Shower Thoughts @kbin.social Gamers_Mate @kbin.social 1y ago

Since Kbin is new basically anyone here now would be considered veterans in a few years.

Just something a recently thought of.

  Thanks!
Imagine the people who had Kbin accounts before the whole reddit debacle. They will be the true OGs of Kbin.
- You mean the ancients? Rumor has it that they have always been here.
  
  I heard they were created by the code itself
  
  They built this place and now we just use the ~~gate~~ federated system for ourselves.
This is the way.
- This is the way.
  
  This is the way.
And, next year, the first day of the Reddit blackout will be a massive cake day here in Kbin!
- That whole week really.
  
  I know people who made accounts one or two days beforehand because they correctly predicted that the wave of signups would cause issues. And I know people who waited till after Reddit made it clear that they weren't going to be changing their plan.
Anyone anywhere now if they were still there in a few years would be considered a veteran..
I've been a member for 2 whole weeks. I'm pretty OG at this point.
troopers of the cloudflare incident 🫡
- Left kbin for a few days till that cloudflare thing was sorted out. Glad it's all running smoothly now.
  
  I guess now I get to feel what the pioneering Redditors felt after the digg migration, and it's exciting!
  
  I joined kbin when cloudflare was enabled and was still having lots of fun. Imagine my excitement when it actually started federating.
- Cloudflare verifier, chiming in 😅
  
  Didn't create an account till after it was sorted out though
What about us wandering Lemmings?
- Today when I was browsing with my lemmy account I saw a commenter that had a cake icon, they had joined two years ago.
- Lemmings are round and cute!
- Lemmy is way older. The true veterans are hiding somewhere
Congrats with the veteran status 😆
- Congrats to you as well.
  
  kbin is so new that we managed to snatch the domain kbin.dk and create Denmark's first kbin instance 😁
I'm used to that. Been a veteran of Livejournal, Tumblr, Twitter, LibraryThing... I'm just sad I didn't get my Mastodon veteran badge.
- +1 on the mastodon point. i remember hearing about it all those years ago and being a little skeptical, but then when i finally checked it out last year it was SO good. love that place.
  
  i saw a brilliant toot that perfectly captures how i feel about the fediverse: "I like a small indie coffee shop where the coffee is better and you can always find a seat, and it's not full of crying babies."

You know how you sometimes stumble acros comments on reddit with insiders or short hype from 10 years ago?

I came to peace with the fact that this will be the poop situation right now. The first kbin/lemmy insider...
- the poop situation
  
  I remember that poop post on asklemmy, it's already achieved legendary status I think lol
If it survives,

I can't even post on my own magazine without errors popping up, my thread not showing until 4 to 8 hours later, and now that there's duplicates of the thread, I try to delete them, and it just gives errors...

Haven't been able to post or delete anything in days.
- you could make an issue if you'd like, although i get that that is inconvenient
  
  kbin has been working alright for me
Important part is to get as many bug fixes and improvements done for the next wave, the API outage on the 1st of July.

I'm keen to get through as many PRs as possible and get new tweaks and features out to improve the experience for all the new mates that are going to migrate over

Hello world!
Hopefully the comment box will be towards the top by the time new users become veterans! Loving the site though wasn't expecting this much activity on the threadiverse, especially on academic subs. Feels exciting to be a part of all this. Shame didn't join during the blackouts. Oh well better late than never!
I was a veteran before it was cool.
I’m here for it
Stargate and the ancients.
Thank you all for your service.
Why should I care about this? Do I need to be called this for some type of street cred?
