Don’t all children look stoned when they’re excited? Idk, I don’t have kids.

And with Reddit opening up another r/Place experiment on Thursday, users may soon have a big new canvas to express their discontent.

Spez is either looking to quiet dissent accounts, or really really needs to lure people back…

@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

And could they censor it if it’s not offensive? We could just make Kibby and Lemmy. I mean, I’m down. Or just the fediverse logo!

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Or maybe a QR code that goes to an intro to the fediverse post/video! We should really plan this and make it. I hate Reddit, but I'm willing to go back to bring awareness to the fediverse.

I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea. (kbin.social) en

If you recall reddits growth many of their communities evolved as offshoots of a single generic community. This made it easier for people to see discussions they normally would not get involved in, and once the posts in a similar category reached critical mass it moved to a sub Reddit....

I’m a poster on a small magazine and I upvote and boost all posted content. Also, lurkers of small magazines need to just put some content out there! Put you’re voice in! I can almost guarantee you will be well received if it’s relevant and on topic.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

It really just depends. I was a lurker (and occasionally commented) in a couple of Pokemon TCG groups on Reddit and I never felt a need to contribute because there was so much content already. I now create posts and comment because I recognize the magazine needs content to thrive. If there are others out there who are the same as me, and want the community to thrive, I don’t think asking them to make content if they can is too much. It’s not anyone is requiring it, but it’s a way to build and give back to your community. And it’s not too hard to do on a Pokémon TCG community, though I can see how it might be difficult on others such as a tech news magazine.

But on searches, if they type hardware, PCHardware will pop up because it has hardware in it.

I did this while the whole API thing was happening and only a couple people liked and joined, and one user said “what’s going on with Reddit?”

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, but the sub I made a replacement for was small and specialized, but the super low numbers here don’t really facilitate a good community because most of the content was people telling their stories. I’m not running back to Reddit by any means, but I do miss that community (r/Narcolepsy if anyone’s curious).

@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

u/SchnoodleDoodleDo in the r/aww community (known for their cute animal perspective poems) was another. I could see all their upvotes being worth something.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

This is my thought - many good content creators left and they are now desperate for getting them back. Wiping all awards and coins in the process is an idiot thing to do tho. Seems they’re just making more people mad.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

And the fact that they still can’t see the value of good moderation after all the protests is just beyond moronic.

And unfortunately half the shit from my friends are shit reposts.

How can I automate the process of deleting my remaining comments that scripts weren't able to delete by using the csv file received from my GDPR data request? (kbin.social) en

I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Thank you for the link. Any guides to making this work? I'm a bit confused because I downloaded the exe, but it won't run so I'm not sure what to do, even after reading the directions on the github.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

I believe that “0 comments” you can see is limited to about 1000. There’s a list of your comments that are viewable by your profile page, and that only caches the first 1000 in any category (top, new, controversial, etc).

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Okay, I’m not sure where it originated, but here’s a link to a relevant comment. I read it in a post about deleting Reddit comments when I first started exploring the fediverse, and I’m not sure I can find it but iirc, a Reddit admin confirmed that when you check your posts, it only shows the top 1000 and comments are only pushed off this list for “new” additions, and the list is not repopulated when you delete things. Therefore, if you delete all your comments, then check the list, it will show none (or if you delete 100 comments, it will show only 900, etc). Something about how these lists are populated in Reddit’s system. It is also relevant that some of the Reddit delete programs out there use this list and so will never delete all your comments.

I will keep looking for the original post tho.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Thank you for the clarification!

And I think if you get your GDPR data request from Reddit, you can get the direct links and that allows some of the comment deletion/editing tools to do their full job, but I’m not sure on the full details on that.

For example, they said they were repeatedly told before the company conducted layoffs in June that layoffs wouldn't happen.

The same with API charges to 3rd party app creators.

This is it, and the great thing is the Aldi brand is like $2 and tastes just as good.

I don’t eat cereal that much these days, but I love the Golden Grams type cereal, whatever brand. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is solid second choice, tho. These days tho, I go with the more adult cereal… being a healthy adult is kinda lame sometimes.

I genuinely love moss. It grows in my yard and is so soft and soothing. Moss is a friend of mine.

I just tried to see how to reference a magazine in Kbin by searching Google. (google.com) en

First try, Reddit post in r/Kbinmigration (I think) and it didn’t let me see the real post. Second time, it doesn’t even include Reddit posts and all about citing a magazine in APA style, and the like. Google dropping Reddit search? Because of API costs? No, because searching Reddit news yields Reddit as the top 5 entries....

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Then is the reason that no Reddit posts appear on the search because Reddit is restricting access to that page?

Reputation Points.

Karma?

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

I’m not touting it, it’s a decent way to make sure that an account is reputable and behaving in a way conducive to the principles of the communities it’s participating in - “upvotes” means people like the things they are posting and saying which means they are good users. It’s just a little …familiar.

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

I understand what you're saying, but in a general sense, a person with good "Reputation Points" can be seen as contributing positively in the communities they are in. Even posting a controversial opinion and getting downvoted to hell (which I have done before on reddit) won't kill a person's Reputation Points / Karma. I'm still torn on whether it's a positive or not, but it can definitely used as an indicator of whether a person is being a positive member of the site.

However, @PositiveNoise brings up some of the negative points as well. Another being that it reinforces an echo chamber of ideas and stifles discussion, with unpopular but well-fashioned arguments being downvoted because they're disliked, not because they're harmful. And further, repost bots got tons of karma on reddit, upvoted by people who didn't see it the first time, which reduces the quality of the sub / community / magazine by burying OC that couldn't compete against an already proven successful picture / tweet / meme / etc.

It's a conversation. There are arguments for both sides imo.

@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Then why they so expensive tho?

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

considering they'll probably also receive considerable hate for even contemplating the decision.

Honestly, when Christian first brought up “maybe subscriptions for Apollo to offset API costs,” I was fine with that. I get that we were receiving a service for free that cost the company money, and I was fine with paying a reasonable amount for that. I just don’t get why they had to make the costs so unreasonable that even subscription based wouldn’t cut it.

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities (kbin.social) en

Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a...

I found one of my fave communities on kbin, and it wasn’t active. So I am posting and checking for new posts every day to help it grow. I understand how you feel, but if you want it to happen you should try to be the change.

Me too. RIP two best apps. Reddit is dead to me.

(Worth noting that the vast majority of markdown in the value of Reddit and Discord holdings by Fidelity predominantly occurred last year.)

Oh, that means there’s more room to move down.

Christian Selig (@christianselig@mastodon.social): "Really Important Apollo Update...." (indieweb.social) en

"I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️ Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set”...

And didn’t they tell him there would be no major API changes, specifically in terms of cost “in 2023”?

“As an AI language model”

As someone who uses ChatGPT frequently, the placement of this phrase is suspect imo.

Just got mine today. I'm not sure on the request date - I did it from a comment on here that said we should flood Reddit with GDPR requests. However, I'm going to guess somewhere around the week of the blackout 6/12. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell what your request date was?

I think it will be useful for deleting my account's comments since it has all the links to the comments. Also, kinda cathartic having all this archived personally since I will be deleting/altering all my comments soon, then deleting my account.
