dang same I'm way more engaged here and I spend less time it's a huge win win and it just feels healthier

I'm so tired of governments bending over backwards to help billionaires while ignoring average people

I'm so tired of valuing people based on their net worth. these double standards are disappointing and honestly disgusting. I'm disgusted by our current politics and economics

damn, dude is hella based

hello from the admin of fedi196.gay!
we're a smaller kbin instance so you can use us to guage federation, everything seems to be working perfectly 😄

is the guy in the first pic the one who went to the bottom of marianas trench?

it's because they aren't talking about users, it's shareholders. shareholders don't stand to gain near as much ad revenue from the endless algorithm induced scrolling. executives and shareholders hate chronological feeds, not people

it's the for lease sign
it's very common for landlords to "renovate" by doing a crappy paint job then raise the rent

no please, I'm on kbin
it doesn't have proper bluring support yet 😭

yep! kbin fully supports microblog content and all kbin posts appear as they should on mastodon

either chocky milk or water
but femboy milk is a good alternative

I'm banning this troll from my instance lol

@llama
it's because it's the law :3
we all follow the rule because the great goblinhog decreed it
the rule is good, the rule is life

196 is by far my favorite community, idk what i would do without it

awesome post!
just wanted to add that kbin has full support for alt text, so anyone on kbin, please take the little bit of time to fill out the alt text for any images you post
it's a small bit of work that can make all the difference for someone who needs it

I'm using porkbun for my instance and it's been great
my domain renewal was half google domain's offering price

it's made by the same people but it's way more gay 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
I love it soooo much and I might watch it all again lol

i use kbin because I don't like lemmy's devs 🙃
bonus points that it actually deletes things

literally me 4 days ago deciding to run a kbin instance in spite of there being literally no documentation

based

innovative idea

Obsidian is hella based

alien historians after finding this and not one of them knows what a grape is

hey, I'm @ivy and I'm the admin on fedi196.gay
I would totally be open to you using my instance if you would like. Kbin gives you the option to either upload an image or link to a preexisting image on the internet. depending on how they're stored on your end, if you already have it on a server you could link to it. if not my instance has 80gb of storage and I'm going to be setting up object storage with storj as soon as it's possible so I could easily handle a good deal of content. I've done my best to make this server as cost effective and reliable as possible so it should be pretty safe on here. if you want to follow up, please get in touch and we can get things sorted out

if its with me, you're going to have to put up with playing risk, and you're going to need to like it because it may wind up going for six hours :3

psa: if a trans girl invites you for boardgames and chill, she really does mean playing boardgames the whole time XD

found the min/maxer :3
but yeah, if you play the game proactively you can prevent a bunch of the hard choices
I found just playing the game at normal speed with no pause can definitely spice it up and made me feel like a desperate administrator just trying to make everything good enough

I'm on glitch soc instead of mastodon and I've liked it a lot
it pretty much fixes most of my biggest gripes with mastodon and I hide the counters anyway because the number isn't very important to me

you see.. that's the thing..
there are a good amount that don't do any maintenance, and if they do it'll be shitty and they will hike the rent

I have the feeling things are going to get bigger here on fedi196.gay very soon and its quite possible we'll be taking the meme niche of the fediverse

it's so nice getting to just be ivy
it's my name and it's so gosh darn nice seeing and hearing it used

hey from a smaller kbin instance :3

vs code is a text editor which can be extended to be an ide with extensions for a specific language

C++ is pretty hard to set up and debug without a specialized ide, so if you want to get into low level programming i wound recommend rust. rust's documentation is fantastic, the compiler helps you and it protects you from some of the worst bugs that can arise in c++

fixed it :3

I don't know about this app in particular but if it fully implementes kbin's api it should work

holy shit its the slenderman, and he's cooking hot dogs on the stove?

I had a similar experience on my first playthrough
spoiler:
||when the stuff with the mines happened in a new home I was actually devastated for the volunteers||

also somehow the game managed to make me feel cold while I played lol

I wasn't aware that it worked
I am working on an app myself but it's going to be about a month
kbin still doesn't fully have an api so any apps are going to have to wait until it's development is underway

I'm like the shy guy scp but for litter
if you litter:
I will come for you
I will find you
there is nowhere you can run
when I find you I will [DATA EXPUNGED] you and your family and [REDACTED]. I will feel nothing but joy as I carry out the process and you will never litter again you filthy liter bug

@nuz
I need thisssss

it's just because the mod tools aren't where they need to be yet and beehaw does a lot of work to protect minorities. the mods weren't really happy with having to defederate and they plan on refederating once the tools are better or we get settled in

Rock and Stone to the bone!

ah darn, now I gotta make an icon for fedi196
thanks /j

I'll get around to doing that eventually lol
