@stopthatgirl7 Same. I poked around beehaw a bit, but I am not sure its is good fit for me. Think I will check out lemmy.world, they seem to be really communicative on mastodon during their upgrade process.

But that's all I know about it. I am looking into mbin,too...but I really don't much about it.

I have been spending most of my social media time on mastodon lately.

From an authorised sequel to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four to a collection of newly discovered short stories from the late Terry Pratchett, there is a mountain of brilliant science fiction to get through this month

Or a thread to lemmy. Basically, how long does "federation" take?

(I am not sure if I am saying that correcly, but you know what I mean.)

@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.

Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.

On kbin, I can see and subscribe to Peertube channels, but I never seem to get any content.

Ethan Lee has been keeping your favorite indie games running for years by porting them to Linux. Now he wants developers to start thinking about “maintenance” instead of “remasters.”

A rights advocate said, “This is like the CIA putting out a statement saying that going forward they’ll only waterboard people with dignity and respect.”

I know Artemis is out there and it looks cool, but it is only for kbin.camp. Is there anything that supports kbin.social?

The biggest thing to note about the new messenger, by far, is that the developer intends to provide end-to-end encryption. More impressively, the app is intended to work with any Fediverse account.

This would make cross communication across the fediverse easier and may even interest others to join. It gives a leg up to the InstaRedFaceXTwitThreadApps since you can just use your one fediverse account.

There are definitely some open questions about how Sup works with the rest of the Fediverse. Do users just sign in to a service via an OAuth dance with their Fediverse accounts? Do the messages federate over ActivityPub? Does my server store my messages, or does just the app store those?

These questions and more would have to be answered before I signed up though.

@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.

The strict time limits China imposed on how long under-18s can spend playing video games had no effect on heavy gaming generally, according to a study of 7 billion hours of playing time

When it comes to college-aged adults who are glued to their smartphones, experts argue over whether texting while walking increases the risk of an accident. Some studies have shown that texting pedestrians are more likely to walk into oncoming traffic, while other studies suggest that young adults have mastered the art of multitasking and are able to text accurately while navigating obstacles. However, few studies have measured how texters respond to unpredictable hazard conditions. By simulating an environment with random slipping threats, researchers report that texting increases the risk of falling in response to walkway hazards.

How is it running a kbin mag? How much time and headache? Is it worth it? Why do you it? Do you recommend doing it?

@RealM

just kinda feel like this is a bigger issue than people realize for the moment

It is.

Let him. Twitter is old news. Just like reddit. Irrelevant.

I see that is copies a shortened version of the link to your clipboard. For example this link:

https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/177112/kbin-project-management-costs-financing-future-plans

is copied as:

https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/177112

Is that all it does?

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I have had the best luck over at @kbinMeta.

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Naaah. Keep the "influencers" over there.

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

looks like it. !msocial {{{string}} points to https://mastodon.social/tags/string. So, !msocial Cats searches https://mastodon.social/tags/Cats.

[-] readbeanicecream@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

Duckduckgo has a bang for Mastodon: !msocial. Maybe we should start putting in requests for Fediverse bangs: !lemmy, !kbin, !beehaw, etc.

It would be better if they would add !fediverse that searches all of the sites. Maybe one day!
