Here to try and be social. Very strange as I'm not in real life. A bloke getting on in age, who has been round the block. Mentally, I may be ill, but I'm not as sick as those in charge of us. Let's laugh, or at least make fun of the idiots. Mostly here for fun, whatever that means?

Humour is subjective. Her awful performance and insane budget were not subjective.

I do adore a cover version that brings something new to the song;

Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday

Gotye - Somebody that I used to know - Dutch choir

Not quite a cover, but more of inspiration taken from Paper Planes - 'Paper Plates' by Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer

Brass Against cover Sabotage

Lorde - In The Air Tonight

Umbrella - Manic Street Preachers

Aurora - Life On Mars

Faith No More - Easy

Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant

Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Passenger and Dear Prudence

Cornershop perform Norwegian Wood

I could go on for ages. Might add some more later. Hope somebody enjoys at least some of these?

@evacide I hope they have included this wonderful artwork of him holding an erotic rat painting.

@luna I have to agree, it's like jumping from the frying pan and into the fire. I would avoid Discord.

Reddit is known for it's use of bots. Bots helped Reddit grow in its early days. I'm not surprised that bots are being used now. As more people leave, I'm sure more bots will get used to give the impression of an active community. Just lie they did in those early days.

I hope this is a bug, as my avatar looks so fat. It is playing with my frail ego.

Any new platform is going to have a learning curve, some more than others. But it's going to be as confusing or tricky as you want to make it. If you want to join and read every small detail about the inner workings, that's fine, but you may find blood leaking from your ears rather quickly. Just jump in, and get involved. That is the best and easiest way to learn. Yes, you may make some mistakes, or have to ask questions. But if people mock you for this, then you know the place you have joined isn't for you. As it's full of idiots.

Size isn't everything. I bet you have heard that before?

Actually, Reddit is too big. Go back ten years, then it was a good size. Before the tons of spam, reposts, onlyfans, owners hell-bent on turning Reddit into some Twitter freak shit show.

The magazines are growing faster than the content to fill them. I have lost count of the magazines I have gone to subscribe too, only to find no content. Hopefully this will change.

I am trying to stay well clear of magazines that keep mentioning Reddit. Science, sci-fi, mechanical keyboards, retro games, etc... have all been mentioned.

Rather than place all your energy into Reddit, a place that is slowly going down the toilet. Why not put your energy into making this place better? That's using your energy more efficiently. Make this place better, and people will move from Reddit.

Also, it seems a little rude, and awkward to use Kbin for nothing more than a place to organize protests to keep Reddit alive.

This is turning into such a shit show. I can see some group deciding to do some form of attack on Reddit, just for shits and giggles.

When the api stops being freely accessed, loads of bots will stop. The only ones using Reddit will be ones they have created, and that will be interesting to see what rubbish they spout. I bet we will see one bot going on the rampage saying 'Spaz is wonderful'.

It will be interesting to see how they deal with GDPR for us EU users.

I think I have done my rounds and checked out almost all alternatives. Many have good points, as well as bad. The thing that made me think the Fediverse is the place, is seeing actual debate. People actually stating sources for their opinion, then replies stating alternative sources, etc... No hate, just calm breaking down of viewpoints and decent scientific sources being used. I couldn't recall the last time I saw that on Reddit. I have been in that place for 15 or so years.

This made me explore the Fediverse, that was about six months ago. I explore any new place that pops up, mainly from curiosity. Some I really have hated, but what makes one place better over another can be subjective. So I am not going to hate on anyone that opts to move elsewhere. Life is too short for that shit. I moved to Kbin after exploring other places in the fedi-wotsit-time-continuum, for no other reason than it felt relaxed, and heading in the right direction.

Hopefully the porn bots will stay on Reddit.

Your hometown? It's vanished? That more a job for the police. Oh, you mean the magazine?

I wish my hometown would vanish.

@puniko It's not that easy.

Possibly a good idea, but I'm sure someone can moderate many magazines well? I just have never seen it, specially when talking about subs on Reddit. I guess limiting the amount of magazines you control is easier than generating some kind of way of removing them after an abuse of power?

I burnt my penis on a radiator. I ended up getting lucky, and after fell asleep with the woman in her bed. Woke up, and in my sleepy state walked into the radiator whilst naked. Woke her, and her two roommates, up with my swearing. It took a good few weeks for things to go back to normal.

Surely, the moment you posted this thread, your own title became a lie?
