2 Kings 2:23-24: A story about what happens when you make fun of bald dudes

Accountability, yes! The lack of accountability from moderators to users on Reddit was the main reason I already had one foot out the door before the whole API fiasco. I haven't seen it in use yet, but Kbin seems to have a moderation log for magazines that makes moderation activity more transparent. Only time will tell if that is enough.

Even the concept of such an agreement runs partially against the way the Fediverse is designed. Kbin is merely a piece of software that anyone can run on their own servers, so "top level rules" are the rules the instance owner sets for their own instance. The Fediverse is by design decentralized to limit this kind of thing.

I'm not completely sure about this, but I suspect a bot wouldn't even need to hook into an API on Kbin, thanks to the ActivityPub protocol.

The players will find all the bugs Bethesda obviously missed and patch them.

Just keep scooping. And scooping. And scooping. Eventually, you'll get to the point where you're picking individual duckweeds out with your fingers. It's labor-intensive.

The only other thing I can think of is having high flow, which duckweed is supposed to dislike. You could potentially kill it off and let the critters in the tank eat it.

This is honestly really impressive. 6261 subreddits have gone dark out of 7265 so far. Source: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Yeah, especially those big ones like r/funny. I'm disappointed at how many subreddits have chosen to not go dark, however.

It's 12:02 and I have uninstalled the Reddit app. Kbin or bust, baby, and to heck with Spez!

Instance migration would definitely be a useful feature.

On my Android phone, I loaded Kbin in Firefox, tapped the stacked dots, and then tapped "Install". This gave me a PWA to use.

As someone new to this platform coming straight from reddit, ELI5 what's exactly a microblog?

@subz I believe it's like a tweet.

Never heard of Manifold Markets before. Thanks for giving me a new timewaster.

Spez is a sitting duck who will get plucked off the moment the company goes public

This, exactly. After that disastrous AMA, I wouldn't be surprised if any venture capitalist or other large investor interested in the company insisted on Spez stepping down as a condition for their investment.

I've heard that ortholinear keyboards are more ergonomic than traditional keyboards. Do you find this to be the case?

I saw a fountain pen for sale at OfficeMax back in 2021 and bought it on a whim. I got hooked after visiting r/fountainpens and learning that I can put a nearly unending variety of ink colors in it. Now I have a bunch of pens and several years worth of ink.

BaldProphet,

Yeah, it can definitely be a money-sink. On the other hand, there are a number of very high-quality Chinese pens that can be acquired cheaply. I've found that I spend more on ink than I do on pens.

Only, now I'm super paranoid about ever boosting anything.
I'm kinda feeling the same way. If I'm going to boost something, it had better be pretty darn important or useful. That's probably a good thing because it means the threads and comments that are boosted are more likely to be higher quality.
