Don't shoot until you see the white of their eyes. Or they repost and spam the place.
I welcome all newbies, so long as they are human. Dated an alien once, she was from X-R/3DY. A cold planet, just like her.
They have various alt accounts, if I recall correctly. Before closing my account on Reddit, and this drama happening, I am sure she mentioned opening an account on Beehaw.
Precisely. This is how I recall the early days of Reddit. Even then, early Reddit had people pointing out bugs and features they wanted. I'm happy here, and happy with the progress. Some people need to chill.
I do adore a cover version that brings something new to the song;
Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday
Gotye - Somebody that I used to know - Dutch choir
Not quite a cover, but more of inspiration taken from Paper Planes - 'Paper Plates' by Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer
Umbrella - Manic Street Preachers
Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant
Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Passenger and Dear Prudence
Cornershop perform Norwegian Wood
I could go on for ages. Might add some more later. Hope somebody enjoys at least some of these?
I hope this is a bug, as my avatar looks so fat. It is playing with my frail ego.
Size isn't everything. I bet you have heard that before?
Actually, Reddit is too big. Go back ten years, then it was a good size. Before the tons of spam, reposts, onlyfans, owners hell-bent on turning Reddit into some Twitter freak shit show.
The magazines are growing faster than the content to fill them. I have lost count of the magazines I have gone to subscribe too, only to find no content. Hopefully this will change.
I am trying to stay well clear of magazines that keep mentioning Reddit. Science, sci-fi, mechanical keyboards, retro games, etc... have all been mentioned.
I think I have done my rounds and checked out almost all alternatives. Many have good points, as well as bad. The thing that made me think the Fediverse is the place, is seeing actual debate. People actually stating sources for their opinion, then replies stating alternative sources, etc... No hate, just calm breaking down of viewpoints and decent scientific sources being used. I couldn't recall the last time I saw that on Reddit. I have been in that place for 15 or so years.
This made me explore the Fediverse, that was about six months ago. I explore any new place that pops up, mainly from curiosity. Some I really have hated, but what makes one place better over another can be subjective. So I am not going to hate on anyone that opts to move elsewhere. Life is too short for that shit. I moved to Kbin after exploring other places in the fedi-wotsit-time-continuum, for no other reason than it felt relaxed, and heading in the right direction.
I love moths.
Not sure if it's niche, but more UK based communities are needed. Not sure the place is big enough for city by city or even county. But UK politics, casual, sport, etc...
Seeing friends get older, have kids, and them growing up. Older tech. Old news stories. It all does very little to me. Until we reach music. I am a huge music lover, and relate music to so many things in my life. Many songs will trigger something, maybe the gig I was at, a relationship, a location, etc... That really gets me. In my head, I still think I'm in my mid-twenties or something like that. Putting memories into a historic timeline in my head is almost impossible, apparently this is related to ADHD related. Soon as a song comes on, I am transported. Also, my mind is pretty good at remembering details like the album it's from, artist, chart position, year, etc... when i struggle with retaining any other information.

Thanks for all the work you do, and I hope you find it rewarding. Most of all, look after yourself mentally and physically. The same goes for the whole team.
The fact you are being transparent and honest about your work and plans for the future, is a huge bonus. Even admitting to setback and problems, is refreshing. I certainly don't expect a super human running the show, and everything to be perfect. If anything, that would make me question the place and avoid it. So many places talk rubbish, spewing out a word salad, but actually say nothing. Even worse, they say one thing and do the precise opposite. You come across as .... well, the total opposite of Spez and those running Deaditt.
