Yeah, paxlovid is the only real answer. Makes you taste metal, but it's a miracle drug for knocking out covid symptoms. Depending on where you live, you can 'test to treat' where if you test positive they give you a prescription for free (or cheap).
If you didn't know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.. I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them....
Now I can click it and add anything in the front of the search to find things across the entire reddit-like fediverse. I tried the same with DuckDuckGo and it didn't really work? Might need different formatting.
I find these fascinating so I'm just doing a quick lil check on whether there'd be enough people interested in consuming/producing content for such a thing....
I am exploring Lemmy right now and what I see is very worrying to me, but I also don't understand wth is going on with some instances here. I don't know if it's smart to post this, but here we go....
Beehaw doesn't lean far right at all. They blocked lemmygrad for being authoritarian (i.e. pro North Korea), not for being on the left.
From one of Beehaw's stickied posts: "We want to explicitly make a nice little corner of the internet where we can hide from racist, sexist, ableist, colonialist, homophobic, transphobic, and other forms of hateful speech."
I have accounts in and made bookmarks for kbin.social, fedia.io, beehaw.org, and lemmy.world, and I switch between them to get most of my reddit-alike fix. When I find a community/magazine that suits my fancy, I subscribe to it from fedia.io since it's good about showing external content. When I need to find something niche, I search browse.feddit.de and subscribe to it from fedia.
Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
I'd like better ways to discover external communities/magazines from kbin, tho. I'm finding it easiest to make an account on each of the major lemmy/kbin instances and browse them each in turn.
When I find one I really like, I subscribe from kbin, but I also like to browse things I'm not subscribed to and it's hard to do that for the entire reddit-alike fediverse from within any one instance.
Right. I can imagine someone with the pushshift-equivalent data of a fediverse server simply creating a new server with that data (kbin goes offline? Kbin2 gets started by a particularly motivated individual). I daydream, sometimes, of doing similar with the 2tb of reddit comments/submissions collected by pushshift... (can't do it now, obviously, cause I'd get sued, but maybe give it another few decades?)
Hi there! I've been trying to improve the situation for the past few hours. I managed to disable CF Protection, and as you can see, I'm gradually allowing traffic from the fediverse. There may still be delays in deliveries and posts for some time. If anything is particularly troublesome, please let me know through the contact...
I just want to comment that it's so refreshing to see a post that's heavily downvoted but not hidden away. This just got me so excited for kbin. It feels like the old webforum experience, where people said controversial things and it sparked discussion and new ideas, not an echo chamber where everyone's smelling their own farts.
I agree with the 5/8ths majority that's against you, and that isn't a reason for you to feel shame or me to feel smug. It just is. It's beautiful.
How did you treat COVID-19?
I’ve just finally contracted it for the first time. I’m vaxxed and multiple-times-boosted, so it’s not that bad…...
Just found out that DuckDuckGo can be used to search Fediverse sites easily.

I know this has been done before, but here's a 1:1 scale 3D print of my actual brain. The hospital that did my MRI let me have the files. (i.imgur.com)
Would people be interested in a community focused on various AI developments?
I find these fascinating so I'm just doing a quick lil check on whether there'd be enough people interested in consuming/producing content for such a thing....
What's with the schism between lemmygrad and beehaw?
I am exploring Lemmy right now and what I see is very worrying to me, but I also don't understand wth is going on with some instances here. I don't know if it's smart to post this, but here we go....
I definitely think r/gaming has the biggest banger of a privated notice

The former Fox News host has received a cease-and-desist letter from the network following the launch of his new show on Twitter.
Reddit blaming website crashing on subreddits going private (www.theverge.com)

What would happen if kbin's admin (ernest), or any other admin of a server( by that I mean Mastodon, Lemmy, not an instance of kbin) one day decided he's going to pull a spez?
For kbin in particular, what would happen to an instance's Magazines(subreddits), the communities would just go poof?...
Pssst... any ideas for a domain name for the new instance?
