As Twitter flounders, Mastodon refreshes its official app for Android users
  • I tried a lot, but Toot! is the best of the bunch.

  • Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.
  • To clarify, I meant posts on kbin/Lemmy, so that someone would land on kbin/Lemmy when searching for things, like people do now with Reddit.

  • RG35XX - This is amazing!
  • I got some bootleg Airpods from Temu that my iPhone recognizes and treats as Airpods. I call them my Airpuds. LOL. But, tbh, the audio quality is on par with my wife's actual Airpods. The construction isn't as solid and I wouldn't sweat on them much, but for 20 bucks, I'm happy with them.

  • The Supreme Court Sold Its Soul to the Christian Right
  • I disagree with the use of "Christian Right" in the headline. This isn't really about religion. These positions have been GOP positions for a long time.

    Affirmative action itself was racist by definition, because it discriminated solely based on skin color. It needed to go. There are problems with certain minorities making it into higher education, but that can be solved by changing how taxes are distributed to schools, not by letting unqualified people into college programs.

    Student loan forgiveness was a joke from the start. If you didn't want to pay back the loans, you shouldn't have taken them. If the issue is the cost of higher education, then we should focus on passing legislation restricting the amount that can be charged for college tuition.

    Regarding the cake issue, you can't compel speech, and last I checked, art was considered speech. So, decorating a cake in a specific way is speech that can't be compelled. This isn't 1850. There's more than one baker in town. If you don't like the policies of a particular bakery, go to the next one. The hyperbolic responses about "No Jews allowed" is ridiculous, because that would be religious discrimination, which is a separate issue. Also, it seems a little wild to accuse the Christian Right of not supporting Jews (Israel).

  • Lemmy is confusing and poorly limited. How does Lemmy work? Why are there so many Lemmy clones? Do I have to sign up for each of them? Does my post show on each of them?
  • Artemis is supposed to support kbin and Lemmy. If it doesn't support Lemmy right away, then it wouldn't help to register on a Lemmy instance, because Artemis still wouldn't support Lemmy.

    You're right that you can't sign into a Lemmy instance with your kbin credentials. Each site is it's own site. If something is posted on lemmy.world, it sends a notice to kbin.social and kbin.social fetches the info and publishes it locally on kbin as well. Comments on the kbin post are sent back to lemmy.world. There's basically a copy of the post and comments on every server. Not every server will "know" about every other server though, so content could push across the entire federated network slowly sometimes.

  • Twitter locked behind login page.
  • Governments should just set up a single user ActivityPub instance to broadcast their updates.

  • Twitter locked behind login page.
  • I have a feeling that Meta getting involved in Federation is going to be the doorway for a lot more people to figuring this out.

  • Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.
  • Are kbin or Lemmy posts being indexed by search engines? If the content was created, would anyone be able to find it?

  • The beauty of the Fediverse
  • I'm on kbin too. Kind of wish there was an iOS app. It seems like Lemmy is getting apps faster, but I like the way kbin looks and works more.

  • A proper smartwatch
  • Yeah? I kind of figure that's how it'd be for me. I like the idea of how the Apple Watch integrates with iPhone, but I don't like the way it looks.

  • Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances
  • I'm glad you think so. Please see the attached screenshot for an example of what I'm talking about. I'd like to have the text one size bigger so I can read it more easily, but then whole words are cut off or missing.

  • A proper smartwatch
  • What I want is a watch that looks just like old fashioned analog watches, does all of the fitness tracking you get from a modern Fitbit, and transmits it to my phone. I don't want a square watch or a digital display. I want classic beauty with tech under the hood.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • What if they actually just want responses from people on Lemmy, though?

  • If there's one thing I won't miss about reddit
  • I agree. The one upping and leaving phrases as a subsequent replies thing was so annoying. I hated it.

  • Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances
  • Lemmy devs aren't great people anyway, in terms of who you want to be developing software. Anyone that would think hardcoding word censorship into their software because it's theirs has a few screws loose, so I wouldn't put it past them to have done this intentionally.

  • Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances
  • I do wish kbin looked a bit better on mobile, though. I have larger font on my iPhone and instead of wrapping, the text just goes off the screen and can't be viewed.

  • Obama calls out obsession with Titanic sub while people turn blind eye to migrant boat tragedy
  • It's more fun to publicly comment on, mock, shame, and laugh about a bunch of idiots that died doing something stupid than reflect on the driving forces behind a boat with 700 people on it capsizing in the Mediterranean.

  • ​Canada Passes Law Forcing Facebook, Google to Pay Media for Links
  • Yes, and all of those links on those news areas put users on the news sites.

  • Canadians will no longer have access to news content on Facebook and Instagram, Meta says
  • The amount of traffic they drive to the news sites is payment enough.

  • People with pets: how do you deal with all the fur?
  • Does anyone else smell diarrhea?
