scabrous-leper scabrous-leper @kbin.social

Just another middle-aged woman seeking refuge from the Reddit-meltdown; and a social outlet. "Fuck normal. When does normal win a goddamn prize?"

  • @randomwritings Always a good reminder...

  • Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests - by Adam Bumas
  • @ryan Yes, I posted daily, really enjoyed my interactions with various sub-groups of humanity, and now...I set up an outpost , a reddit lurker account, but generate zero traffic. no pics no text... I imagine that mine was a fairly common response...

  • Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests - by Adam Bumas
  • @paultimate14 this has been my experience as well...a huge number of hollow magazines, whose titles reflect the Reddit DNA, but are sadly empty. _I've been on kbin, lemmy and Masto since abandoning Reddit, and I wish them all the growth at the expense of the rotten old platforms that they can muster!

    @Arotrios @atlasraven31

  • Anyone else still kinda miss Reddit?
  • @bbplay13 yes, I miss the good parts as well...I used to be able to ask a question on how to repair something and get 20 solid responses in under an hour. There may be a corner of the fediverse that will fill a similar niche, but so far I haven't found it. I spend most of my time over on Mastodon.social , now, which seems to have more traffic, and maybe more niches. We'll see. I'm certainly NOT going back to reddit, but I do indeed wish it hadn't gone so pear-shaped, so quickly.

  • Plastic surgeon who livestreamed procedures on TikTok banned from practicing medicine in Ohio
  • @Aatube That is really proof that we are living in social media-induced end times. I'm going to go and eat a little cyanide now...

  • So why do you perfer Kbin over Lemmy?
  • @SamXavia I have accounts on lemmy, kbin and Mastodon.social, and I've pretty much settled on the masto. Maybe because I never was a twitter user, it is a slightly novel format for me. Anyway, there are plenty of humans there, so lots to share and engage with...

  • Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively?
  • @yunggwailo That's good to hear. I nuked my accounts and haven't been back to that particular dumpster fire.

  • What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?
  • @weremacaque it sounds flippant but seriously: The USA. I find this current view of my home country to be unrecognizably insane...we played outside, we drank and smoked early and generally got along. I grew up in an integrated neighborhood, integrated public school...

  • What's your favorite movie/serie/TV show opening credit ?
  • @Merlu Maybe opening of the Peripheral...The Amazon adaptation of William Gibson's excellent novel.

  • r/Moustache
  • @Anomander " unfuck the fuckery." Well said!

  • Parts of Florida's Broward County are under quarantine after giant African land snails were detected | CNN
  • @Calcharger I have long favored either sawing off the peninsula (ala Bugs Bunny), or at least a wall to keep Florida from contaminating the US...

  • "It's the content, stupid" - some #chaoticgood ways to encourage people to get off of Reddit and onto Kbin
  • @inkican Agreed. If we post it they will come...The good/bad thing is that we few have a responsibility to start the avalanche of posts...So I've been super-active on my lemmy instance, and here to an extent, toward that expicit end.

  • Finally made an account
  • @GreenPlasticSushiGrass Sound advice for those of us venturing back into the dating scene...

  • Don't delete your Reddit account
  • @tvbusy bummer. I already nuked my accounts-after manually deleting every pic-when all this started, and I moved over here.

  • A Sobriety community on Lemmy
  • @WhoRoger
    Right on! Thanks for this.

  • Reddit CEO praises Elon Musk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform
  • @Skyler ...That headline tells you all you need to know about that slimeball. Anyone who has any association with Karen Musk deserves to be pilloried...
