I’ve been using Connect for the last few days and so far really enjoy it. it’s still missing a few features but I really like the UI.

Well said

Sorry for your loss, but what a fabulous way to go out! Bravo!

I do too BUT, it’s nice to actually get to engage with people when I make a comment due to the smaller community. Reddit is so big, my comments usually get buried quickly under the memes and quips.

Maybe it’s nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.

Looks like someone is trying to brownnose his way to an acquisition/merger.

LOL it looks like you’re right. Oh well. Maybe a poweruser could use some of these extensions :D

I use Brave. My most used extensions are:

• Awesome Screenshot - takes partial and full browser window screenshots. It can also record screens. It looks like they’ve added “ChatGPT” into the name for some reason.
• Bitwarden - password manager
• VisBug - allows you to view webpage styles and tinker with the layout of live webpages.
• Homey - a replacement for the default New Tab, which includes beautiful live wall papers and convenient access to bookmarks and other widgets.

Is this just the PWA (progressive web app)? If so, just FYI it’s not a true native app – more like a downloadable version of the normal webapp that you can pin and run like it is a app. I installed it as well (for my kbin account) and it works well enough as a good stop-gap.

Just saw the Beehaw has defederated from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. so you seem spot on in your assessment.

Sadly, Reddit has likely won the short-term battle. But hopefully, this Blackout raises awareness of the need for alternatives. Whether it be Lemmy/Kbin, some up-and-coming site like Squabbles or Tildes, or something not yet created, the seeds of migration off Reddit have been planted. If Reddit has such apathy for its communities pre-IPO, just imagine how bad it will be post-IPO when they are dealing with Wallstreet directly.
