honestly, who is this targeting? conspiracy theorists?

minnieo , 5 months ago

minnieo OP , 6 months ago

enjoy! it's such a unique experience

i need to play it again. what's your fave part? i have to say midwich elementary is mine, because it terrified me so much. i also enjoyed the hospital

I loved old reddit and only ever used it lol

minnieo , 6 months ago

god i wish most men were like this. but there's 50 yr old men out there dating women fresh out of highschool, yuck

minnieo , 6 months ago

most hopefully they weren't irresponsible enough to date a teen, that'd be just as yuck no matter the gender

minnieo , 6 months ago

true, i made an assumption. either way, its yuck to date someone fresh out of HS if you're 10, 20, 30, 40+ years older. imo there's no reality where an 18 year old should be dating a 30 year old, even though it is legal

minnieo , 6 months ago

i dont get how calling someone that age dating a teen 'yuck' is dismissive lol

minnieo , 6 months ago

huh? it is literally exactly for word what i said, so what are you talking about??

"most hopefully they weren't irresponsible enough to date a teen, that'd be just as yuck no matter the gender"

also, how am i lecturing you?? i dont even know you or anything about you. you replied to me calling my opinion dismissive and i disagreed, point out the lecturing. and anyway, why is there an issue with how i choose to express my opinion on something controversial, or anything in that matter? you find it dismissive that i think middle aged people dating legal teenagers is gross, okay, why should i care that how i expressed it is apparently dismissive??

minnieo , 6 months ago

im not pushing anything on anyone?? this is my opinion and i am allowed to have it, i'm not making any laws. i also agree with the other commenter that there's no way a relationship between a 30 year old and an 18 year old doesn't have an unbalanced maturity and power level dynamic. this is my opinion.

This is a very accurate representation of the USA tbh (source: am american)

my brother in christ, it is a joke and this is a shitposting community

minnieo OP , 6 months ago

i was thinking of putting a collar on him with a note + number attached in case he belongs to someone so they can contact me. he leaves for small amounts of time but always comes back. good thinking.

this is gonna go nowhere per usual, but still, the very idea of working in your dreams is fucking horrifying. black mirror type shit.

minnieo , 6 months ago

that thing is hideous

thanks for this <3

i havent been active here for weeks, months maybe, but before i was arguably one of the most active on the site during and after the reddit stuff. i do miss making scripts and styles for kbin, the feeling of community, and the urge to create content. coming back i see a lot of activity died off, expectedly, but there is a tight-knit but welcoming community that has formed and it's nice too see. does feel a bit empty though?

minnieo , 6 months ago

niche communities with activity is what's really lacking here, would make all the difference. though, when attempting to fill those niches, which i have attempted, it seems there's not many people around who are interested.

minnieo , 6 months ago

agree here. growth dipping and lack of participation pushed me away a bit. i didn't mind it being small, but when i saw i was the only one in my communities ever contributing content, i felt discouraged.

minnieo , 6 months ago

how do you mean?

minnieo , 6 months ago

the good thing about decentralized social media is that, if an admin one one instance is being a dick, you can move to another. imagine if that admin ran every single instance? in the way that reddit has one ruler. thankfully, it's not like that here.

minnieo , 6 months ago

i gave up months ago trying to get people OFF reddit and 'defeating' reddit will never, ever happen. i say this as someone who 'led' a big part of the boycott. i had a 3k member boycott server and dedicated weeks to the movement. the most we can do is post and try to grow and naturally attract people to kbin/the fediverse. dont make it about beating reddit, make it about making kbin amazing in it's own right, being the best it can be, beating who it was yesterday.

i totally agree with you, though, it's about content and interactions which there is a SEVERE lack of. people complain about that, then they don't post in the mags, and i know not everyone is a content creator but if you want kbin to succeed then you gotta put a little effort in. a singular post, a singular comment, is better than none. its so draining being a mod and being the only fucking one posting lol, you'd know, as youre the primary poster on your scifi mag.

minnieo , 10 months ago

literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.

be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.

i really did not understand and this. this mag is for migrants and updates on the migration, a literal hub for migrants from reddit.

if a migrant has something to say about migration, about their own migration or what caused them to migrate, anything related to the reddit migration it belongs here. pushing them away like this and making them feel stupid for making a post when this is now supposed to be their safe haven away from reddit is NOT helping

unrelated but these ai generated article images are fucking creepy

i started learning it bc i was told it was easy, and it was, but i switched to JS because I had no practical uses for python, but i can say it did help me understand JS better

minnieo , 11 months ago

maybe is a bit out of their league, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking and getting started that way. you don’t magically know what to do, asking can help you gather the steps required.

there is never anything wrong with asking and learning

minnieo , 11 months ago

yes

minnieo , 11 months ago

yes, you can. you only need to sign up for one instance, thats your "home base" and you can see everything from everywhere else from it. it's like you can make a gmail account and still email ymail, yahoo, outlook, whatever else

minnieo , 11 months ago

i thought lemmy had like 250k+ (?) in total and then kbin.social has like 40-45k

minnieo , 11 months ago

this fucking sucks. i am very disappointed that the protests lost steam and everything is just back to normal, swept under the rug. they showed their hand, acted like fucking dictators, and everyone is just like "welp thats it!" and gives the fuck up. it's just sad. it feels like 90% of the people who said they were in this were all just being performative.

so many of us dedicated a lot of time to the protests, left our communities, migrated, all for everyone to just go crawling back. i won't go back. i am staying on kbin. but man, it fucking sucks to see reddit face 0 consequences because Spez was right, "this will blow over"

minnieo , 11 months ago

well, i am from kbin and the people i have migrated are also on kbin, there has never been any confusion, it's made migration really easy. i have been told lemmy has intimidated and put off migrants by those migrants themselves. i think initially people should start on kbin, they will grow a natural understanding about federation and the fediverse, and from there they can choose if lemmy or others suits them more as a platform.

but, we have to actually get people here first.

minnieo , 11 months ago

omg so adorable! what kind of cat ?

minnieo OP , 11 months ago

Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)
