Ukraine is about to have its own greatest generation. I take some solace in the fact that after they win, the world is going to give Ukraine enough money to rebuild
The thing that’s even funnier is that I lost Apollo at 3:55 PM, so they didn’t even wait until 00:00 GMT
Boost is a kbin upvote, while upvote is a Lemmy upvote. So if you want promote some good content on kbin, you have to use boost
Reddit has clearly gone the route of TikTok and Facebook: engagement >> user experience
It’s no mystery why Reddit feels so negative these days
But that’s good, no? The power users are the minority that actually build the community. So we get the core base of Reddit without the problems you get from that site trying to become more like Facebook and TikTok
My predictions: reddit gold subscribers get pushed to the top of comments sections, followed by ads showing up inline in comments, and then the introduction of features like a marketplace.
They want to be TikTok and facebook so badly that they are going to forget what makes them unique
They probably used it to watch Interstellar so they could get some of that sweet sweet Quantum Data
Reminder that kbin is now federated
Thank you, much better
It’s also good because it makes the experience easier when a new user onboards. IMHO, there should be a system in place to discourage someone from creating a community that exists on a different instance. This encourages people to coalesce into groups quicker, and if someone ever abuses that group, people always have the option to just…move on to another instance

We’ve abandoned passenger rail, but not freight rail. The USA consistently ranks as one of the top users of freight rail (and by many metrics it is the top user of freight rail). The issue is that most American cities outside of the northeast corridor tend to be far enough apart that you are going to be better off flying. High speed rail hasn’t really caught on yet, but I suspect in another 15 years it’s going to be lot more common now that it’s starting to look commercially viable
