I used to respect the guy for standing for Right to repair and all that, but those comments from him are just unacceptable. The video is despicable and I won’t watch his content anymore. Sad.
I’m a bit confused if I watched the same thing as OP and you. I don’t think those comments are from him, but rather random people responding to his video? The video seemed like an argument that pure self-interest is self defeating, and on the importance of solidarity, in response to someone saying that supporting blind access is virtue signaling. But with a clickbaity and a bit misleading title (note apostrophe position in Redditor’s vs Redditors’)
Kbin doesn't currently support saving.
I bookmark things for now on my local browser. Afaik, the feature is in the to do list so I'll save what I can from from the bookmarks manually once that's done.
If you upvote a post it will put it in your Favorites. You can access favorites by hovering over the hamburger menu just to the left of your username in the top right corner. To upvote without putting it in your favorites, you can use boost instead. This is essentially how you save posts on kbin.
Yes but on reddit, upvotes puts something in your upvoted list and you can save selectively, which is a much better system for organization.
Boosts and upvotes have a slightly different functionality here that I do upvote and/or boost posts and comments differently, none of which is to add the post to my favorites. Even though it can be used that way for the same effect, it's a different use case.
What if I want to save a post I didn't want to boost or favorite? Should I not be able to save a comment I disagree with that I also downvoted?
I use OneDrive for the auto-upload feature. I know it's not selfhosted, but I want an off-site copy of my pictures anyway, and the phone app works really well for auto-uploading. I had previously tried Nextcloud's auto-upload, but many times the uploading was stuck and I had to fix it manually.
I then have nightly rclone jobs to download the photos from OneDrive and store them locally. To view them locally, I use Photoview, which works really well with an existing directory structure.
It's not worth staying on at this point anyway. The people that remain are largely assholes. You can basically see the reason that protests don't work as a macrocosm, because most users now are just bitching that "wahh the blackout only hurts users". No different to people complaining about climate activists who block highways, or trans right activists who get blamed for "being too loud and annoying". Protests don't work when solidarity simply doesn't exist because most people are just selfish, short sighted idiots, and that's basically the userbase that remains over on Reddit at this point. I can't think of a good reason to stay and interact with those kinds of people.
There are also lots of apologetic mod posts that are like "we reopened because we don't want to lose all our hard work and be replaced by someone worse, that is not what's best for our community so we're reopening", the ignorance and arrogance of such statements is mind blowing lmao, but trust Reddit mods to not see the wood for the trees.
Not sure if something is just wrong with their end or if kbin just isn’t working yet, but I’ve been trying to subscribe to !3d_printing on kbin. The 3D Printing subreddit mod set it up and the subscribers to that subreddit really dogpiled on him for doing it for some reason (you’d think 3d printer owners would be techie enough to care about the protests)
Anyway I wanted to support it but I literally can’t on kbin. Am I doing it wrong? I’ve tried it with and without ! and @ in front of the magazine name, according to the conflicting advice here.
And then go to it and click subscribe. This sometimes doesn't work for me if the instance hasn't been "found" by kbin.social and I have had 0 luck adding it through search, but seems to be ok with yours.
To clarify, I want to subscribe on kbin.social to a magazine on latte.isnot.coffee. Or can we only subscribe to instances on some 'federated' list, and, if so, isn't that a maintenance nightmare?
No, it's just that kbin has only recently started federating, and I believe ernest said it's still not FULLY federating yet. It's very new. kbin currently also has an issue where it is case sensitive but pretty much nowhere else is - which is causing some odd quirks. The proper format is @magazine so @china
I had this same problem. Try looking it up over here: https://kbin.social/search possibly without the ! mark, not sure.
I think the magazines list only shows magazines/communities that have already federated. But, search kicks that into motion if it hasn't started already.
I didn’t post a lot but I was definitely anxious about commenting because if it wasn’t worded just right, someone would take it out of context and be offended by it or downvote it to hell. I remember telling someone that I loved their poems - downvoted. I corrected someone about the difference between ESAs and service dogs - cue arguments when they can just literally read the ADA (law). I apologized for getting something wrong - insults and talked down to. I also remember being told that latinx is what trans Latinos want people to use, I used it and was greatly talked down to and told I’m not a real Latino. It felt like reddit was just really hostile no matter what I did. There were many times I wrote a comment but then discarded it.
Counterpoint: I’m a fan of highly specialized memes, and they worked well to drag the shitty content away from the main subreddits. tf2circlejerk kept me invested in my lost love for the game.
I haven't deleted my accounts yet, but I blocked reddit in my router firewall. This past week I found myself repeatedly going there without thinking, like a genuine addiction.
I didn't realize until the blackout how bad Google search results are without Reddit. Everything from finding video game hints to recommendations on the best bicycle seats... All the best, trustworthy content was from users on Reddit.
I've compromised by using Google cached search results to avoid giving Reddit views.
Valve has certainly given linux a boost with the SteamDeck and all the work they've funded to make it a viable gaming platform. I just hope they release SteamOS for all platforms soon, maybe we'll see an uptick in PC pre-builds with SteamOS as an option instead of just Windows.
