I've never had my ass called posh before.

Sharmat, in What is the most Successful Lie in History?

I’d say the Donation of Constantine

It was a forged Imperial Roman decree supposedly from Emperor Constantine the Great, which gave all temporal power over the Western Roman Empire to the Pope. Now, how is this important? This was how the papacy came into possession of the Lateran Palace, which was the Pope’s residence for much of history. It also served as the justification for the pope to break the formal convention of the five episcopal sees (i.e in the early church, Rome was just one of the important seats of power, the others were: Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch and all had equal authority) and declare itself supreme over the other centres. It also played an important role in the events of the Great Schism of 1054 (which formally separated the Western Latin church from the Eastern Greek church) and the investiture crisis in the 11th to 13th centuries.

Oooh, that's fascinating

Xariphon,

You could've just said Christianity, as a whole.

jarrn,

And you could have read a really interesting part of history...

Way to make me learn. On social media.

Seriously though, thanks for this great comment!

Drusas,

If you subscribe to the right subs/magazines/communities/whatever, there is a ton to learn. History, science, archeology, sociology, psychology, medicine, marine biology, mycology, geography, foreign languages, programming.... On and on and on. Social media doesn't have to be utter crap.

I'm trying to rebuild my sources after losing the useful ones on Reddit. Which ones in Lemmy/Kbin can you recommend?

ANuStart, in What country do you recommend for visiting?

Uruguay

ANuStart, in Aside from Trump or Biden, Who do you wanna see as the President of the United States of America?

Riley Reid

squawkduck, (edited ) in You are now an RPG character, what does your character sheet say?

Earned Perk: Dove Bane
Earned by been killed by a dove while being level 1
Bonus: negative luck when in presence of a dove

If anyone cares, this has become my IRL joke because I was playing a MUD and was killed by a dove while I just started out.

patchw3rk, in Do you have any favourite Magazines so far?
@patchw3rk@kbin.social avatar

@bestof is the runner up for the most subscribed 'bestof' instance in the fediverse and it's on kbin!

Also I'm the mod in the interim. Not really opposed to passing the stick forward if it takes off.

Looks like kbin magazines are case sensitive, so:

Kierunkowy74, in Don't you think kbin has really gone downhill since the good old days?
@Kierunkowy74@kbin.social avatar

Last time I was this early, it was not even called /kbin. There was only karab.in and it was (well, still it is) in Polish. A polished experience.

WhirledWhyDweeb, in Don't you think kbin has really gone downhill since the good old days?

Damn Reddit refugees ruined everything.

supermurs, in Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?
@supermurs@kbin.social avatar

I like kbin UI a lot, found also some user styles and scripts to make it even better. For iOS I found a great app called Memmy, I wish there was something similar for kbin.

supermurs, in What’s one thing that you wish you had known when jumping over from Reddit?
@supermurs@kbin.social avatar

Still figuring this out a bit, but this seems like a fun place.

sensibilidades, in Why is no one decorating their magazines?

I must be in the minority here, I turned off sub-specific CSS as soon as I could.

wahming, in Why is no one decorating their magazines?

I'm the type to tick the 'Ignore custom css' checkbox, so obviously not everybody's interested in that feature.

Jaysyn,
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

I haven't found that option yet.

wahming,

Oh no, that doesn't exist here yet. I was referring to the option in old reddit

H2SO4,

I'm in the same boat. So I just threw together a quick userscript which removes custom CSS on magazines:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469581-kbin-social-remove-custom-styles

You'll need Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey (browser addons) or similar to install the script.

harmonea,
@harmonea@kbin.social avatar

Thank you, I've come across one (1) magazine with custom CSS and it didn't take the font colors in kbin's dark themes into account.

(The mod was super cool about it and reverted the change until a better solution could be found, but I knew then I would need this option in the future)

cutitdown,

It's possible for mods to make themes that correspond to each specific kbin theme selection. Maybe I nee to write up a post and share how to do it.

harmonea,
@harmonea@kbin.social avatar

Oh, from my brief poke into magazine settings it didn't look possible; I'm sure people would really appreciate it!

RheingoldRiver,

Thanks very much for this. I really appreciate that the option to customize exists for people who want it; equally, I appreciate that the option to NOT have customizations exists for me :)

FermatsLastAccount,

I think that was an RES option

cdiv,
@cdiv@kbin.social avatar

Disabling custom CSS everywhere was always a built-in option, as I recall. RES added the ability to disable custom CSS for individual subreddits, which reddit later added as a reddit gold feature.

GizmoLion,
@GizmoLion@kbin.social avatar

Yep, every time. I was on reddit to read the content, not browse myspace lol.

supermurs, in Don't you think kbin has really gone downhill since the good old days?
@supermurs@kbin.social avatar

Absolutely!

callyral, in Why is no one decorating their magazines?
@callyral@readit.buzz avatar

i would but it'd be too interesting for my magazine

garrettw87,
@garrettw87@kbin.social avatar

What does “too interesting” even mean?

cutitdown, (edited ) in Why is no one decorating their magazines?

I've done some decorating over at https://kbin.social/m/ArcBrowser. Not done yet, but for Arc Browser users, the colors will adjust to match your browser theme!
