Just one uncomfortably sentient and angry automobile on a road trip through the fetaverse.

themeatbridge,

Have you ever had a solid chocolate bunny? They make them, and they are terrible. You can’t even bite off pieces because it’s too thick. You have to gnaw on the edges and try not to drool all over it so you can save the uneaten parts for later. That, or use a knife to shave off pieces onto a plate and the eat it with a spoon, like a sociopath.

Chocolate is better in thin cross sections.

This has nothing to do with atheism or religion. I just want everyone to have realistic expectations should they ever discover the solid bunny and think they have found ambrosia.

The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android. (imgur.com)

The dev, @hariette, also has a Mastodon profile where she posts updates https://tech.lgbt/@hariette. There is also a link to the apps discord server in her bio.

So there you have it. Twitter under Elon is the inspiration for Reddit's new business vision. That explains so much of what we're seeing.

dipbeneaththelasers,

Oh, great, now that I'm off Reddit they go and create the perfect sub.

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

nivenkos,

They're really scraping the barrel now.

But the main thing we can do is move quality content here.

Enshittification: An explanation for why Reddit (and basically all corporate social media) is getting worse (pluralistic.net)

Hey everyone, I see a lot of people throwing around the term "enshittification" to describe the long-term and systemic decline of many of the centralized social media platforms, most recently Reddit. I commented this elsewhere, but thought everyone might benefit for reading Cory Doctorow's original article coining the term. The...

I enjoyed this 3-part interview with Cory about the subject: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/projects/enshitification

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a...

What are you're favorite FOSS games to play and why?

I love Endless Sky, it's honestly one of my favorite games! I have a pack of cool SciFi art that I found on Nexus and I've been slowly replacing the stock photos for my personal game. I'm also a sucker for TeeWorlds, it is delightfully infuriating and hillarious to play. I know that's baby's first FOSS games but I'm new to open...

Y’all: I have been wrestling with kbin on the fedia.io instance, but I want to take a step back and give some perspective. Kbin is new, it’s growing crazy fast, and it really wasn’t in a place to support the migration from Reddit. Despite that, @ernest has been working his tail off knocking down issues and helpings instance admins.

Reddit certainly seems to be tripling down on their position and I think kbin is shaping up to be a worthy alternative. If you like kbin (on whatever instance you use it on) and want to see it grow, may I ask that you throw some money Ernest’s way? (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin)

I want to publicly thank Ernest for kbin and for his contributions to our growing fediverse community.

/back to whatever you were doing.

@jerry Thank you, Jerry, that's very kind of you. Sometimes I lack words to express how much kindness I encounter here, and I know I often repeat it, but you are wonderful guys. Truly.

We have challenging times ahead. We need to cover critical functions in the code, develop better moderation tools, focus on performance, and create user-friendly documentation. By doing so, it will be much easier. And I intentionally use the word "we" because what is happening on Codeberg is absolute madness.

It definitely won't be easy for me either because I take this project very personally, but I need to delegate tasks and share the responsibility. Only in this way can we seize the opportunity that has unexpectedly appeared. An opportunity to build something special here.

Now I'm going back to bed. A series of emails woke me up, and I thought something critical was happening on the instance. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised :)

This is posted quite a bit, before all the comments come in, folks please check the community browser to see if it exists before creating one https://browse.feddit.de/
