He talked about it on the polish instance. Someone accused him of some serious stuff and he explained where all the naming came from in the comments: https://karab.in/...

Yet more reasons why people should stop using LastPass... I finally switched to Bitwarden after getting tired of having to choose between using it on mobile or desktop. Got out before the hack. I'm going to work on transferring my data again to a self hosted Bitwarden

Ugh, that's so annoying. What's the point of making great products if you're eventually just going to shut them down?

I loved subredditsimulator, I always forgot I was subscribed to it until a bizzare unhinged post popped up on my feed though that would also sometimes happen on non AI generated subs lol

I think I've contributing factor that's likely is that the users that care already bailed and aren't on there anymore

Did you already send Ernest a message? I've noticed he's really good at responding to messages he's just really busy at the moment for obvious reasons haha. Also weird that you can't add others to be mods on the magazine I haven't seen others have any issues with that yet, wonder if it's a bug on that one magazine for some reason

Everytime I see a video about Framework the more I'm tempted to buy one of their laptops, seems like a great company

What's dumb is reputation doesn't even do anything on Kbin right now other than make you go "haha I have higher number than you" so reputation farming is a total waste of time. Personally I hope it stays that way as it will deter the farmers, I can see some of the benefits of the karma system in Reddit but it's just too prone to manipulation to be actually useful in any way.

Seems to be sort of working for me. The home page still loads but no comments load. I only open the app occasionally though. I've been mostly using Kbin now especially since I've been able to beta test Artemis

It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It's one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them

Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren't the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it's really a breath of fresh air

I think it's probably several different reasons but I think a big one is the fear of the unknown. Basically they hate us because we're different, I think it'll be important to continue normalizing LGBTQIA+ things. I think the major backlash happening now is because it's being more normalized, these people are so set in their ways and are so terrified of change that they're letting their hatred control them. It's the whole boomer mentality of "this thing is different from when I grew up, therefore I hate it."/"I'm too old and therefore refuse to learn/change" (and yes I realize not all bigots are boomers, but you don't have to be a boomer to act like one)

Yeah it's you check Ernest's update post from yesterday, he said he's working on it. He also gave a way to contact him directly for deleting accounts in the meantime while he gets it fixed

LMAO literally the next post down in my feed had the answer: https://kbin.social/...

No interest whatsoever. I don't like Facebook (I refuse to call them meta) or any of it's subsidiaries. Mastodon works great for my Twitter like needs.

I do hope that most instances block them though, for obvious privacy reasons but also because it would be hilarious as it would basically invalidate one of the major selling points of the ActivityPub protocol for them.

Being able to have one account/identity across the fediverse would be amazing.

It was sometimes used for posting, like you had to have a certain amount of karma to post in certain subs

Nope, the wells been poisoned. Even if they did a full 180 and Fired Spez for good measure, they've shown their hand. How long before they do it again? Even if all of this was %100 Spezs idea and everyone else in the company opposed it, could we really trust the replacement to never try this or anything similar again? How long before the next CEO decides to try again? What Reddit as a company has proven is that they can't be trusted, and what we as a community have proved with switching over to Kbin and Lemmy is that we don't need Reddit. We can make the same content and have the same or in some cases better communities and the beauty of doing it on a platform like this? A greedy corporation can't destroy it again. Even if a major instance owner goes rogue, we pick up move to another instance and keep going no need to learn a new site no need to rebuild communities. A simple "I'm moving over to this instance!" And that's it

Wow OP, that's super rude of you to call me out like that. /lh /npa

"Being honest is too hard" What a joke of a company, we really need more competition in the ISP space. Comcast has had a near Monopoly on the space for far too long
