I thought spez wasn't worried about reddit's bottomline with these protests?
What a weird way of showing that you're not concerned.

hmmm I do miss some European space on lemmy/kbin. Earlier today there was a question on what communities to add and it got closed even before Europe had woken up.

It's all still very USA-focused.

(Discussion) Would you pay for Reddit Premium IF it allowed you to continue using your favorite app?

I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked...

I paid for Reddit Premium. (have cancelled it now).

If the API would be full-featured (so including explicit content) and if I still don't get ads, I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount.

At least I would have before their CEO started burning bridges. Right now I'm done with reddit.

They're not getting my eyeballs nor my money anymore.

that's one thing I still remember after all of this. Popcorn still tastes good

How has ur lemmy experience been so far?

Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...

I'm still dipping my toes in. Got a bit confused early on, so now I have 2 accounts, one on beehaw.org and one on kbin.social, trying both out to see which interface I like best.

I'm also on mstdn.social and I have a pixelfed account somewhere :)

One thing that sticks out to me is that Lemmy-upvotes show up as "Favourites" on kbin, but upvotes on kbin don't show up on lemmy at all, as far as I can see.

You can use kbin as a mastodon thing too, from what I can see, but I haven't used it for that yet. I'd love it if I could attach my already existing Masto account to kbin, so that I could use kbin as the client for that account. But maybe that's a silly idea.

I feel indeed that those two should be switched. It makes more sense to have the 'favourites' be boosts instead of the upvotes. I wonder what the downvote is mapped to :)

And customers are savvy to this. So they adjust their ratings. Also, fuck those companies.

My library is huge, I don't have enough shelf space for all of my physical books, and on my ebook reader, I have a big kindle, humble bundle and bookfunnel library. I also have an offline ebook library.
I probably don't have enough time in my life to read all the books I want to read.

So I'm now pretty picky on what books I'm going to buy, rent, 'steal' or borrow.
