I'm a human being residing on planet Earth, and I'm composing this message in the English language.

What interesting things did you find from beehaw census?

I think people's interests/hobbies are much more interesting than there gender/country etc. Like:

  • Are you a dog person or cat person?
  • Do you think video games are too violent?
  • Do you believe in alternative medicine?
  • Toilet seat up or down?
  • Do you like beans?

Kbin User’s Guide?

Is there any basic user’s guide to Kbin? Much of it is intuitive, obviously. I’ve been using it for a while now without major issues, figuring out what I can with some trial and error. But I’m the type who enjoys knowing the details and features of things, while also being someone who feels confused af at GitHub and...

Unilever named ‘international sponsor of war’ by Ukraine (www.theguardian.com)

Unilever has been named as an international sponsor of war by the Ukrainian government after the Marmite, Dove and Domestos owner became subject to a law in Russia obliging all large companies operating in the country to contribute directly to its war effort.

Good you can add a slogan: wefwef - save your right hand for more important tasks ;-)

Honestly I like the name wefwef. It is easily searchable especially when it is not exactly easy to search things across the Fediverse.

Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’ (www.theverge.com)

Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.

In plain English:
"You are no longer allowed to provide us free labour."

Wake up mods!! You are working for Spez for free.

You can search by site using the "site" operator, for example:

"whatever you want site:lemmy.world"

All the results will be from/via the lemmy.world instance.

No more users intentionally make a typo to attract karma. I remember a post become very popular because the redditor "mistyped" flashlight as fleshlight.

Looks like Google is cutting costs from most of the projects, to save the funds for developing AI.

If Google loses the AI war, it is no longer going to be the de-facto search engine.

I have already been using Bing Chat a lot more than Google.

If you use Firefox, install the tampermonkey extension, and then install the following script:

There should be similar extensions for other browsers.

How do you select "tree view"?

I've been on kbin for a couple of weeks now and made a few comments. I'm interested in sprucing up my profile though and adding an avatar. But for the life of me, I can't see how to do that on my profile page. Can anyone point this dumb bunny to the right spot?

I also have no idea how to submit a post. I'm writing this one, but it feels more like a comment because there's no place for me to put a title.

Thx for any tips!

How did you upload the photo in your comment? When I click the "upload file" button, it just doesn't respond.

It is not a public service. Deals are made between companies all the time, so I don't see how this would break the law.

I only found out about the gesture today, it works but is kind of counterintuitive in my opinion.

Especially on the desktop, it is awkward to use the mouse for gestures.

I don't get the purpose of tap to collapse, when tapping the comment directly already does the job.

You really should try it. I found it faster than some native apps.

Laid back or not, you decide. Here is some information for your consideration about lemmy.ml admins:

Read right here if you don't bother to click the link and see the "flimsy evidence".

Here is one of the Lemmy devs denying that the Uyghur genocide in China is happening:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq954mu/

"The Uyghur genocide is as real as white genocide."

Here they are again denying it:

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/xq49ct/deleted_by_user/iq951cv/

"The holocaust was a genocide that actually happened, with all the evidence that goes along with it. There is no Uyghur genocide."

"Do you believe in anything as soon as the word "genocide" gets attached to it? What about "white genocide"? Are you a white genocide denier?"

And just so nobody can deny that parentis_shotgun is a Lemmy dev: -

"I'm one of the devs of Lemmy"

Direct links to the posts will not work but still exist on the user's profile page: https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/ - hold PgDn until comments stop loading then Control+F. In fact feel free to peruse their history in general - it's quite interesting.

One of my favorite posts is their defense of the government of North Korea in /r/AskTankies: https://old.reddit.com/r/asktankies/comments/tb1836/okay_but_dprk_seriously/i04d1wu/

Now ask yourself why would someone who is not a Red Fascist Tankie piece of shit be answering questions on behalf of Tankies in /r/AskTankies while defending a totalitarian regime? Is it... perhaps because they're in support of such a regime because they are in fact a Tankie piece of shit?

I don't think kbin has a save comment function yet.

You can probably change the first part of the URL to your instance URL:

A description of the community would be useful for people not having experience with your Reddit sub. And I link for those who want to subscribe.

Have you tried finding an instance that is close to your location?

I stopped using Facebook altogether because of that.

Reddit follows the enshittification.

Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances (kbin.social)

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...

The term "tankie" is a slang term used to describe a person who supports or apologizes for the actions of authoritarian communist regimes, particularly those that have used tanks or military force to suppress opposition or maintain control. The term originated from the Soviet Union's use of tanks to quell protests and uprisings, most notably the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the 1968 Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia.

While there may be varying interpretations and uses of the term, it is generally used pejoratively to criticize individuals who defend or downplay the human rights abuses, political repression, or atrocities committed by these regimes.

This issue is specific to the lemmy.ml instance. So lemmy.sdf.org should not be affected.

If the lemmy devs start blocking kbin by adding code, it would be time to fork the code.
