They read 1984 and went “That sounds perfect! Now how do we get to that point asap?”

Your comment made this post so much funnier than it already was 🤣

Medication and therapy helped a lot.

That was me in the middle of my depression. Still is sometimes on bad days.

Iirc that’s intentional so you are more likely to read what others have written before starting your own comment chain. That might just be Tildes though, there that’s explicitly said to be the reason why the commenting box is at the bottom.

That worked, thanks.

Tried to add my alt account on a different instance to the moderator list of the only magazine I own and got a nonsensical error message: Value isn’t blank, but the error message says “This value should not be blank”

@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn’t smell like satan’s unwashed genitals.

@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?

@Moeaverage

Has anyone crossposted this to aussie.zone yet?@L4s

https://kbin.social/d/lemdro.id also gives a 404.

Just checked if lemdro.id possibly defederated kbin.social, but that’s not the case. Could be that they have the same bug lemmy.ml had that blocks all requests from kbin instances.

And fedia.io

Technically, yes. Practically, it sometimes fails (bug).

@Black_Cat Ich habe kurzerhand lemmyshitpost und 196 blockiert und habe seither keine Bohnen mehr gesehen, ist also relativ begrenzt.

Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It’s not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren’t counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.

I’m sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It’s called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone’s profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn’t being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.

[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that’s a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]

Booooo, it’s age restricted and I never managed to age-verify my youtube account.

Right-clicked on the link, copied link, went to archive.org, pasted link into wayback machine, selected most recent (in this case only) snapshot.

As you can imagine, it doesn’t work if archive.org hasn’t archived the link yet.
