it’s way more active than people think it is. it’s just a bit of a closed garden app that is mainly text-based, so posts only get shared onto other sites via screenshots, and people always assume that those screenshots are ancient relics from like 2008 but really most of the time they’re from like a couple of months ago

as a side note, the CEO said that they’re going to implement activitypub into tumblr so hopefully in the future they’ll be an integration between tumblr and the fediverse, which would be cool

Why do people who post tumblr post screenshots act as if they’re a long lost civilization. people still post there. half the “ancient forgotten tumblr posts” are from like 2019 onwards

Sounds like a network issue. Do you get this issue when playing offline with bots?

Have you got netgraph (‘net_graph 1’ in the console) turned on? Should give you some diagnostics. When you get stutters and lag does it change at all? Like a non zero loss% or choke%? I know you said you have no packet loss but your problem sounds like it’s stemming from a network issue so its best to double check.

I agree discord is awful. It’s just microsoft teams for people who drink monster energy

But kbin (or lemmy) are fine for replacing reddit, as they have the same general format.

I think the reddit blackout is good, I don’t really like reddit as a website/company and if a lot of people feel strongly about it then I support it.

The problem is that unless you properly reroute the audience now, they will be gone forever. The reason why the CS kbin is so empty and slow is because I bet most people on the sub have no idea it exists. In order to find it, you need to go to the subreddit, read through a generic “reddit’s api changes are bad” paragraph that everyone’s seen a lot this month through to the end in order to even see the link. On new.reddit.com the kbin link is actually hidden behind a “read more” button. I bet loads of people have gone to the sub, seen a generic “We’re still closed because…” message, and just clicked away without even seeing the kbin link.

Please make the link more prominent. Maybe reopen the sub but don’t accept new posts, and pin a message saying “go to kbin for now”. If you don’t reroute them here then the audience will just go somewhere else and the kbin will die along with the subreddit.
