I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

This is one of my favorite channels on YT. A good contribution in giving an overview of all of Stoicism, not just the part that people tend to focus on these days. I do have to dock him some points for mixing up Academic “Skepticism” and actual Pyrrhonian Skepticism, tho.

“That is not how biological scientists define the word ‘drive’.”

Her argument basic boils down to semantics.

Many years ago I posted a true story on r/nosleep or r/letsnotmeet (forget which) bc I didn’t realize most of those stories are fake. It was frustrating to realize my weird situation that I wanted other people to know about and empathize with me about (bc the cops did nothing) was largely ignored.

@CarlsIII Is there a way to set defaults at all? I always want subscribed + newest

Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.

@lom I asked this question a few days ago in @kbinmeta . I think it’s to do with how upvotes (don’t) federate or how many comments are posted/ federate to an instance’s copy of a post.

Everyone would ask them about what was going on behind the scenes and if Spez is as short-sighted as he seems. They’d reply they signed NDAs about most of the questions being asked and quickly regret creating a spontaneous AMA and then never log in under that username again.

It would be nice if Kbin had a “local” sort option like Lemmy does.

Edit: The option does exist, but it’s in a completely different spot: https://kbin.social/m/kbin/t/79735/How-often-do-you-turn-federation-off#comments

Kebin is too similar to Kbin. Kibby or Bink is different enough.

I’m weary of people who make this mistake.
