Thanks for the reminder! I saved a bunch of interesting and useful stuff with that interface, I should definitely grab it all before I go.
I'm still conflicted about deleting my accounts tbh. I shared a few useful things on Reddit, and even followed up on questions that I'd later answered for myself. Someone might find it useful, and it seems a shame to take it back just to spite a corporation.
I downloaded all my old comments and I'll certainly use them as a resource here if the same questions come up again. It'll be a while before kbin.social shows up in search engines the way Reddit does, though.
I hope enough interesting people stick around to keep the threadiverse fun.
Kbin's an alpha product. It'd only just been released when Reddit went Hinamizawa on us, and despite the alpha snags it seems to be serving lots of us pretty well already. It's amazing for an open source project to have this much interest and excitement out of the gate, and I hope that continues… maybe not at the same pace, though. ernest needs coffee, but ernest also needs sleep.

Although my first anime was back during early childhood (back when anime programme block was a regular thing in Indonesian television). Vulcan just really started following anime seriously during junior high school back in 2012 (classmates are into Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online during that time, and we often chatted about...
That's pretty amazing, and also makes me a little jealous because it's been out of print ever since I got into Leiji Matsumoto. I'm of the generation that was introduced to the Leijiverse through Rintaro's Galaxy Express 999 movie. I think appreciation's been gathering the last few years (we've had multiple manga releases, and Discotek brought out the entire GE999 series) so there's hope yet!
A couple of school friends were obsessed with Bubblegum Crisis. It took a long time for them to get me to watch any anime – the Patlabor movie was the first thing I saw – but I'd been hearing them talk about it (and post on forums, and maintain Geocities fan pages, and draw and draw and draw) for so long that I was practically brainwashed by their enthusiasm.
And yet: it was years before I saw Bubblegum Crisis itself. 🤣 I think the first fansubbed series I got around to watching was a terrible DivX copy of Angelic Layer, which still has a place in my heart. (The first e-sports anime! CLAMP! A toy tie-in you'll wish could be real!)
I re-watched Outlaw Star when the Blu-rays came out. I'd forgotten most of the story but wow, not the tunes: I was a little emotional seeing the OP & ED again.
Always on the lookout for light, fluffy shows like these. Strawberry Marshmallows. Thanks to the Kickstarter we rewatched Aria over the pandemic, and I credit it for keeping total misanthropy at bay.
Hakumei & Mikochi is a recent one that feels close in spirit. I started re-reading the manga the last few nights and it's that same positive slice-of-life energy.
Yeah, it's been hard getting any otaku fandoms going in the Fediverse, and Holo's an especially fragmented one.
@AlbertScoot just an idea but it might help to add some tags to this magazine so we start pulling in microblog posts. I bet there are people occasionally posting things to places like urusai.social and sakurajima.moe who'd love to join us here if they knew about it. (Ahem: may have to wait until the server situation calms down a bit, though! 😆)
Yeah, a lot of the hands-on reviews talk about the apparent permanence of objects in Vision Pro – that they don't shift about like objects in ARKit and other implementations. That alone would make a huge difference for applications like this.
I had a similar experience. (Almost the opposite preferences, but a similar experience anyway!)
I think it only makes sense once you've tried a couple of different profiles to learn what your fingers like. After that it almost feels like a cheat code.
Ah, you must be in AU. We got Magi a bit earlier in the US. I wonder if that's related to you dropping it: I remember it being a very strong series, but it's always more fun to watch with others.
And yep, pretty much every item in this list got a "Nooo… that was 10 years ago?!" from me. I think the covid period permanently addled my sense of time.
The nearest I've been to trying it was in this post which links directly to a thread on another instance. It didn't do anything special, and I think it might've been more confusing than beneficial.
It's a low enough priority for now that I'm waiting a bit before bringing it up in kbinMeta, but would be nice to improve that some day.

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely (www.theverge.com)
This will get interesting.
A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here....
