thedavemiester Well, this is the first time the fediverse has been how I first learned about a local disaster, so that's something...

    Meta officially launches Twitter rival Threads. 10 million have joined already (edition.cnn.com)

    Facebook has tried to compete with Twitter in numerous ways over the years, including copying signature Twitter features such as hashtags and trending topics. But now Facebook’s parent company is taking perhaps its biggest swipe at Twitter yet.

    @BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they're not, then that means that they're fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that's not a truth I want to face
