I really like kbins layout/structure, it’s like a mix of reddit and twitter and with some optimization could really be something special.

That old George Carlin bit is more relevant than ever:

This is a good example, it’s a hydrophone recording of a glass sphere imploding, the level of sound and echo should give you a good idea of the kind of forces we’re dealing with:

Easy enough, we just build a jail so big that we can fit the entire world inside of it, boom no more crime.

Frankly I think we need more people before we can start getting concerned about things like that. If we’re trying to make the Fediverse a viable alternative it has to be appealing and easy enough to use that people want to use it. If we don’t get that right this whole thing is doomed from the start

I vote the left one or some variant of it

The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it’s already so much better than a couple days ago

Here’s an archive.org link of the /r/datahoarder post I saw, the downloader tools at the bottom are probably most of interest but still some good links/info there:

I haven’t been on reddit in a few days but before I left I recall seeing someone post a github link that touted something like that for lemmy instances. Haven’t found anything for kbin but I know there are tools out there for scraping data/images/etc from different subreddits and users

Is there any equivalent of the Reddit Enhancement Suite being developed? I’d love to support their work

Me too, I think reddit is going to keep enough bootlickers to stay running but I hope the fragmentation will result in a better and more interesting internet. Anyone here old enough to remember the days of TOTSE?

One thing that helped me get a handle on things was creating my own magazine and just playing around with it. Magazines = subreddits, and articles = threads. An article is meant to be more text based, and you can also select the option to upload pictures/links to the magazine instead. I haven’t messed with the whole microblog section but if you select “add post” it will upload to the microblog of the selected magazine instead of the thread list. Boosts are different from likes in that they boost your personal ‘reputation’ instead of ranking thread popularity.

Overall I really like the level of customization kbin offers, definitely needs some UI improvements but it kinda feels like a hyperpowered version of reddit once you get used to it.

I played the BattleBit Remastered open beta this weekend and had alot of fun, I swear if they just made direct clones of all the BF3 maps and added planes+ships I would probably never stop playing. Hell Let Loose has been alot of fun too, even though the latest update kinda sucked

I’m really going to miss reddit but at this point my foot’s already out the door, even if they reverse all the changes Spez and co. have already shown their hand and are clearly only in it for the money

I have an account on both but if I had my preference I’d say kbin is the winner. I’ve been on reddit since 2011 and this reminds me of how it felt to join reddit back then
