overview for KnittingTrekker

Personally I prefer Kbin to lemmy; as other have said, we must put into account that kbin is much younger that lemmy, but @ernest has been amazing in managing to keep it all running when the users went basically from 0 to 1000 in a matter of hours!

Since Kbin is new basically anyone here now would be considered veterans in a few years. in c/[email protected]

OMG, there's a third party app with dark mode!!!! Goodreads app doesn't have it, which I hate with a passion... I'm sold, just started the import process of my books from goodreads to bookwyrm!

This is a test post. Don't upvote. in c/[email protected]

Is Goodreads bad? I use it a lot, but would it be better/more ethical to change like with reddit?

Getting fed up with people not marking their NSFW content (kbin.social)

It's happened multiple times today, I go look into the most recent posts in "all" , I am happily scrolling, when BAM! NSFW.

Now, I have nothing against that type of content itself, but not everyone wants to see it. This is the reason you can disable NSFW content from your feed, but it'll only work if people check the specific mark before posting.

Sorry, just wanted to rant, it's frustrating...

That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let's not poison ourself, thinking on "how to make them pay". Let's move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

Don't really know what the right way to call it is, but someone/some bot is spamming this post everywhere, even in the comments sections:

EDIT: it even spammed in this comment section
