@dnc No, those look like inkcap mushrooms and are harmless. They tend to grow when the soil is moist and during times of higher humidity. The fungus breaks down organic matter and helps improve the quality of the soil, so there's no need to do anything - just let them die on their own. I've seen some great examples of mushrooms the last few weeks!
As we are starting this magazine/community from scratch, I'd like to hear if you have expectations or wishes for the direction of this sub. I'm open to all suggestions!...
Would love this to be a replacement for R**'s vegetablegardening sub. I've moved away from that site and looking for replacements, and that sub is one of the ones I really miss. So would also like this magazine to pull in related content across the Fediverse so we don't have to sub to multiple places.
Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it...
Yup, was at a party last night and of course someone had to mention the holiday in the US tomorrow (Juneteenth) with "A most ridiculous excuse for a holiday, but that's another discussion" right in the middle of a harmless conversation. Like he just had to say it.
Go back and check your content. I've seen some post where people are claiming Reddit rolled back and their deleted or changed content has all been restored. If that's true, it needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
Why would Reddit give a crap about Apollo related content when they themselves are putting Apollo out of business? Like, if you really don't care about the third party apps, then just continue to keep your back turned and just ignore them. Jeez.
I wrote code for industrial automation years ago (think assembly line machines). I was reviewing production code and found a stupid bug and fixed it, then reinstalled. The motors moved incorrectly - I don't recall if that was the time it smashed glass everywhere, but "fixing" the code definitely broke the program. I could not figure out why...but due to time constraints I sadly had reinsert the bug to put the machine back in production.
The problem with Team is it goes yellow when IT'S idle, not you. That was a big adjustment when we went to Teams, understanding that someone can be furiously working away at their computer while Teams is reporting yellow. You send them a message and BAM it goes green when they see the notification and read your message. Pretty ridiculous, really, since the bulk of the software is all Microsoft...why can't Outlook tell Teams, "Hey, she's writing an email, the icon says green, silly."
As a fed, anything plugged into a port is automatically logged and checked, and can result in a nastygram or more serious infraction. We periodically get emails about inappropriate connections - we can't even use the USB to charge our work phones.
Then came the email that told us they knew about X instances of mouse jigglers and told us to cut it out. I wonder if managers got notified.
Luckily my boss and colleagues all recognize Teams limitations on the idle status and we just get our work done. I'm not going to attempt to game it - but then I work when I say I'm working and the job gets done, so management isn't breathing down our necks about idle status.
After weeks of burning through users’ goodwill, Reddit is facing a moderator strike and an exodus of its most important users. It’s the latest example of a social media site making a critical mistake: users aren’t there for the services, they’re there for the community. Building barriers to access...
Fell down the rabbit hole of great links in this article that led me to others and others, and the whole concept of enshittification. Wow. Glad I lifted by tired Reddit head out of the sand. Still going through some withdrawals, but enjoying poking around Kbin, Mastodon and Squabbles the last few days.
I just went over and unsubbed to a bunch, too. Depressing how few seem to care. But to be honest, I probably just won't go back so unsubbing doesn't really matter.
This is a good idea. I joined Mastadon with the influx last November, got confused and didn't return until the current Reddit debacle. I'm trying harder now to understand, but what would have helped was 1) a simple guide to getting logged in and 2) finding content and 3) being able to view it and reply (including understanding if I was supposed to use hashtags, etc.). Get someone started with a short list of popular communities/magazines, THEN show them how to branch out. #trainingwheels
With Fediverse, we've come full circle. I started with dial-up BBS's in the 80's, creating ASCII art for forums. I remember using Unix talk in college to chat with my boyfriend at a different university and being so annoyed that if I couldn't type in his email address quickly enough to respond to a talk request, the connection would time out. Then all these centralized social media platforms, and now hopefully we're going back to a decentralized model that's much harder for individual people and companies to manipulate. Long live the Fediverse!

You can't drag some people away from #Twitter and #Facebook, but it's baffling how people will cling to what they know by denying the value and engagement to be found on the #fediverse.
All this buzz around #decentralized federated social media in the hands of motivated people trying to build healthy sustainable communities is filling me with the kind of excitement I felt when I discovered forums and IRC.
Another refugee here checking things out, figuring out how to share and interact. Boy I'd love to contribute on the development side by my coding expertise is definitely dated, lol.
Yup, the API debacle sent me searching and the AMA solidified it. Checking out Kbin today in advance of tomorrow's blackout. Hoping to be able to contribute here and help get this off the ground!

[CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com). (reddark.untone.uk)
As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public...
While trying to wrap my head around the concept of the Fediverse, I made this map. How did I do?
I put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy! (beehaw.org)

Take a bow, developers of kbin.social
Hats off, guys. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you guys to keep kbin.social up and running since yesterday....
anyone else "breaking reddit"
