Seems like not a whole lot has changed over these centuries.

Wish granted. You have 24 hours.

From what I can tell, this is all kbin. The user is @kbin and this is a kbin magazine.

I feel like you're on Lemmy and didn't realize this is all kbin lol.

Unless I'm wrong and missing something, let me know!

Edit: nevermind, I just understood what you meant with your message. You can disregard mine lol.

I want to try something... Less involved in getting me on more lists.

Honestly, people posting unrelated trash to subreddits with new moderators would be good. A dozen new moderators against thousands of non-bots just posting shit to reddit would be fun to try to moderate.

Not even rule breaking stuff so you can contribute more than once. Like submitting wikihow articles for laying down floor tiles in TIHI. and upvoting other posts that don't belong.

So many nice little stuff like this for desktop even though im 90% on my phone. Still commenting so I can find this later when I'm desktop as this looks nice!

To be honest, some days I feel like the sun is my weakness as much as a vampire. Especially with summer coming up.

I don't know about a wooden stake, but once ate a woodman's steak which I'm sure hit my liver at some point through the digestive process.

Literally the only reason I chose kbin over lemmy.

Lawyer pretty told me to ALWAYS lie about previous drug use

Would actually be hilarious if you're clean.

"Have I ever smoked marijuana? Well, no, I haven't. So I better lie about this and check 'yes' just like my lawyer advices."

Exactly. Whereas mastodon is for microblogs (Twitter basically). And the Instagram one.

Basically reddit admins said they will remove mods that don't open the subs back up.

Mods opened the subs and took a poll.

A) open like normal

B) only allows submissions of sexy John Oliver.

I think r/pics and r/gifs both did that. Not sure about any others. The vehement majority voted only sexy John Oliver posts.

So now the subreddits are technically open. And posts like this are what are filling them.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't mind as long as there are no victims and no one is actually hurt.

But I also won't lose any sleep if the content is banned by communities that don't want that (such as kbin.social if that happens to be the case).

Yeah this is definitely step 5 type of deal. A while ago, they stopped adding api features for apps. So most apps couldn't add any functionality. And not only that but even if you do somehow keep access to the api, you can't do so with NSFW content. So they also took away something from api access.

Then there was the thing where apps couldn't start with the name Reddit (like Reddit Boost had to turn into Boost for Reddit). I think Reddit is Fun was okay because it sounded less like an official app and just describing reddit or something. Not sure why they got to keep it.

The whole new reddit redesign to feel more like Facebook is just gross.

All the 9,000+ awards that meant nothing? Like you get a free one a day and maybe you get the wholesome one so you ironically give that award to a post about dying animals or something. So many posts just have so many random "awards" that it just feels like jingling keys in front of us to keep us engaged.

Reddit may not be dead yet. Maybe not for a while. But I'm not going to be holding on to the very last second. It's been getting worse for a long time and this was just a good excuse to jump before it gets worse.

It will be fun to see what changes they make to moderators due to the blackout of this highly unpopular decision that they refuse to back down from.
