Holy crap this is endgame. The head of the judicial body is too concerned about the feelings of the body?

So, just logically. I have a personal commitment and value to something. And somebody gets mad at me about it. My values and commitment should be able to withstand that? Yes? As soon as someone has a different opinion it's like "I can't bear to hear a different opinion (clutches pearls) and I can't stand to have my opinion critiqued"

For you and me and the lady in the checkout line (and I say that as a lady who is often in checkout lines), that's great. But this is the head of the judicial body of one of the most powerful nations - most powerful democracies - on earth. These are opinions that shape the lives of 300 million people at least. And he's gonna be there for another quarter of a century.

Like how many steps is Roberts from a kind of de facto chilling effect, and I'm not trying to be funny

Thank God for the generations who hear a public figure try to corral or control a situation and then begin to act in doing the exact opposite. Definitely need to remind the conservative justices that there are people out here

End rant (for now)

can we stop calling everything porn?

Agreed. I was thinking about reposting it in my little magazine and thought that was overkill. But now I'm re-thinking it ...

"could have been on it" ... but without confirming exactly who made the invitation. Interesting. He's about to be asked publicly why he declined.

This whole thing is just so sad. How dare he take a vessel that had not been verified safe at those depths.

dig it, works great

the safari iOS experience is not great

Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that's called something else now...?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I'm thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged.... that may not even qualify as "heavily" out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.

They could save a ton of time and money by going straight to the criminal trial before all of the assets disappear

So they will do exactly the opposite of what would save time and money

... so I could host an instance with a magazine that is essentially a digest of federated instances, and I can add/remove based on whatever aligns with my principles?

I don't think I have that right, sorry but if you could explain it a little differently, I'm still trying to understand how the fediverse is.

Huge mood.

I am trying to make the best of it. I realized that I don't really need to read every post in the migration threads. I can't fix the situation and everyone has to make their own personal choice.

I usually stay in my subscribed feeds and can dodge the majority of it

Not to disrespect peoples feelings, it's a situation with a lot of valid emotions in the face of crap

cough Meta cough

Kamala Harris!!

Oh, is that where it supposed to be? Spent a very frustrated first 30 minutes trying to figure out how to reply to any OP.

Wanted to say thank you for the link, and also for the instructions there to tell me how to follow from kbin. Although I had to drop the initial ! to find a subscribe button. That is probably user error. fediverse is confusing af tbh

If you are on mobile, there may not be? That dialogue at the bottom of the page I think it's supposed to be in a sidebar

In one of the settings there are a lot of menus / side bars that you can turn on that are off by default, it took some digging for me this morning to put all of that together

The mobile browser experience especially on iOS is not great but I know an app is coming

@wave_walnut

In here, I should stand on my creativity, not on my consumption.

This is so great. I need this reframe.

not going to do any climbing today or ever lol, but I did just finish an espresso so I'll see you there

Frankly I have trust issues lol. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the thing that most people seemed to be flocking to. And kbin seems to have more features and is already its own thing, already has an identity, isn't trying to replace an existing social media channel

Happy here so far

Also here's a great post about a search engine that searches across kbin, mastodon and lemmy
