A friendly wave, a void of shapes and colors, souls lost forever within the confines of their own cage until set free. Come take my hand and we can make the world a better place. Spread your wings and you too can fly. Fly with me.

Careful with Hive. It is perfectly positioned to suffer the exact same fate as Twitter if it is allowed to grow. Then we have learned nothing and it all just repeats. Never mind that the app is absolutely atrocious both from a data security standpoint and an accessibility standpoint.

It's alright. I do think the actual issue was worded perhaps a bit harshly and combative, and I think you responded correctly. Very much appreciate the accountability here. To be honest if anything, this probably gives me more faith in you in the long run. There are many ways you could have dealt with it, but as far as I can see you've dealt with the issue as honorably as you could have.
Proper attribution can be tricky. We all learn. We all make mistakes. A lot of us will never release a project that makes it as far as yours has so even our issues don't become even nearly as visible.
Keep your head up and stay calm. You're doing great. We got you.

Reddit doesn't have to die. This place just has to be comfy enough for us to stick around. Not everything is growth over everything.

Not going back. Here to stay for sure. No matter what.

as someone with sight problems, I could not agree more.

maybe I'll eat my words later but I doubt it'll be quite as big. I think a lot of people are underestimating just how little the average person cares, or knows to care. Been through the twitter migration, the reddit migration, and in both instances it wasn't really a migration, it was more like a few people split off the main group and found a nicer home for themselves. And honestly, I think that's enough.

Thank you!

The music towards the end aaa

mm. Might have been a getting started from the ground up kind of setup guide and the author might be most familiar with that. But happily it seems like there's docker files in the main repo, including docker compose files, so that should make it quite easy to set up.

Give it time to settle down. Mastodon vs. Pleroma vs. Misskey, and recently Akkoma vs. Calckey, etc etc etc. all of this stuff isn't really new. Use this. No use that.
Just use what you like. I prefer /kbin. Likely will always. If someone judges me for using a software they don't, then I probably didn't want to talk to them anyway.
Also keep in mind that /kbin was in very, very slow development for a very long time before a lot of things all happened at once. Very much a passion project. Like this is someone building a shed in their garage for their garden except somehow now suddenly 50 thousand people are in your garden and they all want in.

It seems like a small thing you said on the side, but it is really important that you actually understand and can explain the code it gives you that you're copying into your project. Otherwise you're taking in an unknown, unmaintained and unexplained dependency, and that can lead to problems once that dependency fails.

The /kbin website as a PWA on my phone. Lol

Why do we want another reddit? Why don't we want something better/different/more engaging than reddit? Reddit has made the mistakes, we can learn from them. And even better, we don't have angels to make happy at the end of it all. Just us.

Wait. I'm looking at the Pixelfed installation guide right now and it doesn't tell me to use Arch at all? Isn't it just a PHP app?
