  • What's your favorite car game? Arcade and sim, I just want to know!

  • This past few months I've gotten into Trackmania. It really is the perfect "settle down for the evening and play with a video on the other monitor". I can just grind out records, while only needing two fingers max on my keyboard, and just enough attention.

  • Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care.

  • I think there is probably a mix of things going on.

    First, the angriest people already did leave.

    Second, people suck at protesting. I mean, the entire reason it was a 2-day protest instead of defaulting to indefinite is because the idea of sacrificing your own habits in a protest blows people's minds. There is a reason "slacktivism" is a thing.

    Third, there is probably a segment of the user base who basically got their addiction checked. Social media is addicting, and reddit is not exception, I mean, even I've kept habitually opening the site this whole week just cause that has been my browsing habit for over a decade. It's just how I've check ed news.

    And then lastly, the protest reached the more casual core of people who may have not even known about the protest before hand or understood the extent of it, and they are angry that this thing that didn't affect them took away all their content.

  • 17 years of powertripping mods; solves the problem instantly when it suddenly affects profits rule

  • A part of me believes they will give some bs reason to keep their "scab" mods immune, but I would love if they didn't and the chaos that would ensue.

  • Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

  • Ostensibly they don't wish to scale at the expense of the quality of their community.

  • Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

  • Its both a value add and a negative. For those more focused on their own community (Like beehaw) it's an obvious positive. But for many users, losing access to certain communities on your own instance of choice is going to be a negative. I personally don't blame Beehaw for favoring the former. I think improved moderation tools and more granular federation would at least make the move less of a blow to users.

  • For reasons no one can fathom, McDonald’s has released a new Game Boy Color game

  • For reasons no one can fathom

    The ROM hacking community takes this personally.

    ROM hacking and well, just retro development like this is awesome. I think there is something to be said about the creativity that comes with a limited canvas and so on

  • It feels like we’re on the brink of something

  • To be honest, 2023 has feel relatively calmer than the past few, I guess covid being that all encompassing to life. Of the things on your list I do think AI is probably the first thing that comes to mind when I think of what we are "on the brink of". This leap that happened the past couple years in LLM was shocking enough, wondering what the next couple are going to look like.

  • Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

  • Certainly so. From a sort of... sociological point I'm wondering what the impacts are of major instances growing independent of each other. I feel like I can already feel it with kbin and lemmy both growing separately during the blackout. I'm wondering if the trend for major instances is going to be where each one has their own unique culture or if they will eventually homogenize.

    Only real concern here, although I didn't participate during the mastodon surge last year, I heard that defederation became a bit of an issue with how common there. Granted, I feel like the impact is probably less here with the fact that you are interacting with topics rather than people.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • To be honest, I had such low expectations for the blackout, I'm actually surprised how much impact it did have. This was never going to be the reddit killer. There is a reason why the 1% principle exists. Most people don't care, and most people who do aren't going to actually put in the effort to change their browsing habits. It's part of why being an early member of new sites like these are the best, because the people joining are the people who are actively seeking out new communities.

  • YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content

  • Yup, exactly. Welcome to the fediverse!

  • I just hopped on today and the site is very unusable right now

  • There is traction, and in fact already a fix in review.

  • YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content

  • Ah interesting. I actually see this post over there so it seems replies from kbin are actually federating now. The question is if I will see my own comment.

    Edit: I do! Great news

  • I just hopped on today and the site is very unusable right now

  • Ironically, still some issues with the federation, so we can see them but they can't see us. We're in the walls.

  • Going back to Reddit feels bad

  • Ernest might have also gotten up more servers to handle the load, noticing that cloudflare is off and we are federating again (this is a beehaw thread)

  • Could we get an indicator of who the OP is?

  • Reddit Migration @kbin.social

    Contrary to some of the discourse on rexxit, I don't think the goal should be a "reddit killer" - just to breath life into this corner of the fediverse

  • Kbin shows the list of your subscriptions to everyone by default

  • Reddit @lemmy.ml
    BreadDog @kbin.social

    /r/videos announces that it will be entering it's blackout early - and indefinitely - given recent events

  • uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"?

  • Ohh, I like zines as a shortened version

  • After five hours fixing a bug only for the unit tests to all fail

  • The true fear is when everything passes locally and then suddenly fails on the CICD pipeline.

  • /r/kbinMigration created.... and quickly banned by reddit

  • I'm just waiting for the real Streisand effect to kick in if they ban /r/redditalternatives

    Testing out kbin's microblog feature with this, hopefully the image is here. Just a screenshot of my seablock save. Since this point, added a basic metallurgy setup with temp green science. Now workin
