Good to have this content cross posted here so you can gauge people’s opinions and feelings. It’s a net positive if it’s generating good dialogue (even if the OP won’t ever see it)

Fascinating. Wonder how many more people are close to leaving other platforms and will end up here, what will be the next straw that breaks people’s backs

Also need to factor in the codebase of Lemmy. Kbin is based on the Symfony framework so the barrier to entry is going to be lower, hopefully getting more people interested in contributing.

It’s still a pretty bleeding edge project, running PHP 8.3 and Symfony 6, so that’s nice at least

It’s a good move I feel. The original velocity on kbin has been lost over the past few months as the main owner struggles to get his own personal stuff organized. I’m pretty happy with this fork, the idea being that everyone will be about to contribute and perhaps these changes will eventually be brought back into kbin if they’re open to it.

Important to contain all your mess to one side of the room, makes it easier to manage

Reducing your interaction with social media, even like what the author did where he dropped him daily tweets to a few times a week is still progress. Less interaction makes your account less valuable for advertising.

These sites used to be decent but it’s all about the ad revenue now

As it should be, there’s way too much reengineering of the wheel. Let the big brains of the past do the heavy lifting

My favorite is the ‘here be dragons’ ASCII art, that’s how you know you’re in for a fun time

Best thing I did was throw all my old socks away and just bought a dozen of the exact same socks. Never have to worry about sorting them or getting annoyed when one inevitably goes AWOL

Looks like a decent workflow update, still going to be confusing for brand new folks I bet

Looks like a really good solution to the problem, even a false positive of 1% seems like a small trade-off considering the amount of spam and rubbish posted.

Never even saw that one, looks great now!

Imagine how shithouse their diet must be to warrant the need for a poop knife 🤮 drink more clear fluids and up the fiber intake jeeze

There are plenty of other developers, new ones that were happy to work on integrations and apps for the fediverse. While sync is great, it’s like a giant Walmart moving into the area, displacing other viable alternatives.

Pretty happy with voyager, it’s a pretty solid choice despite being styled entirely for iOS. I’ll probably look into a more Android designed / focused app going forward.

Good to see more platforms starting to focus more seriously on the fediverse, plenty of great little WordPress.com blogs out there that would be perfect candidates for federation

It’s still needed until the transition to full renewables is viable in most places. People still need to afford electricity so it’s a means to an end

Things take time, getting the momentum moving to another platform is always super hard to do

It’s a great use case that they’ve defined. Super keen to see how it turns out for them.

There’s next to no difference in regards to payroll processing on a week by week basis. Companies want to push this to a fortnight or month so it’s easier on their finances. There’s very little reason it couldn’t be paid weekly.
