It's another site in fediverse. It's a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I'm replying to your comment from kbin :)
Forgot to switch to your alt?
For posts I upvote and boost. For comments I upvote, unless the person I'm responding to hasn't upvoted their own comment.
I don't recall us defederating from them. Maybe try moving to beehaw.org, the definitely defederated from lemmy.ml and they have stricter moderation standards overall.
I upvote my own posts too, I do try to avoid boosting my own posts. We're from kbin though, I think on Lemmy self-upvotes are automatic.
I'm imagining him planning his vacation but making sure not to do anything that would make a good video. People who know him are suggesting off the beaten path attractions, ands just like no - I'm going to disney world.
If you build a linguistics magazine I will join :) I think the thing to do is pick the subject you're most passionate about/ most knowledgable about and create a magazine for it. Post things regularly and people will start to notice it. That's what I've done! https://kbin.social/m/Otomegames (@Otomegames@kbin.social for my federated gals)
"Another employee question in the companywide meeting asked if Google can more easily surface “authentic discussion” since the “Reddit blackout” was making it harder to find such content.
CEO Sundar Pichai chimed in to to say that users don’t want “blue links” as much as they want “more comprehensive answers.”
No I'm pretty sure people really are looking for authentic discussion, twisting that to say that we want more comprehensive answers is clearly Pichai trying to make the situation fit what he already wants to do: implement generative AI in response to searches to keep people on the site.
As the others have pointed out, this is a kbin thread. Since your account is on an instance that's federated, all the content comes to you, you don't have to do anything special.
I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen
Oh I don't know maybe it has something to do with Sam Bankman-Fried swindling $8 billion.
I only have so many interesting things to say. I don't really want to post for the sake of generating content, so making 5-10 posts right off the bat seems like the wrong way to go about it. I think it'd be better to make one post a day or one every other day or so that anyone who comes in can see that it's recently active.
I'd like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don't mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else's post is worth reading past the headline.
