Yeah, I'm all for privacy, but I actually get interesting things recommended by YouTube. If I turn this off won't I just get random YouTube videos? No thanks. I also do use my watch history for "I watched it the other day, what was that video called again?"
The dialogue in Oxenfree is crazy, never seen anything else like that.
Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"
RIP RIF. I'm another one who used it 99% of the time. I'm glad I found kbin and I'm mostly over reddit, but I'm not over RIF. Thank you for all those years. Fuck you u/spez for destroying the site I've been a part of for almost 10 years... in a single week.
Maybe it's silly, but i love that I haven't seen a single one-word reply such as "*their".
EDIT: omg, what about those infinite threads of "this" or forced puns? Haven't seen those either (and I love bad puns, but those usually contributed very little)
Scunthorpe problem, if anyone else is wondering.
I just realized that it's hard to imagine someone saying you should speak English because lemmy/kbin is an amaerican website. I'm sure we've all seen that more than once on reddit.
Exactly. On reddit I'd probably type out this comment, see that the post is X hours old or see that there are already 5000 replies and think "meh, no one will see this anyway. Best case scenario I get an upvote or two". But here I feel like I'm part of a conversation and actually contributing something.
I wonder if anyone at reddit is starting to think "wait.... maybe the community IS important?" Nah, probably not.
What I love about this is that it's exactly the kind of thing he'd talk about on his show, which would be hilarious and also add more exposure the the whole thing.
My curiosity about kbin has become much greater than my desire to go back to reddit which is really weird. Definitely NOT what I had in mind, but I'll take it!
I mean, generally speaking, sending pikemen against a people famous for riding horses sounds smart to me lol
