Is PeerTube a good Youtube alternative? in c/fediverse@kbin.social
[–] slybird@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I think RSS would be the best Youtube alternative. RSS works great for just about anything you want to broadcast. I don't know why people refuse to use it for video.

Best kitchen utensil brands for long-term? in c/BuyItForLife@kbin.social
[–] slybird@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

IDK. I've never had a kitchen utensil break on me. Not sure it matters what brand you buy. When it comes to kitchen utensils I think the vast majority are buy it for life.

I'm searching up my interests and finding magazines for those interests, but there is absolutely no content in a vast majority of them. If the curious Reddit users coming here don't find content when they search up their interests they won't stay long and this site will fail.

The people that create Magazines should also propagate content into them. If they are not passionate about the subject enough to propagate even a few starter pieces of content I wonder why they started the magazine in the first place. Do they just want to be the top mod?

This site is filled with people that are just mad at Reddit, but that anger at Reddit isn't what will cause this site to grow and become a thriving environment. This site needs content.

What do you think of subreddits protesting with rule changes (e.g., only allowing John Oliver)? in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] slybird@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Idk, but I can't imagine it being very effective. I don't think most reddit users actually go into subreddits directly. I think most people engage on reddit through their front page and multireddits. When a sub puts garbage up it will just be removed from their multi reddit list or front page. Once the removal is done the content in the protest sub won't be missed or seen.

I've not seen this mentioned anywhere. Might be a warning for some. Favorite/Reduces voting records on this platform are public. This platform requires an email address, at least it did for me. Can't (kbin.social)

Overtime voting records contain a lot of info about a person. If for some reason the two accounts are connected a lot can be learned about a user using this platform. Might be a good idea to use your alt/secret email address if that is a concern.

Reddit Admins Deny Subreddit Users the Right to Vote for Further Blackouts in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] slybird@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If they do come it will be out of curiosity. If the communities are not built and active they won't stay. So far the only active communities I've seen are the Fuck Reddit communities. The vast majority isn't interested in that.

My little sub of 13, no rules and like 5 posts has been threatened. in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

I can't be on several platforms? Out of curiosity I joined other potential reddit alternatives in the past even though I had no plans on leaving Reddit. Same situation here.

I have no problem with this. I'm upset with r/chicago mod team for not having opened back up yet. Protest or not, it is an important service to the people that live in Chicago. The mods shouldn't be allowed to take it away just because they don't like Reddit. If they don't like reddit's admins or policies they should remove themselves from the mod team.

Edit: Favorite and Reduce votes are public on this platform. Every comment and post voting record is public. A bot could crawl through and figure it out for every account. If for some reason you have your account linked to your email and that the two are connected and found out someone could learn a lot about you.

What was your best and worst experience on Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] slybird@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interaction with r/conservatives. I made a comment that I downvote memes that dumb down complex ideas. I was banned for it.
