  • I don’t use any Lemmy instance any more, seeing as how I couldn’t make myself ok with having named that fediverse constellation after a man who owned the largest personal collection of Nazi memorabilia in the world.

    I’ve been using KBIN, and even though it’s founder and main coder put out an update last week as to why maintenance and development of KBIN has been slow to the point of seeming as if it’s stopped all together, it still bothers me that I can’t block a domain (without losing the ability to see posts comments … it’s a known bug) and I can’t block sub/magazines/whatever from places like lemmyworld and hexbear (amongst others), can’t drill down on my own comments under my profile to see replies, and notifications though racking up, and showing the increasing number, can’t be accessed at all only showing the error we’re working on it page (this has gone on for a month now).

    So, yeah, it’s becoming less interesting the longer these issues aren’t addressed, and there are far too many children running around the fediverse (god help us when the idiot right wingers figure out how to onboard) without the ability to block at will.

    Hey, it’s all free, and the developers are all doing this gratis, out of the goodness of their hearts, and I appreciate that, I needed an excuse to shitcan reddit, as things are much much worse there, by design for engagement, just not in love with KBIN, and I guess that could change once it becomes more functional.









  • I did a shitton of drugs and fucked everything that moved for the entire semester I was allowed to remain at university, then they kicked me out. I don’t regret a single thing. Now, you’ll have no debt going foward in life, which is a huge leg up, and now you can put some concerted effort into doing things socially if you want to, it’s just more difficult as a university setting there’s a captured community forced to interact, and it’s difficult to find that on your own out in the working world. Difficult, but not impossible. Best of luck.
