Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.

I see people talk about fediverse alternatives to the big names, but the social network I want to see have a fediverse equivalent the most would be nintendo wii u's Miiverse! Miiverse was a strange social network, where you could post images, chat, and even create doodles in. Instead of likes, or dislikes, there was "yeahs". Did not last past the wii u. While there have been miiverse alternatives in the years since, none of them quite caught traction, perhaps maybe a federated version could fix that?

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

Figured to crosspost this here too, since I think it could help reddit migrators get comfy (or for those who prefer the colorscheme I suppose).

I am working on an userstyle to bring the "old reddit" colorscheme to Kbin. This userstyle also has some optional quality of life features to make the layout more similar to old reddit as well. I suggest to check out the original post for more details if you're interested!

Also if anyone can figure out how to make the Kbin text on the top not white, that would help a lot! I will make sure to credit you.

What is it?

I love looking at aesthetics, but my favorite one is one from the 2000s. Greenish-greys with blurry filters. It was used incredibly often, yet there's very little documentation on it! I hope with this community to change that, or at least give the aesthetic more appreciation.

Why is it named like that?

Modification of a suggestion from my r/tipofmytongue post about the aesthetic. The person suggested Seafoam Shame and Verdant Melancholy, so I combined the two.

Some examples

Rihanna - Don't stop the music
Minutepass commercial
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Eminem - Stan (most extreme green example)
Twilight
