He probably finally googled himself and found the 32 million instances of "fuck spez" that pop up.

If posts are tagged nfsw, then they'll be blurred, but unfortunately people aren't consistently using the nsfw tag. Most of the nsfw content is coming from lemmynsfw.com - I've asked one of the admins over there if they can just auto-apply the tag to any post on their instance with media attached.

They replied that they are looking into it.

How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn't hard. Either it's a legitimate fee or it's not. I have a feeling they just don't want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

They are two disparate software that both work on the ActivityPub platform.

Lemmy is a thread aggregator(like reddit) only, where kbin does thread aggregation and microblogging(Like Mastodon).

Both software federates with others, so you can see lemmy communities on kbin, and you can see kbin magazines on lemmy.

Well, they have enacted an auto-mod removal of any post with "fuck spez" in it now. So, yea, they are actively censoring posts.

No offense, but what is wrong with the current icon? The purple folder looks great.

The way I understand it, is that advertising money is not put into NSFW content on the site, so by making every big sub NSFW they are effectively punching reddit in the wallet and trying to make their IPO fail.

So did r/shitposting. Their sub is a massacre right now.

Well, there is an exhaustive list of everything he's accomplished in his term so far; which is a lot.

It's interesting that this story is being picked up by business news sites now. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's at least catching the business world's attention.

My dude, be the change you want to see. Start the community, curate what you want to see there, set some ground rules, and people will join you. I guarantee your interests are shared with others.

Between SmartTube for my Chromecast, Vanced, and now ReVanced, I haven't seen an ad or sponsor on YouTube in years.

Thanks for the link. I don't know the story, but I find it interesting that these two devs are essentially being sponsored to develop Lemmy. What sort of incentive does the sponsor have for funding this development?

The same will happen with Relay for Reddit soon too. DBrady is still holding open the app, paying the costs for it, so that he can release a subscription model. I love Relay, but I (and I imagine others) won't pay a subscription for a stripped down version where majority of the $$$ goes to Reddit and not the developer... If he had an option to pay him directly I would consider it though.

I switched to thunderbird a little while back when they started adding advertisements that look like actual email into my paid for windows application. Nope.

I actually like sorting by 'New" on fedi - it promotes engagement in new content and it's generally decent content here as opposed to what you see in "new" on reddit...

20% of real human interaction is huge!

You mean like this one?

I guess the "won't effect accessibility apps" was also a blatant lie...

I'm glad they're making changes.

Today is the day we should hear definitively; one way or another. It will either help out 43 million Americans, or it will set a new precedent that anyone can sue regardless of being harmed. Should be an interesting day.

I've popped over to reddit a few times since this all started and the place is just a fucking black hole of anger and toxicity, every sub.

I don't even care that there is growing pains here as the platform literally crawls out of the womb - kbin is an infinitely better community already.

The new bot is just wrecking that sub, and gd hilarious.

You're willfully dancing around the actual point OP is making. You can't be a grown adult and think this concretely without doing so in bad faith.

The point is that opposing this is directly showing support for Russia...

There is far fewer things there that I don't support than those I do. Considering majority of that list were wildly popular, and in many cases supportive of basic human decency, I suspect it is less about my personal views than you're trying to make it.

A lot of these issues are open on the codeberg dev tracker - In the meantime, check out /m/kbinStyles for a bunch of user created userscripts that fix a lot of the issues people have with the UI/UX.

There is also no way to collapse comments...

Especially check out: @Artillect's Improved collapsible comments

If they're going to scab for removed mods - they kind of do deserve it.

/u/hariette is making a cross platform app for kbin that's aesthetic is inspired by Apollo.

Kmoon

Kbin works with Lemmy.

Even if it doesn't federate, I'd still like to see wide adoption of peertube for linking rather than youtube. A popular decentralized video host would be an incredible boon to the internet; offering a path that could potentially (eventually) lead away from YT.

This app looks really good. It looks almost exactly how I have my kbin account set up with scripts in a browser, and the gestures are very nice. - I hope it adds kbin support or one of the kbin apps ends up looking like this or better.

I'm confused, I didn't think foot fetish was common among men either? There is definitely a niche for everyone on the internet, but I was not aware that it was a common place interest.

Right. Android is still 70%+ of the world market.

There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month... (ICU Nurse)

I tend to agree. I don't think any of that activity should be public. It doesn't really serve a purpose anyway, and it is an easy metric to scrape for data collection on users...

They better start figuring out how to merge old accounts into the new ones then. There is about to be a shitton of email undelivered that was forwarded from old addresses to new addresses...

I've started more posts and added more comments through kbin in a week than I did in 12 years on reddit. The community is so much smaller and comments are actually read instead of lost in the sea of shitposting.

I'm noticing the opposite is true as well. There are communities on lemmy that have a lot of threads posted, but only 1 or 2 (or none) show up in kbin.

I'm very confused about the 'better counsel' part. Do you actually believe that iphones are a better phone?

Do you have a Chromecast? Install "smarttube" instead. It strips out all ads, and even has sponsor block built in so it skips sponsor stuff in video.

@couragethecowardlydog Yes, but it's a top non-politic internet story, and on literally everyone's mind who just jumped ship to kbin/lemmy.

And as strange as it is to say, people are also grieving for a loss. Reddit has been a daily addiction for many of us for a decade.
