I wish I could upvote you twice.

I absolutely mourn the loss of a useful tool and my awesome communities. but I'm pretty excited to be watching something new grow out of it.

I clicked the link and thought, I'll read this and be done. RIF is also kaput. I've decided to keep it installed because all my Reddit links default to RIF and this way I won't accidentally give Reddit any traffic.

also according to this strangely written article the design request in question was fabricated ...

unless they've uploaded his consciousness to another computer, which I don't think they can do yet... if you destroy the machine, you destroy the man.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

left, right. up, down. it's just a way to divide us so we aren't united against the common enemy...

siuvhne,
@siuvhne@kbin.social avatar

it's important to see that both sides have extremes and to assume that anyone who tips the scale "left" or "right" is somehow more right or more wrong is what keeps us from being able to find common ground. turning the words "conservative" and "liberal" into slurs is equally damaging. we both have ways of lashing out at each other when we are not the enemy. I bet we can agree that extremism is dangerous regardless of which side of the fence it resides on.

how did this discussion devolve into Nazis? I'm afraid you're probably part of the problem.

@siuvhne@kbin.social avatar

frankly I'm a little concerned by it. I want my opinions to be valued if I'm going to share them. frankly I already don't feel welcome and this is literally day two and not even a political /m/.

Thank you for calling that out.

I may have misunderstood the intent of the post. sometimes I skim without meaning to.

I don't tolerate hate speech, on either side of the fence.

@siuvhne@kbin.social avatar

let me start by acknowledging that I merely wanted to express that it's not just "extreme right buffoonery" that's a problem. to claim that there is no such thing as "extreme left
buffoonery" is misleading.

my comment clearly stated that the extremes on both ends are to be despised. politics is a game I don't wish to be judged on because I'm seriously apolitical. we do need to meet in the middle. I'm not saying we need to forgive the "buffoonery" but cut out the rotten fruit and make a fucking jam. ideals are not arbitrary in any way. our ideals are built through life experience. I'm seeing a whole lot of each side trying to dehumanize the other for not agreeing with their politics. The "right" has rational, reasonable, kind humans who believe in human rights. but the fact that they may have a stance on the nanny state that the country is becoming somehow makes everyone who's not a professed Democrat evil.

regarding hate speech, frankly I've experienced more than my fair share. but that doesn't count, right?

I hope it's not.

I find this line of thinking to be flawed. If race can be excluded as a factor for consideration, how is the most qualified people getting ahead a bad thing? I couldn't get into Harvard even if I had good blackmail on the Dean. Maybe I don't understand the argument but that's my take.

I miss IRC if you want the truth.

siuvhne,
@siuvhne@kbin.social avatar

yeah but my peeps gone like 20 years ago!

What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful (kbin.social)

At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

siuvhne,

I have a different perspective because I actually became active on Reddit for a particular lapidary marketplace - not r/gemstones. but I saw r/gemstones go from a sub extolling the science and beauty of gemstones to a marketplace full of shady dealers trying to disguise their hawking of badly cut stones with sketchy origins. posts that often had to be removed by the mods when the OP wouldn't take no for an answer.

Power Delete Suite issues (kbin.social)

I'm having an issue where comments aren't edited at all (not the same as other issues I don't think where it gets cached and changed, as far as I can tell). Recent ones, old ones, random one in between, regardless of sub. I don't have skip gilded actions on, saved actions, or mod distinguished. Anyone know what's going on? I've...

I only had 4,000 comments and it ran for about 6 hours for me. It's because the fork adds a 5-second delay between each request and frankly that's the only way you're going to get every message edited. You can try resorting your comments by top controversial etc but I didn't find that to help much.

yeah. the vaping subs were NSFW. as were some of the tattoo subs.

realizing I hadn't yet, I actually paid for the third party app that I was using - RIF -after I found out that they were closing the doors.

I got banned from r/softwaregore for editing my comment ... if that counts

sidekick, to amitheasshole

I left Reddit after /u/spez continued to lie about the changes being made to the API. After finding kbin I wanted to read more AITA posts like I could on Reddit, but after finding none I created this magazine at https://kbin.social/m/amitheasshole so that I could encourage others to make such posts.

I could have waited for long-standing Reddit moderators to come here and make it but I skipped the line to do it myself. AITA for not waiting?

@sidekick I'm here for this! thanks, man!

@sidekick I'm here for this! thanks, man! 100% NTA cuz they're still there, and we are here.

siuvhne,
@siuvhne@kbin.social avatar

I'll be honest I almost didn't subscribe because I had already unsubscribed from the Reddit version for not participating in the continued protest. but then I read this!
