This whole thing has made me realize just how dependent I was on reddit for making the entire internet experience better.

This exactly. Before this whole thing, I had no idea that social media could be open source. Now that I do, it’s what I need.

I agree that the UI needs work. I want to point out that you can see a list of all your subscribed communities. On your profile, where it says Overview, threads, comments, etc, these are on a scroll bar. scroll over and there’s a tab labeled subscriptions, and there you can see all your subscribed magazines and how long you’ve been subscribed to them.

I saw the title and thought huh, it’s working ok for me, then realized that it’s from Lemmy. We’re federated woot! For people on Lemmy.world, kbin.social is also having problems from the new influx of people. Different problems, but problems.

The difference that I see between reddit and twitter is that reddit hasn’t been purchased to be the plaything of a billionaire. This matters because unlike facebook and google, reddit and twitter aren’t profitable. That means that reddit doesn’t have to pockets to buy up competitors, lobby for beneficial regulations, focus on expanding overseas, or move into making hardware.

The problem unhoused people face is not nighttime library access it’s housing. We all know that the reason they’re shutting their wifi off at night is because while for some homeless people this wifi is a lifeline, for some others it’s where they get their porn or where they hang out to do drugs and browse the internet. But the fundamental problem remains the same, because they have no where to go home to, whether someone is fapping or connecting with helpful resources, it’s all done in public.

I think it’d make the comments a little cluttered looking. It doesn’t really matter what instance someone is from for regular conversation and if someone’s curious the can click through to the persons profile

I been getting 503 error messages every once in a while. It usually resolves after a few minutes. There are also a few bugs with comments not appearing in federated instances, which makes sense since it’s not complete yet. I’m pretty pleased overall.

That’s exactly how I meant it! Lots of people watch porn and do drugs, it’s not a problem to watch porn in your own house. That’s why I’m saying the problem is housing. The solution isn’t allow people to watch porn and do drugs in public, it’s housing so they can do it in private like normal people.

Isn’t this his like third “final” film?

When I saw the title I thought he had died for moment, because that’s truly the only way I see this man stop working. He clearly loves it.
