Paste, in Have you ever developed a PTSD only by watching a piece of fiction ?
@Paste@kbin.social avatar

i dont know if it would be considered PTSD, but i saw one of the Child's Play movies ( i think it was 3) at way to young an age and the the scene where the nerdy kid sacrifices himself for the "cool kids" by diving on the grenade really messed me up for a long as time. still bums me out thinking about it as an adult.

JelloBrains, in What nuggets can I get today that are closest to the old burger king chicken nuggets?
@JelloBrains@kbin.social avatar

Burger King Chicken Fries. That's as close as I know you can get.

pizza-bagel,

Even their chicken fries aren't as good anymore 😭

I read someone say weaver chicken tenders were identical to their old tenders, but they don't sell those here sadly

That really sucks to know, I rarely go out to fast food anymore, but they were my go-to for the chicken fries.

room_raccoon, in What nuggets can I get today that are closest to the old burger king chicken nuggets?

You could try to recreate them yourself! Maybe you can get close enough to sate your cravings. I've never tried them, otherwise I'd try to help you with a recipe. You could try looking for copycat recipes online.

It feels like there should be an ActivityPub-enabled easy-to-deploy personal site setup, but I haven't been able to find one.

Pillowfort and Dreamwidth come to mind. Pillowfort designed to be based on original Tumblr. Dreamwidth based on LiveJournal.

I did some really basic searching and it looks like something like Yunohost might have some ActivityPub modules, and it does have some blogging modules that might work. I have not used this, so I can't say how good or bad it is, but it seemed to have potential.

If you want a platform with ActivityPub integration (i.e. it's part of the Fediverse), then there are several options:

There's also WordPress, which has a free hosted tier, and can alternatively be set up on your own server. There is an ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, which can be used freely on your own server, or with the paid business plan on wordpress.com.

Another possibility would be to use a Mastodon instance that doesn't limit your character count to 500, such as Aethy (which IIRC has a limit of 1M characters per post).

If I were to start a blog again (and I have considered it), then I would probably use WriteFreely, or alternatively Aethy.

Awesome, thanks!

The closest to it was watching Dahmer and getting to the part about the teenage boy because it was a fictionalized depiction of a real event. Despite knowing about what happened for years, there's something different about seeing it depicted on screen. It wrecked me for a while afterwards, and I stopped watching the show because how much it bothered me. It would have still bothered me if it was fiction, but probably not anywhere to the same level.

What's up with Medium and Substack? I'm out of the loop here

baggachipz,
@baggachipz@kbin.social avatar

Enshittification. They've turned the corner of chasing profits by being user-hostile.

hyperspace,
@hyperspace@kbin.social avatar

I know the term enshittification, but I'm wondering what Medium and Substack are doing specifically to earn the title of enshittified

You can host your blog on GitHub pages, some technical know-how required. But it’s free of charge, and you have complete control over what’s hosted, so you can host a plain HTML page if that’s what you want.

There are quite a few static site generators which you can use. Jekyll and Hugo are the most popular, and have quite a few themes to pick from.

Gordon_Freeman, in Is Kbin a right solution for a blog?
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

No

inconel, in Is Kbin a right solution for a blog?

if you want to write something of blog-length and want interact through fediverse, writefreely writefreely.org might work

I remember seeing a similar post recently and it didn't seem like there was the ability to restrict posting in a magazine to the creator/mods at the moment: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/272000/Magazine-only-I-can-post-to

It's possible another fediverse tool would match more what you are aiming for, kbin might not be too far off but it and lemmy definitely seem more about focusing on communities / discussions than people. Definitely check out mastodon / firefish / akkoma

Edit: I do want to say I think kbin could be good for that in the future; RheingoldRiver and others have put in a bunch of good issues about improving how microblogs are displayed / discovered, but I find it still a bit rough to notice microblog posters at the moment
