Hey, I am one of the former mods of /r/startpages (quit a few days ago since I don't use reddit at all anymore). Unfortunately I'm not sure if it's possible to send out a mass message to subscribers. I was hoping the private subreddit message would be enough to get the ball rolling over here but I guess I was wrong.

I was on /r/startpages since it's conception and know it took a long time to grow the community there as well. I do believe we'll hit a good momentum over here eventually but I am open to suggestions on growing faster.

I started a job during the pandemic that doesn't even have an office in my province so I'm not going back to the office. I'm super happy about it, I can't even picture myself being in an office anymore. I have so much more free time without having the commute and being able to do chores while on the clock

That's unfortunate. A lot of bots have beaten them but it still stops a lot of low quality bots

Yeah this is why I'm not a big fan of sites that have "Free Speech" as their number one thing. You can't tolerate the intolerant and freedom from hate speech is more important than unchecked free speech.

I think self promotion is alright sometimes like in the case where someone writes a really detailed technical breakdown of something. It's easier to format complex subjects on your own blog than in a thread. I totally agree if the entire purpose of someone's account is to boost their own website though

Have you tried DualSense controllers? What do you think of them?

[–] NotSteve_@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean by that?

Ublock origin is considered the best afaik. It even supports Android Firefox

Beehaw is defederating from sh.itjustwor.ks and Lemmy.world.Personally I think it's silly to be upset over it considering defederation is one of the selling points of Lemmy.

Beehaw is just going for a more curated experience which I think is completely fine. I'm sure once they have more moderators they'll consider refederating anyway.

 

Hi, I'm loving Kbin so far! I was wondering if there's any mobile apps (iOS specifically) being worked on? I'm mostly wondering because I find that the mobile website isn't quite there yet but I might also be interested in contributing towards the project.

We're probably still a few more special edition releases away from hearing a launch date

Agreed. It's the one thing I kind of worry about with the fediverse. I don't want to lose my account and subscriptions if and when the instance I signed up for gets shut down due to lack of funds
