Medication and therapy helped a lot.

That was me in the middle of my depression. Still is sometimes on bad days.

Why does smoked salmon look 'raw'? And why does it taste so different from a cooked fillet? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn't smell like satan's unwashed genitals.

Why is it called a U turn and not an n turn in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?

Is there any kbin instance that is seriously considering defederating Meta/Threads? (kbin.social)
 

I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.

https://kbin.social/d/lemdro.id also gives a 404.

Just checked if lemdro.id possibly defederated kbin.social, but that's not the case. Could be that they have the same bug lemmy.ml had that blocks all requests from kbin instances.

Against Lemmy Karma in c/general@lemmy.world

Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It's not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren't counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.

I'm sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It's called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone's profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn't being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.

[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that's a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]

What is the weirdest area of the Fediverse you have found yourself in so far? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Booooo, it's age restricted and I never managed to age-verify my youtube account.

@0xtero You can also change your title if you want, we're not on Reddit anymore. πŸ˜‰

Are PMs to other instances not possible? (kbin.social)
 

I just tried sending someone on a lemmy instance a private message (solution to a riddle) and got redirected to https://kbin.social/sub instead.

Is that a bug or just how kbin handles things that are impossible (maybe lemmy doesn't have messages, or PMs between instances doesn't work)

YSK: Reddit will only pretend to honor your edit request if you've made another edit within a few seconds before this one (kbin.social)

If you use a script to mass edit your Reddit content, make sure you make it wait a few seconds between each edit. If you do the mass editing by hand, make sure you're not too fast.

Otherwise, it will appear like the edit was successful, but if you reload the page, you'll see it didn't actually take.

I've found a link to this fork of Power Delete Suite in the comments somewhere here in the fediverse and it worked because it waits for 5 seconds between edits. Warning: If you want a backup of your comments before editing them though, use the main Power Delete Suite to get it that, the fork's version of the backup was incomplete (I ran the backup first, looked for my very first Reddit post and it wasn't there, so I was glad I hadn't run the editing portion yet. When I ran the main version of PDS I got a complete backup. It's only the backup that's incomplete in the fork though, the editing caught everything once it had slogged through.)

PS 1: Reddit seems to be undeleting deleted stuff sometimes, but they don't seem to keep edit history.

PS 2: Some subreddits seem to remove all comments edited after/before some point in time or passed time period, some seem to remove all comments edited to mention lemmy/kbin.

PS 3: It is not possible to delete or edit or even see your own content in subreddits that are currently set to private. As subreddits go from private back to public, you'll need to go back and edit that newly visible and editable stuff.

Edited to add: You should know this because most likely you have a reddit account and you might wish to purge it and replace the content you gave them with an explanation of why you left reddit or a "fuck /u/spez" or an invitation to the fediverse.

Why are Golden Parachutes a thing? (kbin.social)
 

Time and again, we see CEOs and similar executives make horrible decisions that massively damage a company both financially and in terms of reputation and the perpetrator is forced to resign, yet receives so much money as a going away present you'd think they're being rewarded for their fuck up. Why??
