Also what would be your strategy to taking down said largest animal?

What holds up to re-watches?

For me, it's the SCP-999, he seems pretty wholesome and inoffensive.

What do you like about kbin compared to other instances?
I for one like the UX. What do you like?

-I bough a niffler plushie for my 30th birthday and i'm still sleeping with it.
-I still listen music for childrens i listened when i was little.

It could be seemingly paranormal or simply perplexing. Just a story that sparks your curiosity.

So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?

I made an account on Raddle because r/egg_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven't use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.

What are your thoughts on these alternatives?

This is one of my goals of the year - to better myself at doing online research. I wish to be able to get more precise (?) results for what I am searching. Idk if I'm making myself clear here but I'd greatly appreciate any tips that you may have for me. Thanks in advance!

Edit: As pointed out in responses so far, my issue lies in not knowing how to properly ask the internet the question which I want answered. It's mostly a discussion about precise legal point that I seek in a judgement or academic article.

I’ve been very happy using kbin so far. But it seems like there’s a lot of app development for lemmy happening. Is there any chance of apps coming to kbin or support for kbin through some of the lemmy apps?

When someone made your life a mess, it's difficult to be sad about its death. Have you ever lived a such situation ?

Don't get me wrong, I know many of you also use these huge axes to manage your body hair, but enough is enough. How about spears with heads the size of a flounder? What about flounders? Have you ever seen someone get hit with a two-handed flounder? Kitchen appliances? There's a lot more creative ways to smite your enemies. You axe people are just lame. BORING!

When i was an intern in a store, i hardly resisted to organize the shelves while my own shopping.

Mine is: try to avoid checking bags if possible. It makes air travel so much quicker & smoother.

Hi, I was just browsing kbin on my work pc which is not signed into my account. While scrolling down there was a very nsfw picture (female genitalia) in the random posts sidebar. This nsfw content was, for some reason, not even blurred. I've seen this a couple times previously and am not sure where a good place to report or request a feature request is?

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

For some reason, if I try to reply to a comment or post, I get logged off. The system just kicks me off. This has been happening more frequently over the past week or two. Is this common? Are people here aware of a solution?

119
 
 

I just had an idea and would like to hear your opinions: I always have to roll my eyes when I see how useless the poll feature on social platforms is. It's just a gimmick. But what if we make it better?

What if there was a kbin magazine where everybody can ask questions and every month the five most upvoted ones are shown as a pop up to some random accounts on that kbin instance? That way we could get a representative answer for at least the whole instance.

So I have thoughts about what if platforms that we seemly are trying to move away from such as Reddit decided to Fedirate and join the Fediverse.

Do you think it would be beneficial or practical in the long run?

How do you think people would change their thoughts of the Fediverse if platforms like Reddit did do this sort of thing?

What would you do if Reddit did join the Fediverse?

Greetings, Kbinners (and anyone else from the 'verse who might be reading this). Back on the platform most of us migrated from, there was/is a subreddit called r/menslib, which was like r/mensrights minus the misogyny and shitting on marginalized groups and minorities. Those of you who subbed will remember it was a great place to chat about mental health, gender roles, societal expectations, toxic masculinity, things like that.

So far, I've not been able to find its equivalent in the fediverse. Here on Kbin, there's m/men, but that basically mirrors the old mensrights sub. It's gross. I found https://lemmy.ca/c/mensliberation in lemmy.ca, but that community is small (9 members) and inactive. I used Kbin's magazine/community search and only found those two; I then tried Google, came up with no leads and figured either my Google fu just sucks or their algorithm is getting worse (likely both), so I tried duckduckgo and still found nothing. Pretty much everything I found that is even remotely related is from people looking for the same thing or is a post or comment on Reddit itself.

Is there a place out there like the old menslib? I mean, there must be, right? Help me, fediversers. You're my only hope.

Edit: I have been banned from m/men. I mean, that's fine, I wouldn't fit in there anyway, because I don't think men are the ones being oppressed.

Seems like only thread replies show up. Is that expected? I would think all replies would show up in notification.

Anyone else miss StumbleUpon? I do.

I really miss what Massdrop used to be. It was a cool mix of stuff. I'm looking for a site to discover cool stuff for niche interests.

Anyone have any suggestions?

edit: To clarify, I'm primarily just looking for a way to discover cool stuff for hobbits not necessarily the group buy mechanic.

Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.
