seems like everything that isn't "kbin.social" shows a url instead of the shortened mention.
if you mention a magazine that is on kbin.social, it doesn't even work/show, if you mention a fedia or kglitch magazine at "kbin.social" it shows a short mention on my side but a full url on your side.. it is broken :,D
left kbin, right fedia, another kbin based instance - so if i post a kbin magazine on kbin it doesnt gonna show, while fedia magazines etc do show, but as a full url vice versa :) really chaotic
Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.
Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries
Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea considering the creator to lurker ratio?
i find it hilarious considering they used the same excuse for forcing sub policy change reversion; "only the active people voted, you cant just change the sub policy because of allll the lurkers"..
reddit executive lacks cohesive governance. just a complete shitshow
If this is indeed new and not from 2021,I'm waiting for Reddit to implement about 10% of it badly and then make promises about the rest for another 5+ years.
JFC I left just in time. This is literally encouraging me to go through the effort of deleting my old reddit accounts. Am I the only one that became notably nauseous when viewing that link? It's like it's been designed by the CCP for kindergartners.
I had 3 accounts from the last 12 years that I went through and deleted the comments on. I never really posted anything helpful, so I didn't feel too bad depriving the communities of the content, but it felt really good to do.
Communities are the lifeblood of the Internet. But on today's Internet, they are not in charge of their own destiny. Instead, they are controlled by the large platforms that hold all the power online. It is time for a change.
Because it's not new. Now how far along is it? IDK. Realistically a large feature like this would probably take a couple years development and a company should be thinking multiple years down the road. It's probable that they were planning a big switch up to reputation and rewards for years.
Spez freaking out and cancelling all 3PAs does feel like a spur of the moment decision though.
But it’s not limited to Reddit either. Because your Points are on the blockchain, you can take your reputation anywhere you want on the Internet. Embed them in your own site or app!
@curiosityLynx The name is written out fully automatically when I click "Add comment"; kbin, the instance where I am, will put full identifier automatically. But on posting it only shows the "id name" without "instance part", but links to the account. Like in this situation with your name. My guess is, the person is still tagged correctly and only the HTML link name is shown in the browser.
I just wish it would link to the actual post or reply directly, instead the person. With the ability to preview on mouse hover (just like how it works on person accounts, at least for me on the desktop browser). This would make discussions more clear.
@Ferk Interesting. I have checked the link from you, to see it from their perspective. And sure enough that won't show me a link too, BUT... The guy from kglitch.social has a link. What I think happening is following: Because I respond to the guy in the same instance kbin.social, it won't put the entire name. I know this from Mastodon, where if we are in the same instance, I don't need to put the instance id to tag someone. And because the guy from kglitch is not in the same instance, it will automatically create a full id reference, which every instance render as a link.
Hopefully I could explain what I think is happening. Maybe it is not an issue with kglitch itself, but how Kbin works.
it might be the /kbin core, not your site you're on.
if you mention someone at your instance here i also prob would see a "full url" (as long it's not the same instance we are on, yes even if it's kbin based)
linking magazines is even more broken.
if i link a kbin social magazine, its not even gonna show, if i do mention a magazine on another instance here on kbin.social it does shorten and link to it, while the ppl over there just see the "full url" of my mention vice versa :,D
It looks like they're wanting to do a full rebrand as more of an actual social network, I think. Monetizing every single aspect of the platform sounds like a terrible way to go about it.
They don't care about the users who are making a fuss. In fact, they want those users to leave. They want the complacent social media users who can be easily monitized.
Yeah, I am not sure if this is actually news. I got the impression from what Android Authority dug up that this new thing was going to be regular USD. It looks like they’re going to be asking for bank account information and tax forms for anyone who wants to become eligible for payouts, and I don’t know if they would be doing that for crypto…?
I was confused with the section showing awards when an email just went out saying Reddit are ditching awards. But if this is indeed from two years ago, that would make sense.
