Hey @ernest, I bought you a couple of coffees from your About page link and I've invited others to do the same. But is that enough? How do you handle all this traffic? Is buymeacoffe.com your only revenue source for this project? Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for your frequent updates and open dialogue.

Being able to easily replace the thing in the device that wears out fastest is a good thing.

Yeah, it's like buying a car without being able to change the tyres.

Nope, just drinking coffee.

The buymeacoffee link can be found in the About page at the bottom of the page.

Why Reddit Is Destined to Turn to Crap

Well, the question is not really "why" but "when". All big websites will eventually turn to crap, look a digg.com or even yahhoo.com or if you're old enough altavista.com just for a few examples.

Yeah and then their employees have to work almost 24/7 and sleep under their desk or get evicted from their workplace.

I've been on the Internet since I was 15 so in 1995. I was on ICQ, Usenet and other old technologies. Internet sure has changed a lot since. But I'm excited to be part of the fediverse, it is still in its infancy but I think it will become big. Hopefully not big enough to get riddled with adds or get bought by google or others.

eddit: for the old folks like me: geocities, hotmail and more "recently" digg

There is a link to buymeeacoffee.com on the About page at the bottom.

I have size but don't know what to do with it, can confirm women don't like that.

I thell you hwhatt, this is dang ol funny

Maybe you just said that by coincidence but I created a community for #SouthPark here: https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark

If you like the show please don't hesitate to suscribe.

It's late where I am. I'm still laughing though, thank you very much :-D

"No money" well, there can be some if you donate to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin as per the About page at the bottom of the page.

@lurkeymclerkface I thought simply https://kbin.social/ was an equivalent of /all. Unless you specified in your preferences that you only wanted articles from your own subscriptions.

I don't know, I use uBlock Origin for Chrome (not sure if there are equivalents for other browsers) and I never see adds from my desktop, with a free account.

It does not scrap out sponsor babble but it definitely blocks youtube adds.

I think a lot will change but I agree with you for the site staying relevant for many more years. It will just not be as good as it once was (and I say that with a 14 years old reddit account). It has been slowly going down for a long time, now there is a quick mini downfall but business will continue as usual until thy've squished all the money they could get out of it. And then it dies.

Theres a buymeacoffee.com link in the About section at the bottom of the page.

Yep, I feel like I'm 20 again (born in 1980, been through BBS, dialup, ADSL, cable, altavista.com and many other things)

OK, I saw that, but most of the content of lemmynsfw is not tagged as NSFW. How do I block a complete instance?

edit: I just realised that I was answering to the same person who asked the exact same question, sorry. Still new to this

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!

(and if you like Seinfeld join https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld)

No I am not :-) Thank you so much, this is the answer.

Do I have to host the image on imgur or some other host and then post a link or an article?

Sorry my comment got posted twice, it was not my intention, I think it's due to a bug.

I'm the creator and at the moment sole moderator (so totally partial) of those three:

https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark
https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld
https://kbin.social/m/Curb

How do you know they came back? Do you see them agin in your profile? I used Power Delete Suite and except for 2 subreddits I can see no posts I made over the 14 last years in my profile? How do I make sure they have actually been deleted?

I'm sorry

:-D Don't be, I'm glad you got the information out for everyone here without giving too much traffic to reddit. Thank you for your answer.

This was an interesting read, thanks for sharing. Let's just hope the blackout of main subreddits will last forever. Two days accomplishes nearly nothing. A protest or even a revolution should only end when the leaders capitulate, die or actually start listening to their people and works things up together.

How do you do that as a normal user, I can't seem to see it my preferences.

Well, no dialog box show up, that's the thing.

Ok thanks, I'll try that, however the image I'm trying to upload is from reddit, I don't want to give them more traffic. I will try via imgur or such for just a while until they solve their server transition.

edit: yeah now I get this message:

We are working on resolving the issues

Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time.

OK so I managed to upload the picture, now how to figure out to show a normal proportion of it (in the preview) and not some stretched thing from the early 2000's TV. https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld/t/63926/Leeland-and-Kramer-reddit-and-the-mods

But I see you have similar troubles (with the stretching) so maybe it's not implemented in kbin yet. Anyway thank you for your very valuable input. I still feel stupid but I learn, bit by bit.

This guy is going to overdose on caffeine, they should make a website buymeasaladandaskyr.com

I actually used the + button to add an Article (not photo, maybe it's broken right now but it didn't work for me) and then in the little icons left to the add button (as @FfaerieOxide suggested) I linked my picture. The rest is just filling the normal fields.

@GuyDudeman

@KoalafiedPonki

Very good explanation, just to add to this, kbin has both "threads" like in reddit and microblogs (like in mastodon or tweets on twitter) which is very confusing at first.

Yeah I'm not a native english speaker but I get where you're going to :-)

edit: buymevegetablesandaskyr.com can you turn that dirty?
2nd edit: having your salad been tossed is not such a bad thing, could motivate @ernest, although I know where to buy coffee and skyr but not where to get my salad tossed. OK, time to go to bed.

OK I must admit I'm very old in Internet time and I didn't get that they were not talking about a simple navigator on desktop. I do have a smart vaccum cleaner robot which is not a roomba, although I managed to connect it to my wifi and I can control it from an app on my smartphone. Just trying to keep up.

Yeah ok, thanks for your answer I'm slowly starting to see more clearly now.

Do you like cuttlefish and asparagus?

It won't die, it will just become lots of cats videos and girls in bikinis doing hoola hoop, like a TikTok clone. Or maybe it'll turn full Voat and descend down into a fire pit of far-right racists fascists.

Thanks for the explanation, this was useful but I still can't grasp how to see posts or articles from other instances in the fediverse. Is it through tags? How exactly similar content created on lemmy.world for example can appear on a magazine devoted to the same topic over here?
