I think a lot of those are just people who want to be able to talk to their non-techy friends within the fediverse, but who also either haven’t yet realized the full scale of Threads’ privacy overreach, or they don’t give a shit/think it’s irrelevant since they don’t plan to use threads themselves.
Correct. I don't care because I already use Facebook messenger and Instagram which do exactly the same things. However if there's another good option of interacting with threads users without using the app that would be nice
The difference was Reddit had already built up a reasonably comparable audience when Digg imploded so the migration was easy. If you look at a similar graph of Reddit today and Lemmy/Kbin, you probably wouldn't even see these tools register with the active user base of Reddit so high. I think "rhyme" of history is that another service will eventually win, and it might be ours, but it's more akin to the fall of the British Empire than an overnight event.
I wish all were the same lol if only everyone moved we could have a great site, not that I like big crowds, but Kbin and Lemmy run on community service for a lot of stuff so the more people, the more we could see this site grow in many ways
I just looked through the communities they mod. Unless you are dying to engage with illegalimigration, mixedrace, revelation, askconspiracytheorists, antiwitchcraft, fluoride, chemtrails, or newworldorder, I don't think anything of value was lost.
It was Rubius. Originally the colour pallete was changed to black, white and grey but Reddit removed everything except white when people started writing fuck spez.
It was actually the r/placeDE community. Two of our designers quickly cobbled it together in Photoshop and then shared the final design with a bunch of communities and streamers, including Papaplatte, Rubius, placeFR, placeNL and others.
I only just learned about the fediverse at the downfall of Reddit, so seeing how vast it is (in my eyes anyways) is quite interesting. I didn't know any of this existed.
I get the sentiment but I’ve also seen decent media coverage of it and I’m sure many folks googled what was happening as a result, especially since twitch was more formally involved this time. I know the German word for “son of a whore” surged in google searches so that’s something lol
Does it drive traffic? Yeah. Does it make Huffman seethe? He’s childish and thin skinned so probably lol
For context, this is leading to my AC unit. While hanging a light above my workbench, I noticed daylight coming in from the wall where there shouldn't be any. It appears a previous owner had pulled back the insulation and forgot to put it back - shudder to think how much money that's costed me over the last two years. Would like a hardier seal than insulation to stop water and mice, but not sure what is required.
It's super awkward but I can get to it from inside the house (between insulation and hole). Going to have to move my workbench but so be it.
Any direction on the type/brand of foam I should use? I have a can of fireblock to seal ethernet runs from my basement to main floor, though it's probably seized up by now.
I would use fire block since normal expanding foam is flammable. If I could get behind it, I would see if the hole was excessively large and if so, cut a piece of OSB to fit the space with a hole the correct size in it. Then I would bisect the piece of OSB (making sure to bisect the hole) so that I would be able to get it around the cables and refrigerant line. If the hole isn’t excessively large, fire stop caulk the penetration and insulate the best you can.
I'd pack some stainless steel wool around it before doing the expanding foam. This will prevent rodents from chewing through it, which they can do to the foam.
They make rodent-blocking foam but I trust the steel wool more
