I think it's good practice to change passwords after an attack no matter what

... and watch it become not-satire and then fully serious
It's gonna need some careful moderation to keep it fully satire methinks

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?
Reply in thread
I read an article comparing Reddit to a dying mall and honestly it's kinda getting that vibe since the protest
The migration is not gonna happen overnight, but it is happening.

If extra layer of "difficulty" is introduced by giving the users the choice of an instance is enough to keep them away, then I'm all for it.
It just needs to be easier for the ones that managed to figure it all out (better apps, stability, UI/UX, and QOL updates)
IMO the only algorithm I'll accept for lemmy/kbin is slightly faster "expiration" for posts, sometimes some posts stay too long on my frontpage.

More like it tried to forcibly merge the instances

SponsorBlock is such a godsend for (live) music videos as well, especially with Eurovision VODs will all those intros and endscreens

Writing after years.
Reply in thread
I've found that a hybrid between print and cursive works best for me in most cases. That said, it becomes "cursive" if I wanna go faster, which also makes my writing progressively illegible lol

Since Kbin is new basically anyone here now would be considered veterans in a few years.

Left kbin for a few days till that cloudflare thing was sorted out. Glad it's all running smoothly now.
I guess now I get to feel what the pioneering Redditors felt after the digg migration, and it's exciting!

useful fediverse links, for newcomers & everyone
This is helpful, thanks!
(commenting so I can also bookmark it in a way, there is still no save feature)

I frequently lurk on r/worldbuilding and it is still pretty active, though I've yet to find a solid equivalent of that sub on kbin/lemmy

Boost confirms switching to being a fediverse app after the Reddit app shutdown.

Tbf you can see some kbin stuff from lemmy either through desktop or a mobile app, but Sync for Lemmy is planned to have kbin support too, but we'll see.

also the ability to play wired if needed.
This, and you won't even need to worry about batteries, you can leave the battery tray empty.

Even in macOS the Xbox controller has its own icon, it worked well in my experience

This years Top 5 best selling games - is 2023 a good gaming year?
HiFi Rush is such a unique banger both in terms of art direction and game design, shame it released so early in the year.
I hope it's not forgotten when awards season rolls around.

Lemmy.world and another instance have been compromised
I don't see any weird content, but I couldn't log in. There's a notification at the bottom that says "logged in" but I'm still blinded by light mode.

There's nothing wrong with using Reddit, Twitter, and other mainstream site still while being active on fediverse.

I think it's gonna take a few more incidents on Reddit if we really want users to migrate to the Fediverse. Right now a bulk of the migrations are happening as the 3PAs had died, but we'll see how much of the momentum will be kept.

The branding for kbin is perfect
Reply in thread
you realize that some instances ARE problematic even if you have access to the entire federated content from it.
Personally I needed reassurance that an instance at least appears to be committed into fighting hate speech, especially as a gay guy
and Kbin presents a front that feels easier to grasp when you're not familiar with the concept of the Fediverse
As a similarly sorta-but-not-super-techie guy, I agree. Kbin nailed the presentation of the Fediverse by introducing a UI and experience that is remarkably similar to Reddit. For that reason alone I hope Kbin comes out as the most successful (or at least viable) alternative.
