I’ve never heard of this game, but I’ve enjoyed every telltale game I’ve played. I wishlisted it and will be looking for steam deck performance reviews.
I didn’t go nuclear, but every time I go there, I wonder what reddit offers that actually requires an account. These days the most I do is look at one or two niche communities I follow for anything useful and then leave. I feel no obligation to participate anymore.
The fun part is explaining to all your European friends that you still not only have to file tax forms, but also have to report to Uncle Sam exactly how much money is in your European bank account year after year even if you’re settled abroad, married with kids, and haven’t set foot on American soil in over a decade. If you forget to report and they catch you, they just get to take it.
I honestly think Reddit is going to do just fine over time to the dismay of a lot of people who left it behind. There are just too many people who don’t know, don’t care, or are just too lazy to bother with anything else. Clickbait gossip sites still draw from reddit for content and companies still use it for cheap PR. Reddit isn’t going anywhere.
I just don’t care. I’m liking Kbin more and more as it improves, and occasional visits to reddit only serve to remind me how much weight Apollo actually carried. This place gives me the sense of community I got out of reddit, and it does a good job of it without needing an app to make it bearable.
Plus, open source and federation is somewhat new and interesting to me, and I love how privacy-centric people in this community tend to be. It gives me a just little more faith in humanity.
I know, right? And u/spez threw the match! I'm still in shock over how swiftly it just went from amazing to garbage. Fortunately, Kbin and the fediverse is already superior for me even if the community isn't as robust. The growth and enthusiasm is here.
I made a magazine on kbin as an alternative to a relatively niche subreddit I really appreciated. And in the month since the migration, it’s only grown more apparent that I was a bit over enthusiastic about the scope of that migration. Only 2, maybe 3, others have contributed to the magazine, and it’s usually a question I have no definitive answer for. Oddly enough, there are over 40 silent subscribers, so I’m probably doing something of interest to some people out there.
For better or worse, Kbin still doesn’t have the means to let you remove magazines you’ve created. So rather than deleting or abandoning it, I’ve kind of opted to take responsibility over it and treat it as more of a personal hobby and public repository for myself. Every once in a while I’ll post a tutorial for something I’ve done, or write out some thoughts of my own without any expectation of engagement. When the ability to delete magazines comes through, I might consider migrating my more useful contributions to one of the more centralized magazines at that point and then removing my own.
I never bought coins or whatever, but I had inherited a bunch somehow. I jumped on reddit just now to find an old thread I'd saved and found this in my inbox:
Hello from Reddit,
We’re reaching out because you have Reddit Premium and/or Reddit Coins on your account.
TL;DR: We're making updates to awards and coins on Reddit that we'll complete by September 12, 2023. As part of this, we made a decision to move away from Reddit coins and awards. This includes the 700 monthly coins* and Premium Awards, which are currently part of the Reddit Premium experience.
You'll still be able to use your Reddit Coins until September 12, after which they'll be removed from your account.
Note: all other current Premium perks will still continue to exist, including the ad-free experience.
As we looked at our current awarding system, there was consistent feedback from redditors that stood out – particularly around the clutter from awards and all the steps involved with awarding content. We also learned that redditors want awarded content to be more valuable. With that, we are reworking how great content and contributions are rewarded on Reddit. We will have more updates to share soon.
If you have further questions please check out our announcement post to read more about the update.
This perk is part of the paid Reddit Premium experience.
Thought it was kind of funny considering I never once cared about coins in the first place. Just checked and apparently I have "13325 coins to spend." I'm just going to let them go unless someone has a more maliciously compliant suggestion.
I’d say any automated/integrated effort to direct users of federated instances to the threads site to view content should count as a strike. (Such as needing to go directly to the threads site to view an image that could be easily posted anyway.)
So should any automated/integrated effort to encourage users to make their own threads account. (Such as needing an account to visit this link or view this image.)
Any attempt to coerce non threads users to sign any sort of agreement or TOS with threads.
As well as any data collection on non threads users. Merely interacting with a federated threads account should not entitle meta to any data collection of that user.
