Think about things from the point of view of someone who has never used Reddit or the fediverse, but you've heard about them both from recent news articles and want to see what they are about....
I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how...
I’m upvoting your comment because you bring up great points, but I personally disagree with the disengaging from world events aspect. I’ll miss the niche subreddits that helped you solve the most random of issues, but I think reddit was far from a great place to disengage from news and the political discourse brought by news. Ever since the 2016 election cycle, I personally saw a considerable increase of posts regarding politics that came from both established subreddits and new ones that popped up (like /r/enoughtrumpspam which simply added more spam to the pile).
I think Trump’s campaign and presidency really ignited a lot of this, and while I neither like nor support Trump, I miss when the biggest disruptions were from isolated events (like the Occupy Wall Street movement or the Ellen Pao fiasco) rather than 4 years of a presidential tenure.
After years of nonsense, it all just got tiring. You can curate your reddit experience, but what happens when all the political doom scrolling finds its way into your favorite subreddits?
Kbin and the rest of the fediverse will grow, and I’m aware that the same kind of posting will find its way here, too. Thankfully the fediverse lets you subscribe to multiple communities of the same name, so maybe /m/news isn’t up one’s alley but /c/news is, for example.
I didn’t realize how shit reddit was getting until I stopped using it. The constant barrage of political shit accompanied by low effort comments/puns did a number on my happiness. I stopped using Facebook for similar reasons.
I’m glad you’re also adopting the mindset of being an active contributor. For years I also just would scroll and seldom upvote, but if we want to make “this house a home”, we need to put in the effort ourselves! I look forward to seeing how this all plays out. So far, I am very optimistic. I hope you find your niche interested here sooner than later!
It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
Loan term refers to the total life of the loan. A 10 year term would mean you could pay off the loan in 10 years through making minimum payments.
Are you referring to an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)? That’s what’s they’re called in the USA. ARMs haven’t made a lot of sense in most cases as of late.
What does lending look like there? Do you all do 30 year mortgages too? Do you have an option for a fixed rate mortgage?
A man armed with explosive materials and weapons, and wanted for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was arrested Thursday in the Washington neighborhood where former President Barack Obama lives, law enforcement officials said.
I do have genuine concern about radicalized individuals doing crazy shit like this, but I think it’s at least some solace that they’ve so far been morons.
I’m doing my part by hosting a bondage magazine (/m/bondage) on kbin. I spent 11 years getting all this free porn from /r/bondage, and I think that if we all take an active role in posting our favorite types of nsfw content and help foster its growth through interacting with other posters, this’ll all go well.
At the end of the day, we just need to work towards having new content daily for people to look at.
I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
I know this has always been an issue for the nearly 12 years I’ve used reddit, but I’ve seen a lot more of the smug redditor comments than normal that remind me of this guy’s skits. Usually I’d only see larger instances of smug know-it-alls when someone brings up religion (since some reddit atheists can’t help themselves), but I’ve personally been seeing more smartass remarks on the weirdest of things.

OC Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted
Think about things from the point of view of someone who has never used Reddit or the fediverse, but you've heard about them both from recent news articles and want to see what they are about....
How can you find out who hosts a particular instance? I’ve been loving Kbin but have no idea who started it!
I would ideally like to follow their profile and see about future updates.
Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.

OC Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

The cheapest mortgage rate I can get today is 9.13% which is insane. What's the lowest rate you can get?

OC Porn Historically Decides Tech Adoption... Fediverse?
Historically, porn has organically decided which platform or formats become dominant. It's incredibly anti-censorship, but walks many fine lines....
Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?
