They never shut down, along with a few other biggies. TiL just reopened.

That was Yahoo! Answers. Quroa is...a titch better.
Looking at the Blackout Tracker it seems a few subs have folded early - r/adviceanimals and r/travel being the largest. Also the news subs and random ones like r/movies or r/photoshopbattles never joined in - were they not on board of their own choice, or controlled from on high?
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
I don't get where all this talk of the Fediverse being daunting to learn comes from. I thought it would be like setting DIP switches on a dot matrix printer...but I selected my usual username, provided email for backup, short summary of why I'm here - bam! Connecting to the rest of the Verse, how it's all interconnected, well, that's a titch more involved - but to me it's just registering again at lemmy or kbin, and I can link things up when I have the time.
The analogy of continents/states/counties/towns sums it up well. There was a really good post at reddit summarizing things.
Power Deleted mine yesterday. The idea of them making $$$ for AI training is creepy.
I think it suddenly is...maybe I changed a setting and didn't notice. The sidebar takes up a bit of room. A two line headline gobbles up 5 lines total. When I expand stories usually I'm just confronted with an expanded thumbnail, kinda pointless. Minor feature requests.
I'd like to be able to hide the story summaries on community pages, so you just see the topic. Reddit was super compact that way, which I really preferred. This was constantly abused too, of course...
I read that people were really impressed with how dedicated the RiF developer is working on their app - bugs or features were reported and bam! Fixed asap. I mean to join up at Tildes when they have another bidding round, it is interesting in its own way - same with Squabbles.
Didn't know we had an app. The RiF developer is working on an app for Tildes, which bums me out, RiF was my weapon of choice.
I've only convinced one real life friend to become interested in reddit, I asked her if she'd heard about all the drama there, and found out she'd been using the official app all this time...she was super shocked when I told her the stories about peoples' phones heating up using that thing.
There's another sub with GPT in the title, r/subGPT or something. The subreddit simulator always amused me, it was blatantly artificial - the content on this new one made me queasy, it was precisely the kind of one note jibber jabber we'd skim past constantly.
