Does anyone know of a #Reddit sub that's good for just, like, talking about whatever random fiction book you're reading?
The kinda place where you can post "bruhhhh I just read Laundry Files #4 and HOLY SHIT-" kinda, stuff. Quasi book recommendations / mini-reviews / discussions, without the weird formalism/obsessiveness that is r/books?
Yes I know there's spots for that here too, but there's the kinda talk you do in a micro-blog, and there's the kind you do in a forum, and this sort really wants for a forum.
Goodbye Reddit I guess? I have been a Reddit user for close to 17 years. 16y7mo to be exact. Today I logged in and I got the red banner that says my account is permanently suspended.
I never posted anything other than a few car pics, some game screenshots and a few comments in my Reddit life.
Never got into any discussions, never posted anything remotely against the Reddit content policy.
Never got a private message that is explaining why I got suspended (unlike it says in their article)
After my appeal, I got a basic automated message that I cannot reply, explaining that my appeal has been reviewed and it is permanent. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have no clue why I’m banned, and no clue if my appeal ever got reviewed by a human.
The state of social media is going in deep :burning_poop: My prediction is that major social media conglomerates will screw or hurt their users one way or another and people will start living in their "cyber neighborhoods" instead of their massive "cyber megapoles".
This happened to Facebook, Twitter in massive scales. Maybe this is Reddit's turn now?
If Mastodon is Twitter, Friendica is Facebook, and Lemmy is Reddit, but they're all communicating together, is there any real need to make different accounts unless we want to try out different features?
I'm definitely a cat person, but this genuinely made me LOL. Make sure you click on the picture to see all 9 -- the last ones are the best. #funny#reddit#dogs
Removed all distracting apps from my phone.
Left only: telegram, books, pocket(really enjoy reading articles, thanks #Mozzilla) and thats all!
I still will use maps, #FireFox (for unexpected questions), and etc, but i removed all social media from phone(including #Mastodon and #Reddit). I will use mastodon and reddit but only on my desktop.
So I want to check how it will be going after one week! May be its just small step on my way to a #dumbphone
It was nice stumbling upon this #reddit thread about #QOTO some time back and seei g the overwhelming support for this instance from the wider community:
Is it just me or have discussions on #Lemmy / #Kbin (aka Reddit-like corner of fedi) become longer and deeper since #Reddit started doing a stupid with third-party client API?
Linux testen leicht gemacht: DistroSea bringt 39 Distributionen in den Browser
DistroSea heißt ein Dienst, der das Antesten von Linux-Distributionen deutlich erleichtern soll. Das Projekt ist klein, funktioniert aber schon recht gut.
In 1997, Jorn Barger coined the term "web-log" to describe his website "Robot Wisdom," where he logged his journeys around this exciting new digital space called "the web." Two years later, @peterme shortened "web-blog" to "#blog":

This doesn't just make me want to stand up and salute - it makes me want to build a barricade (or a #guillotine).
On to "Reddit Data API Update: Changes to Pushshift Access," a #Reddit thread where the volunteer mods are discussing another #enshittification move: Reddit's pre-IPO API shut-down that has broken all the mod tools that volunteers use to shovel out Reddit's Augean Stables, getting rid of spam and catfishing and fraud:
A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...
@atomicpoet@fediversenews Do they have a repository where you can submit bug reports or suggestions?
I can't seem to find any. I found one repo on GitHub but it has issues disabled. 🤔
YouTube videos and Twitch Clips aren't embedded properly nor image thumbnails presented in a decent way. It seems to fit them vertically then crop excess weirdly which makes all posts look bad.
All understandable if it's an early beta or alpha. Very curious about this and to see how it develops! :fedi:
