Should I mark my account as a bot?
If you are going to use this account to auto-post, yes you should be tagged as a bot, alternatively I would recommend making a second account for this task.

PSA: Let’s fill Kbin/Lemmy with content to attract and KEEP new users
I think I've made more posts/comments in the last fortnight, than the last year on Reddit.
I've been posting interesting articles to nearly half a dozen communities each per day, even if nobody is responding.
I believe it's worth it to have this activity for those who pass by and see how many people showed up to the party before them.

Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 2
I'm surprised how quickly I've adapted to fediverse, Mastodon just didn't fill-in for twitter in the way that the lemmy instances have, once I learned how they work together.
Now that I have gotten over the first hump, it feels new and exciting enough to make up for the lack of diverse content. I really think lemmy/kbin can be the ones that push forward an interoperable internet.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's letter to Reddit employees in response to blackout
That little quip at the end implying that they could be targeted in public over this, with the intention to have journalists write as if we are flying off the handle.
This isn't Rick & Morty's szechuan sauce crowd, these are the moderators and content creators of the website. We are peacefully protesting his poor conduct.
The worst that's happened is that he's had some memes made about him and himself alone.

Reddit is ending Reddit Gold and users are furious
My belief is that they want to tokenize Karma and any other reward/currency will compete against their new tradable currency.
I believe they had already said years ago that the r/CC moons was a test run for something site-wide.
Personally I made $300 after moons first tanked, just from some lame comments in the subreddit that was ruined by the scheme.
I will likely use my 150k+ Karma account for profit if this happens and it won't be for the benefit of the community like the last decade of my activity used to be.
Lemmy is now where I participate in a positive way.

Reddit's CEO reportedly told staff that the community's API protest will blow over
Fediverse will still take years to get up, but this was a massive boost forward for it, the momentum has shifted.

Any apps for the whole fediverse? (Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon?)
Not quite yet, it's assumed that some of the bigger Reddit apps that are shutting down may do all three to maximise their userbase.

Fediverse currently reminds me of Reddit from 10 years ago in frequency of content. There is something nice about not being in the rat race, less toxicity.

v2.0 is all well and good, but it's still 3 years after I bought it, not giving them the benefit of the doubt next time.

HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response, ESMC, & Starfield x AMD GPUs
Reply in thread
You ask for a comment regarding an accusation, this wasn't something to get a comment for, it was the details and evidence itself which is not refutable.
If there was a claim against someone of an event that cannot be shown, you would ask them for their version of events, if the news had a clear video of an irrefutable event they would not require comment for what the video itself would clearly demonstrate.
Steve's video was demonstrable information through explicit evidence, it wasn't something that a comment would have shed light to as the only appropriate comment that could be made be a public response.
The content of the video could not have been changed and given what was demonstrated, it did not serve the viewerbase to wait for the response of the larger platform with greater reach.
Linus Tech Tips has the reach needed to be seen by at least as many viewers with their response.

Trek Central reporting that Star Trek Prodigy has been cancelled and will be removed from Paramount+ in coming days.
The removal from the service thing is the most absurd part of these announcements, that was the benefit of VOD, that we could access what we wanted.
Shows have gotten cancelled when they are popular and on a cliff-hanger throughout the last 60 years, but the removal thing is new and a massive decline from the accessibility improvements that were made over the last 15 years.
Fortunately for me, my personal server doesn't have this issue.

I'm sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

The login-block appears to be exasperating the issue, by creating a pull loop, they are DDOS-ing themselves. ~source
They turned off non logged in people, to save resources and it caused the opposite effect, too bad they fired all those developers.

They were happy to come in and get everything for free from us, now that they are inconvenienced by a decade of content production/moderation being screwed over, they don't care at all.
