To those genuinely interested in moderating

@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons.

Looking to switch distros

Hi, sorry if this isn't the right place for this question. I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for about 9 months now and have also been experimenting with an Ubuntu GNOME Wayland session for the past month or so. I don't really like distro-hopping, but using X11 isn't cutting it for me. After giving GNOME an honest shot, I...

Now that some time has passed, what do you like and dislike about kbin?

I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me.

What's something that you're grateful for?

It could be something from today, the past week, or whatever. All things big or small are welcome too. I'm sitting outside today as a a part of my daily routine--it's nice and sunny out, and there's a gentle breeze which feels very relaxing. Doing so is pretty nice between the time I spend at the computer.

Which Resident Evil introduced you to the series?

For me it was Resident Evil 2 (2019). I grew up avoiding horror games, but the game released at a time where I felt like revisiting things I didn't like when I was younger. Since then, I've fallen in love with the franchise and have played RE Remake, 3 (2020), 4, 4 Remake, 5, 6, 7, and Village. I go back and forth on which is my...
