hi
hi from the fediverse!
Welcome!
Hi! ..... pattern
Does anyone experience a broken UX of kbin on Chrome iOS? The thread keeps jumping up and down as I try to navigate, the comment box doesn’t stay in focus as I type, etc.
edit: seems to be much smoother on Safari iOS. We’re still a long way from the silky smoothness of Apollo, which I will miss dearly!

hello! there's dozens of us here!

Rif is dead, only makes sense to move to a decentralized social media for the decentralized internet of value.
I'll go where my friends (and content) go. Kbin and Lemmy are both very satisfying so far. As for Discord, I don't know if people are mad enough yet to bother. One civil war at a time. Otherwise, I've got my eyes on both Revolt and Comm in the future.
Well 00:00:00 UTC July 1st just rolled around, and it looks like the third party reddit apps were just cut off.
Reddit is entering a new era, I guess.
Like many others here, I’ve nuked 10+ years of Reddit posts and comments. I have not deleted my account, however, as I worry about Reddit resuscitating my posts against my will, as has happened to others.
I feel genuine sadness at turning the Reddit page, and removing Apollo from my device. I’ve learned a lot from Reddit, including much of what I know now about crypto. On the upside, I will take this as an opportunity to improve my daily habits by spending less time mindlessly doomscrolling, and being more cautious about the risk of doxxing. My contributions to the fediverse will also be more deliberate, meaningful, and targeted. And, I snatched a prized username!
I look forward to being part of this community.

yep, boost app stopped working. Now I will have to find ways to make kbin work
reminder for everyone running validators to update MEV-boost: https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/releases/tag/v1.6
it's been a while since 1.5. I don't see huge changes between 1.5 and 1.6
Thanks for the reminder. I also recently upgraded my CL/EL clients. It’s nice to see that updates are now less frequent. We’re getting into a steady state where solo node maintenance is at most just a matter of once-monthly logging in, applying security upgrades to the OS, and perhaps upgrading the staking stack. Kudos to the dev teams who’ve produced these clients and achieved relative stability less than a year since the merge.
Great idea with the weekly, especially in the beginning.
I'll be on vacation for a while but once I'm back I'll see if I can make the nitter bot work on here as well if that's something you guys want.
Additionally I highly recommend the ethfinance buddy extension: https://github.com/etheralpha/ethfinance-extension
It as a few kbin features as well like automatically sort by newest. It even shows the amount of doots in here. wow.
Nitter bot would be awesome!
hey frens! regarding deleting your reddit comment history, what is your chosen way to do this?
Thanks for creating a weekly. I posted earlier about the ratio in a standalone post because there was no daily available. Happy to hear reactions here instead!
The ratio, in a sense is a way for us ethereum folks to cope with the constant abuse we have endured from btc maxis.
The day the ratio flips is the day we kinda proved that we were 'right' and they were wrong about us. It proves that ethereum is no longer a shitcoin
I for one understand why this sentiment surfaced, but I do agree that at a certain point we shouldn't care anymore
I dgaf about the ratio and tbh it's kind of cringy and silly that ethfinanciers focus on it as much as they do. Bitcoin could go to $1,000,000 and the ratio drop like a rock, ... , and I wouldn't care. I'd be happy for everybody holding bitcoin. What bitcoin does or is doesn't influence why I'm invested in and using Ethereum/ETH.
At this point now, I agree with what you say. I had a different perspective when I started in 2016 though, mostly because of the constant FUD I had to face when talking with militant BTC maxis.
At this point, I think there's nothing much left besides slow adoption that will make Ethereum thrive. It is now a matter of when, not if
Swell Discord got hacked, don't click on anything and GTFO!
at this point, I'm done with discord. What a joke.
All the nft projects I was part of are dead anyways. daily gwei and evmav discord seem to be the only active and informative ones.
As part of the Reddit exodus, I’ve also done a lot of spring cleaning of my Discord servers too. I’ve left all of them, except the EVMaverick one on which I lurk mostly. I am not happy with Discord as a platform either.
For one, Discord threads aren’t indexed by search engines, meaning much of the knowledge is lost on all non-participants. Second, searching within Discord is a pain. Third, there is just too many hacks, scams, and doxxing happening. Fourth, there’s excessive centralization in one platform and company that may eventually go to shit in the name of eternal growing monetization, just like Reddit did.
I thought u meant EVM discord and had a mini heart attack
Any decent mobile apps for kbin?
It's pretty decent in browser as a PWA. Then coming soon, you'll want to keep your eye on fast-moving app Artemis -- spiritual successor to Apollo, built for kbin/lemmy.
https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp/t/121025
The dev is very active on her Mastodon.
Clever naming, Artemis was Apollo’s twin sister in Greek mythology.
Thanks! Will keep an eye on it, looks promising.

gonna listen to the restaking alignment discussion with Vitalik, Sreeram, Tim Beiko, Justin Drake, Dankrad & Jessy for a bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP9f_1v9Ulc
edit: I'm only about 1/3rd in but this is already a great and enlightening discussion that I recommend everyone who stakes or is interested in staking watch
Also, Justin talked about moving ethereum to quantum resistance in 10, 15, 20 years. Is this an adequate time frame? Sorry for spamming, just a long time lurker from ethtrader to ethfinance to now kbin/lemmy and choosing to post in hopes that this community thrives here.
In my opinion, 10 years is definitely fine, 15 years is probably fine, 20 years would start making me a bit nervous that nation-states might have access to maturing quantum cryptography tech. But I know nothing about quantum tech other than they've been able to work with only a few qubits and that it's really, really hard to add more qubits to the action.
Sounds like most from the podcast are very cautious about restaking. For what it's worth, I agree and am glad Justin had a plan to neuter it if worse comes to worst. I know we all want to encourage solo staking, but I don't know if this is the healthy way.
New weekly, next week we may see a lot more refugees!
Been going through and deleting my reddit comments in preparation for the end of third party apps. Sad to see how this turns out
Manually reviewing or using something like https://redact.dev/?
I wonder how the api changes will affect redact, and pushshift for that matter... (does redact just use pushshift under the hood?)

Why delete?
deny them what they would deny you? I don't know but doing it out of spite would be reason enough even before we try to find a rationale like "I don't want them to exploit my likeness in AI"
Why not delete? If I'm no longer on the platform, and I have the option, I wanna clear out (or at the very least obfuscate) my data.
For me it was to not leave so many crumbs and doxxing risks, especially on a platform that I’ve lost all trust in.

Price action looking nice, I think we're due for a liftoff soon
I don't. With retail forgetting about crypto again I think we'll crab for as long as it takes to get to maximum despair
we're not at maximum despair? It's been depressing af lately.
well yes me too, but I'm not quite at the "laughing like a maniac at the lunacy" stage yet
