Don't even concern yourself with what reddit is doing anymore. Just try to build a rich community with content here. It's up to us to make conversation interesting and engaging here.
Fantastic essay on the difference between modernism, post modernism, and the new 'meta-modernism'. You can expect me to be posting geek videos like this across KBin lol
I originally had signed up for a few social media platforms in their early days but over time I felt that I wasn't seeing what I thought I wanted to see. As companies started tailoring their algorithms things started to get less relevant to my interests. As a result I left behind those platforms for a couple of years before...
Yeah I rotate between Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Discord and Telegram. Reddit was in there but I try not to go now.
I try not to go on Facebook either because there is literally zero content. All I ever read is like, this one girl I knew in highschool being manic and being reminded that it's my friend's birthdays.
Instagram has been stagnating too, none of my friends really post too much on there anymore and it's just ads.
TikTok at least pumps out that weird shit I crave, Telegram for news on Ukraine war from the trenches, and Discord to talk to friends.

Well, to be fair, Digg's hayday wasn't very long, and many people were used to migrating from place to place. EZBoards, SomethingAwful, Newgrounds, etc. Reddit was the first time where all of our interests were in one place, and we just kind of stayed. Many of us were there for like 15 years.
It feels weird and wrong not having Reddit. Gotta get over it, though.
Millions of people are contributing billions of views to chopped up movies and films, parcelled up and delivered to TikTok users’ homepages in random order. It's turning the platform into an ad hoc streaming service — and leading to the meme-ification of narrative.
Agreed. I think the move right now is to take niche topics to more "umbrella" mags, like instead of a world of war craft server, start a thread in gaming or pcgaming. Instead of a Philadelphia Eagles Mag, bring it to an NFL or Sports mag
Honestly, I think it will be important that instead of us hoping that niche topics pick up, we consolidate into umbrella mags to have our discussions. Instead of a World of Warcraft mag, talk in the videogames mag. Etc etc.
I've finally finished my exams, and now finnaly have some time to play. I was wondering what games I should try out? I usually end up playing for 30 minutes before losing my attention span, so I'm looking for a very immersive and simple to get into game. Anybody got any suggestions?
Apparently there's some sort of fix in the pipeline related to this, but at the very least, I'd like to be able to type kbin.social/m/kbinmeta and be redirected to kbin.social/m/kbinMeta
I've heard there's an official kbin app in very early stages. I don't know who's working on that, but it's not in the 2023 roadmap that Ernest has shared in the sidebar - and it rightfully doesn't need to be a main focus at this early stage. I know most people reading this have probably just gotten here as well, but I wouldn't...
