@thedavemiester Well, this is the first time the fediverse has been how I first learned about a local disaster, so that's something...

@001100010010 I live in bone conducting headphones most of the day, but when I'm at home, it's either my crappy TV speakers or dedicated over the ear headphones

@BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they're not, then that means that they're fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that's not a truth I want to face

@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn't know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching

Kebin is too similar to Kbin

That's why it's good!

@julian_schwinger You can upvote it :)

@hedge @leigh

@LSNLDN Yeah, it federated fine, but it's a kbin post made to a kbin community, so I thought it worth mentioning that it doesn't appear on the default tab of that community when viewed from kbin

@Roundcat

@koncertejo It does, but it's not quite as convenient for the microblogging side of things. It can do them, but it's more suited to following hashtags and topics from the rest of the fediverse than it is for following specific people

@patchw3rk I'm in the same boat! I created them before the migration, because they didn't exist. But I don't have the time or the desire to admin communities with hundreds of people. I hope this becomes easier at some point

@Roundcat FYI, it looks like you did this as a "post" rather than an "article". Posts appear under the "microblog" tab in kbin and are grouped with content from Mastodon and other apps on the wider fediverse. Articles are what you want if you want the post to appear as a regular thread in a kbin/lemmy community

I mean, to me, it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn't deal with marginalisation in any real way. No unique selling point? The fact I can exist here without being constantly harassed by bigots that have a green light from a mega social media platform that doesn't give a shit about me is a pretty strong selling point. Strong enough that having experienced it, I will never return to a centralised social media platform that isn't aggressively supportive of minority rights.

@minnieo I think the real question is how many people actually check who upvoted what?
