Wow, seems like spez is from the same breed as Elon "Thin-skinned" Musk, no surprises there really. I love to imagine how hurt he is because everyone is saying that to him lol.

We appreciate the transparency and hope everything can be solved without much friction. Keep it up!

Devs (like me) can help, the main issue is hosting the bot somewhere and covering the costs, but I think is a good idea.

Same, when I posted on reddit I felt rejected, even if what I said was something unimportant, there was always someone who made you feel like you were wrong for just participating, this is much better.

Ah yes, "please reopen the piracy sub so people can discuss piracy freely 🥺".
My bet is this is an automated message sent to big subreddits.

Start with these questions: How are you doing? Are you eating well?

There's multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I'm liking kbin more for these reasons:

• Better algorithm, when I go to my homepage I feel that the site is full of new, active content, where people are having discussions.
• Integration with Mastodon, I like to take a peek from time to time on the Microblog tab.
• No feed bug. Lemmy has a problem where it would show every single new post on top of the feed (I know this is being fixed)

Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won't come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.
I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more "active" to me.

The greedy always forget their riches came from other people.

Totally expected since that post from r/ModCoord mentioned kbin and lemmy

Welcome, don't be scared of asking something!

I'm just glad this type of people will remain on reddit, don't try to convince them to come here lol. Let them stay in that shitty place, it's perfect for shitty people

"boost" is a mastodon term, it's used there as a "retweet" so you just basically "retweeted" the comment, this only shows up on the "Microblog" tab.

Hey kbin users if you want to block this domain just go to https://kbin.social/d/exploding-heads.com and block that domain there.

I also made a similar bot, might be useful!, this one doesn't check every single post, only external links, I didn't want to repost original content or spam communities, so the post only gets one post per hour (which can be changed) and checks the community to see if there's a similar post there already (same link).

Edit: it uses the json page, and filters posts based on upvotes, downvotes, age, etc. It supports multiple subreddits and communities at the same time.

Nope, we are at 35k+

Seeing that thread made me get over leaving reddit, I do have to thank spez for that

I do have to give it to the moderators, they made this asshole show his true colors. There's no going back to Reddit now.

I hope these people stay there, I like the community that moved to Lemmy/kbin as they are friendly and chill.

When spez says "We don't want to show NSFW to users" they mean they don't care how many users voted, they are saying "We don't want to give a bad impression to users that will use Reddit no matter what".
They just don't care about anything else that isn't money, if they could replace Reddit users with tiktok users they would be thrilled, even if they lose 12+ year old accounts with thousands of comments.
With this I'm not saying the protest is useless, it has the power to basically kill Reddit if enough users participate in it.

Ah, the meta memes, we have evolved
