i hate spez as much as the next guy, but i don’t think they care at all. everyone who visits reddit is contributing to the traffic numbers that they will show investors, including the people who write “fuck spez” on a page that those investors will never look at

chump change for the zuck, but still way better than nothing! good job norway

data breach

had heard absolutely 0 about this. thank fuck i wasn’t impacted, brb gonna go change my discord email to a burner alias from simplelogin

good :) a very sincere “get fucked” goes out to every single person intentionally responsible for the investor-pandering at r*ddit! thinking of you during these troubled times. reaper, meet what has been sowed

holy shit, that realization just hit me like a brick wall. on reddit it was always low-hanging dead horse meme answers floating to the top, but here people just write down their genuine thoughts without trying to pander to anyone. it’s very refreshing

smells like scab

sick! go team!

right there with you. i’ve cut facebook, twitter, reddit, and many physical things out of my life, and i gladly welcome youtube to join that cold shoulder list

holy shit this is perfect, i pray they add support for us kbin accounts to log in

god i love living in the EU

avoided reddit search answer like the plague on Google

i’m hoping that the “privacy redirect” browser add-on OP linked to will help make that easier! then, if it works properly, you should be able to click reddit links with peace of mind knowing that you’ll be taken to a different unaffiliated domain instead, giving spez and his corpo hogs 0 traffic

i made a lemmy account before i found out about kbin, and i’m so glad i found kbin. lemmy worked alright, but it seemed like a very unfinished product. the UI gave me the same feeling that the “new” reddit design does (overly mobile-oriented), which is why i’m so so so happy that kbin’s UI seems to be overly desktop-focused.

bonus points for kbin (and i don’t know if these are intentional or just coincidences that i’m overthinking):

• comment scores are subtly pushed to the right of the box, which seems like a great anti-bandwagoning design choice. this way, the immediate focus is on the content of the comment instead of an arbitrary score based on what everyone else thinks of it. less voting prejudice!
• you gotta scroll all the way to the bottom (i think? or maybe i just don’t know how to use the site) to get to the “add comment” input field. maybe this will make people read more of the ongoing talk before contributing with their own points

anyway, happy to be here! let’s make it an amazing place
