you left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off.

I left reddit because reddit sucks and I've been looking for an alternative for a long while now.

We are not the same.

The best troll would be to just openly allow actual direct link piracy on /r/piracy. if reddit bans /r/piracy, then it functionally re-privates the sub (the thing they wanted to avoid). And if they allow it, then it's a bastion of actual piracy. win-win!

"1000+ planets are dull on purpose"

No, they're dull because no human team could make 1000 planets worth of interesting content in a single game development cycle.

personally I just want communities full of stuff that I like and that I'm interested in. as long as it's comfy and I'm getting some good chats, news, and content, I don't really care if it's "like reddit" or not.

downvoting for disagreement. people on reddit treat upvotes/downvotes as agree/disagree, when they really should be used to promote thoughtful and good content, not necessarily what you agree with. If you think someone is participating in a thread properly, and promoting and inviting discussion and making the place better (even if you disagree with them) you should upvote instead.

reddit all too often let "lazy" comments float to the top because they were agreeable with the masses, but low effort.

Yup. that's kinda how it feels to me. I saw someone describe it as lemmy is america and the lemmy instances are the states. and then kbin is canada lol.

Wait this is the new home for /r/piracy? Based af.

my post is in the format of a meme, it's not supposed to be taken seriously. but yeah it's pretty ironic.

I was wondering their reasoning, here:

We have publicly supported mandatory age verification of viewers of adult content for years, but any method of age verification must preserve user privacy and safety.

Basically, they don't disagree with mandatory verification, they just wish for it to do so in a way that doesn't violate the privacy of adults legitimately accessing the content.

Their suggestion for this is:

The only solution that makes the internet safer, preserves user privacy, and stands to prevent children from accessing age inappropriate content is performing age verification at the device level.

Essentially, do age verification on-device, and have the device send the okay to view signal to the site. This is something websites cannot implement on their own, until device/os developers implement such. I agree this is a good solution, but I think it'll be difficult to push tech companies to do this without further legislation.

I think it might be good to seek the EU to require tech companies to implement such a on-device feature, which will naturally roll out to all tech devices.

Edit: these quotes are from the porn company, not the court.

something about this is hilariously ironic, given how much reddit cracked down on various piracy subreddits.

I think kbinners are doing a good job with having a good reputation in the fediverse. But ex-redditors as a whole both on here and Lemmy are the new kids on the block. It's important to keep that in mind. We arent redditors we're kbinners now :)

They're not really "duplicate". Each instance has it's own magazines/communites/whatever, and those can have different rules, moderators, etc.

If you want to follow all of them, then follow all of them. If you only want one of them, then do one of them. Reddit had various subreddits all on the same topic, for instance /r/technology and /r/tech, and they had their own nuances, users, rules, etc. One might end up being more popular than the other for whatever reason.

Also keep in mind that they're subject to rules/moderation/control of the instance they're on. I'm using kbin.social, but if beehaw decides to do some weird thing or decide they no longer want a technology group, it's basically out of my control. Whereas a technology group here on kbin.social wouldn't be effected by beehaw's stance for their instance as a whole.

I imagine people interested in a topic will just follow all the related groups unless there's an issue with one of them.

the "fuck cars" mindset is typically that we're against car-dependency, not against people who are victims of car-dependent societies. Naturally people in suburbs and more rural areas, especially here in america, will need a car. It's not ideal and it's something that should be fixed but it happens.

beehaw has a really insular culture that's strictly moderated. they have invite-only signups, are quick to remove things that are "off-brand", etc. their complaint here is basically: the amount of ex-redditors flooding lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works basically makes it difficult for them to moderate the way they want (cracking down on content that doesn't match their community), so they defederated, which removes those posts from their site.

Indeed the point of the "fediverse" is to have content between sites shared. but beehaw is a bit... special. and I have a feeling they'll defederate more and more instances as the fediverse grows, because their ethos is pretty much the opposite of it.

you're participating in kbin content right now...

they wanted it open lol

when you say "disable federation" do you mean preventing our content (threads/comments/posts/etc by us as an individual) from being shared/seen on other instances? or do you mean that it prevents us from seeing federated content? or both?

"the silence is deafening" sums up my job searching experience. I can apply to as many jobs as you'd like but I can't actually start working until the other side says yes. and they seem to not even register that my application has been sent. How am I supposed to work, if no employer ever even looks at my application?

it'd be nice if you could write up a short thing on your philosophy for federating/defederating/content. many of us would like to simply have full federation and curate content ourselves, though it's understandable that moderation needs to happen in some cases.

you can use yuzu without owning a switch if you pirate the keys lol.
