Too bad it failed.

How is that even legal in Germany?

The only gymnastics here are happening in your head.

You need to return to lemmygrad.

Seriously, this reads like a piece from lemmygrad.

Maybe your Japanese isn’t quite at the level you think it is.

Unless you’re on Kbin, which is not federated.

What I liked about reddit was its “googleability”. You had a question and found an answer without reading through an endless article that winds it’s way through rephrasing your question 5 times, adds extensive biographies of everyone mentioned, the wider history of the problem and the author’s grandmother, all to pad the article and have you scroll through more adds.

But now there’s ChatGPT, so most of my “googling” can be done that way, and I don’t have to scroll through walls of puns or “this is the way” or “thanks for the gold, kind stranger”, or “take my updoot and get out”. I wonder how much of that bullshit were bots, anyway.

I’ll definitely be on an instance that’s not federated with Meta. Right now, I have accounts on sh.itjust.works, .world and .ee, but I’d drop any and all of them the moment I find out they’ll federate with them.

Yeah, but Kbin has “reputation”, which is very similar to karma. The whole voting business, while useful for post/comment sorting and collection of metrics, also gives bad incentives and delivers data also great for bot farms. I’d be happy if it didn’t exist at all.

I’ll check it out when I get home 👋

I like and use both. There’s no reason to just pick one and stick with it.

There is, actually.
