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.

I’m dying at this comment. I really hope it’s referred back to years from now as the original hate lol

IT got worse as soon as I joined. Probably just a coincidence.

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.

Muscle memory had me downvote. Read the post and had a chuckle then upvoted and boosted

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.

When I set up this account two weeks ago, I was led to believe that my salty old.reddit using ass would find a new social utopia, but now its full of people just like me.

Truly the worst fate. :(

@DrChickenBeer I am sure future internet historians will find this interesting, for the record it says your account is 1 week old did you browse Kbin before that and if so how long?

@Gamers_Mate I hadn't heard about it before that day. I started looking for Reddit alternatives as soon as the whole API thing happened (which I found out due to a popup in RIF). I did have a Mastodon account, but didn't really understand the Fediverse until sometime this week.

Absolutely!

@EROLoLICON@kbin.social avatar

For those who's perplexed, there's a gigantic /s on the entire thread.

I mean, some of us did use kbin before the great reddit influx, so, it could very well be something someone has said genuinely already :)

Kierunkowy74,
@Kierunkowy74@kbin.social avatar

I still remember the times, when /kbin consisted mainly of @ernest's science links and federated Lemmy posts. When /kbin was aimed to become an all-encompassing frontpage of the Fediverse, with all content from Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, Mobilizon, Friendica, Pixelfed and other fedi software to become, at a glance. When the most exciting thing was the accessibility of new Fedi content types, on the same app. Semantic Web, but determined by folksonomy and decentralised.

And now, having a community? having to listen to them? being simply a Reddit replacement? Seriously? I did not consent to that! /s

I keep seeing people talk about kbin having peertube support? how does that work exactly?

Kierunkowy74,
@Kierunkowy74@kbin.social avatar

Well, it does not work now. Some PeerTube channels have been fetched as magazines, but they receive no content.

gonzo0815, in Don't you think kbin has really gone downhill since the good old days?

I miss the times where every post was about how shitty reddit is. Now it's only original content. It's really going downhill fast.

redsky,
@redsky@kbin.social avatar

I remember that. People would just bitch and moan about how far Reddit had fallen. And how /spez ruined everything.

Now we have to put up with increasingly wholesome and thoughtful content. Oh well.

I can call you some homophobic slur, if that will make you feel better?

mrnotoriousman,

Yeah I miss just browsing through loads of stuff I'm not interested instead of having a bunch of magazines and viewing the subscribed list.

Silviecat44,

I hate that the majority of posts on the Fediverse currently is about reddit. Like get over it
