Russian and Chinese authoritarianism is bad. America incarcerates more people than both. A French cop shooting a 17 year old during a traffic stop is probably also not a useful use of state force. I could be wrong, but I hope this answers your question.
Unless Elon is a secret jujitsu guy Zucks wins this easy. Zuckerberg actually trains. Both suck and billionaires as a class shouldn't exist. But as a big MMA fan for 20+ years and knowing Zuckerberg actually takes it moderately seriously, Elon gonna tap.
Honestly fuck reddit. I was so tired of it, but there was nowhere else to go. At least I can develope a more healthy relationship with social media here
Why am I negative in my reputation? I have not made any posts of comments that are negative (accept for maybe a small one or two but it would have been like 4 to 6 or something). Why am I -46 when I have a highly upvoted thread?
All hail Ernest! He's probably scared stupid right now (I'm so sorry Ernest. I have a name irl that gets made fun of also). But yeah jokes aside buy that man a coffee, donate, help him out. He's living in the game changer world right now
I understand what you're saying, but in the broader scheme of the internet we should have the ability to dictate what of our data and actions get broadcast and therefore able to be mined by advertisers or other nefarious entities. This is actually a hugely important idea in fighting the corporatization of the internet. We need to stop letting mega corps build profiles on us based on our clicks.
I still don't really understand what your dissatisfied with. You said something about people downvoting too much? Say you see someone who is downvoting in a way you don't like. What is your recourse? Why do you want that information?
For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful...
I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...
Meh. I used reddit since about a year after its launch. I noticed the last two days my thumb reaching for the reddit app on my home screen. But then I pause, remember I deleted rif, and just log into kbin and try to be active. Right now sorting by new has been amazing. Lots of new magazines (shout out to the one I made tvsuggestions).
I think you can get the reddit dopamine hit by being active on kbin. Investigate! Explore the site! Make a zine!
The plus side is I'm using it way less than reddit while simultaneously being way more active on the medium. Win win
There will be. For now the mobile version is usable. I just threw a link to it where RiF used to be. But yeah stay at it. The more engaged we are the more need for a polished mobile app there will be. Donate, use the medium, etc. Mobile app can't possibly be too far out.
As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a...
Honestly large scale things like this sort of organically self organize and evolve. I'm sure some people will be the old Reddit people, some will be new, etc etc. I started using reddit around a year after its launch and was super active. Over the years my interaction with reddit became mindlessly browsing. Kbin has been fun because I'm way more motivated to be active as it's a new, exciting community.
I think we should all just be friendly and let things go how they go. That's pretty much what's going to happen anyway. I like that people here generally seem nice and thoughtful though.
I'm pretty well versed in the bdsm culture, but I've always wanted to read more literature on the subject. Are there any deep dives or even academic papers to look at? Specific subject matter can be whatever, but I'm mostly curious about articles that delve into WHY some people enjoy BDSM and others don't.
I'm a big fan of the podcasts Aethuran: Dark Saga and Tale of the Manticore. I also love the OG Diablo video game. I'm looking for tv shows that are similar. The only ones I can think of that fit are Berserk and Castlevania. I enjoy anime, but I'd like some live action stuff also.

Question about reputation
Why am I negative in my reputation? I have not made any posts of comments that are negative (accept for maybe a small one or two but it would have been like 4 to 6 or something). Why am I -46 when I have a highly upvoted thread?
Looking for a magazine for audio fiction creators to network and work together
I believe reddit had something like that. I know there is already audiodrama and podcast magazines (or are we colloquially calling them "kbins"?)
Looking for good "sword and sorcery" tv shows. Game of Thrones, Berserk, etc.
I know there are many "medieval" shows, but I want the fantasy element included also. So no The Kingdom type shows.
Mutoid Man - Call of the Void (2023) (open.spotify.com)
New single from Mutoid Man. First song with the new bass player.
As for now, upvotes, downvotes and boosts are public on kbin
On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you'll get the info....
Long and short term, which features would you like to see implemented?

OC Any other former redditors feeling grief?
