Nobody should. Fuck that.

You're asking for a lot here. I promise you that anyone who answers this is going to have a bias. The obvious one is Niger is a strategic interest in the area for the US, and Russia is the reason for the coupe. The history goes back thousands of years, and you're not going to get one little happy link to wrap it all up for you with a bow on top.

So what? They're smoking those so that they don't get addicted to nicotine. Smoking 1 pack of cigarettes in a day is not that bad for you. Doing it every day for 30 years is a death sentence.

I remember when reddit also used to show 0, then it was one ad, people lost their shit, and reddit said don't worry, it's just one.

Side note: I never cared about ads on reddit. I cared about the loss of down votes, their treatment of the RES folks, their shitty app, their shitty hosting, etc.

But this raises the bigger issue, how do we pay for this? I'm on kbin, I have trust issues with money, but nobody is even asking for money low key Wikipedia style.

What does this mean, exactly. I'm still trying to figure this all out. I'm on kbin.social. I'm hearing all about Lemmy and fediverse. I see helpful pictures that people post of clouds with arrows, indicating that there are different servers, but I'm confused as fuck.

I can't figure out if there are two version of /r/politics, if someone else could have my username, or if I can see everything on every server, or how do I control what I see?

If anyone reads this, which I don't think anyone will, I am really looking for a Ukraine update page. That's the thing that made me log into reddit every day.

I used RIF, Boost, and Apollo. Whatever. I'll try anything once.

We didn't hear from RIF or Boost as much because I think they thought reddit was negotiating in good faith, and they would come to a compromise that didn't shut down their app. That was never in the plan for reddit, and they lost a few weeks of talking to people about what was happening.

It varies, but you're both right. Depends on the sub, depends on the post. In terms of the userface here on kbin, what I see lacking is a way to make a chain disappear because that mini-thread doesn't interest me. Old.reddit would let you collapse a particular comment thread, or make all child comments hidden unless called for.

-first post. Fuck you spez, for ruining reddit for me because you wanted to fuck the apps that built your site, and 5% of your users still enjoy.
