Louis Rossman: redditor's reaction demonstrates a LOSING, selfish mentality - this is not how you win in life! ( kbin.social )

The Video...

At Reddit I can save a thread, at Mastodon I can bookmark a post or comment. How do I save a Kbin (or other) 'article', comment, etc? ( kbin.social )

Yes, I know browser bookmarks exist. But there must be some native functionality that I keep just not noticing - right?

Reminder: Reddit is gone. Your community is official. If you're a mod, you're just as good as a reddit mod.

I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio “not official” or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they’re willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It’s like the whole place has imposter syndrome....

[x-post]Private beta for Artemis App (for kbin/Lemmy) will be rolling out at the end of June 2023. ( kbin.social )

Hariette is hard at work to create an alpha release that is stable enough to start rolling out. Follow https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp (!ArtemisApp for you Lemmy users) for more updates and announcements on the app....

One thing that's surprised me about the Reddit shitshow

Is how easily mods have caved in once the admins threatened to remove them. I had thought we’d see quite a few cases where Reddit would have to step in an replace entire mod teams (effectively killing the community). But it seems like that hasn’t happened at all - the closest we’ve got is mods being reordered....

r/ModCoord has officially recommended migration off of Reddit. ( kbin.social )

There is no moral high ground for Reddit as it seeks to capitalise on user data via John Naughton of The Guardian. ( www.theguardian.com )

According to someone on a discord server I am in, Reddit has started adding watermarks to every post? ( media.kbin.social )

Updated: Reddit is quietly restoring deleted AND overwritten posts and comments ( mstdn.games )

Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. Seems I jumped the gun on this and the restores haven't been intentional - at least not in this particular case....

I did it. I deleted all my Reddit accounts. ( kbin.social )

This was a really hard decision for me but I purged all my posts, votes and comments via Shreddit. I then deleted all my accounts. I've been on Reddit since it was just a baby website. I love Reddit, the friends and the communities I was involved in changed my life for the better....

So what corners have redditors gathered to during the blackout? ( kbin.social )

Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?...

Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period....

Any other former redditors feeling grief? ( kbin.social )

I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...
