If you answer “yes”, you just might be repeating the whisper of a demon."
So, wait… people who have a competing world view from yours are listening to demons? Now who’s naive? xD

I believe the scientific name for this whole thing is “clusterfuck” xD
the articles from The Verge seem to be very favorable towards the protestors
Because that’s what’s driving traffic for them right now. Let’s not forget that The Verge is also a soulless corporate entity. Peters has been doing a good job at covering the issues, but he wouldn’t be allowed to be as thorough if the topic and angle wasn’t a good driver of traffic.
That argument doesn’t hold under scrutiny. Reddit employs about 80 people on their iOS development team. And the app blows fucking chunks, compared to Apollo, which was made by one guy.
I want to speak with Spez’s manager!
Seems like we found turtle’s ball licker’s Kbin account!
The Steam version does say it has local co-op, although I’ve never tried it.
Fantastic game. I got 2/3s into my first campaign and then my laptop got fried, along with my save. It’s such a cool game, and I love the fact that you can try the most absurd shit to complete tasks on it, and it will either succeed or fail spectacularly xD
Too bad they don’t seem to be federating. Just tried signing up to that specific community from Kbin, but it doesn’t show the content. Oh well, gonna keep my eye on it, regardless.
That’s gotta be up there with the best drunk Cup parade speeches of all time, lmao. Love the woman just trying to take his mic away xD
Also, after they took his mic away, Carrier honored his last name and carried him off the stage.
There are admins who are listed as mods in some subreddits, even if they probably don’t do any moderation these days. Spez is a mod of r/HighQualityGifs, for example.
This was my first thought, too. That game is so incredible, and the suicide mission is such a wonderful way to bring it all together.
As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It’s not stupid (that doesn’t exist in this community), it’s just disturbing xD
No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don’t have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It’s like asking if ravioli is a noodle.
It would be nice to not have to sift through so much chaff to find wheat
Isn’t that the nature of social networks, though xD
it should be up to the user to decide what they see for the most part. At least, they should be able to decide what they don’t see.
You can always turn off federation by going into your Kbin sidebar and clicking on the little triangle icon, next to the settings.
Or you can go to https://kbin.social/sub, to view the equivalent of your Reddit home page (i.e. with the communities you’re subscribed to). https://kbin.social/ is more like r/all, where you’ll see stuff from your subscriptions, plus other random stuff.
At least from my quick test right now, it limits your home page to posts within kbin.social. Not sure if it works the other way around, too, preventing your posts from going out into the fediverse.
I mean, there’ll always be way to see that. It’s just not obvious at first glance. But even on Kbin, the URL of the thread you’re in will have the instance after the @ sign.
My point is that we don’t need to make this a dick-measuring contest between instances. If the fediverse grows and gets better, we all win.
That’s a feature, not a bug. If you find a worthwhile discussion, and have something to bring to it, just do it. No need to marry yourself to just the one instance. That’s the beauty of federation, really.
To add a bit more context, this comment is from a former Reddit dev, who is now the creator and developer of Tildes, one of the Reddit alternatives that’s been gaining traction in the last week:
(I used to work as a backend developer at Reddit - I left 6 years ago but I doubt the way things work has changed much)
I think it’s extremely unlikely that this is deliberate. The way that Reddit builds “mixed” subreddit listings (where you see posts from multiple subreddits, like users’ front pages) is inefficient and strange, and relies heavily on multiple layers of caches. Having so many subreddits private with their posts inaccessible has never happened before, and is probably causing a bunch of issues with this process.
Rebel Galaxy is an exploration/open world-ish space game with weird controllers but a pretty fun gameplay. You get to fine-tune different classes of ships with a variety of weapons, shields, engines, etc. while completing missions to earn money and earn reputation with different factions.
It’s basically Sid Meier’s Pirates, but in space and with a modern look. I found it highly entertaining.
