I went with a new one. Fresh start and all.
I agree and you aren’t really aware of it until you are gone for a bit. I’m convinced the algorithm promotes some toxicity as it likely drives more engagement, which in turn promotes ad revenue. kbin feels like real human engagement. I replaced all of my reddit comments with a mild protest statement. Will likely delete on June 30th.
Oh, that’s rich. The API was created for third party access. And if he didn’t like it, why was it tolerated for so long? Hmmm…maybe because they brought in more users and their data to fatten the pig before IPO?
Totally agree.
For a given sub, how many accounts map to individuals vs bots/fake accounts? For real accounts, how many of those actively engage with the sub? This is not a problem for ‘controlled’ user accounts. The legitimacy of any vote will be suspect…no way around that.
Very nice. Relaxing :)
Sort of manual but try this as a kbin.social user:
https://kbin.social/m/{lemmy community} <– but without the ‘!’
e.g. https://kbin.social/m/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
Remember to remove the ‘!’ :)
Firefox and Safari.
Apollo was excellent. Still can’t figure out how one very clever chap (Christian) could smoke the official Reddit App. Surely out of the 2K employees at Reddit, there must have been a small dev team dedicated to it.
BTW, could you share how to get the kbin PWA going? I signed up and used kbin on the iPhone and, while ok in Safari, it has some challenges. Desktop is quite nice actually.
