@001100010010 I live in bone conducting headphones most of the day, but when I’m at home, it’s either my crappy TV speakers or dedicated over the ear headphones

@BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they’re not, then that means that they’re fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that’s not a truth I want to face
@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn’t know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching
Kebin is too similar to Kbin
That’s why it’s good!
@julian_schwinger You can upvote it :)
@koncertejo It does, but it’s not quite as convenient for the microblogging side of things. It can do them, but it’s more suited to following hashtags and topics from the rest of the fediverse than it is for following specific people
Not really. I used to mod /r/brisbane, but basically stopped interacting with reddit around 6 months ago. I’ve been on the fediverse and threadiverse ever since!
I just realised there were no bin chickens in that photo!
My girlfriend recently had a serious accident on one that required surgery, and my ex girlfriend broke her neck on one a few years ago! I was planning on getting myself another one after my last one was stolen, but I don’t think I will now…
So, this was taken in Redcliffe on Saturday. I’m not sure whether that counts as “Brisbane” or “this week”, but I don’t care. Close enough :)

Taken last Saturday at Redcliffe. I’m not sure it qualifies as “this week” or “Brisbane” but I don’t care! :P

@patchw3rk I’m in the same boat! I created them before the migration, because they didn’t exist. But I don’t have the time or the desire to admin communities with hundreds of people. I hope this becomes easier at some point
@Roundcat FYI, it looks like you did this as a “post” rather than an “article”. Posts appear under the “microblog” tab in kbin and are grouped with content from Mastodon and other apps on the wider fediverse. Articles are what you want if you want the post to appear as a regular thread in a kbin/lemmy community
I mean, to me, it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t deal with marginalisation in any real way. No unique selling point? The fact I can exist here without being constantly harassed by bigots that have a green light from a mega social media platform that doesn’t give a shit about me is a pretty strong selling point. Strong enough that having experienced it, I will never return to a centralised social media platform that isn’t aggressively supportive of minority rights.
@minnieo I think the real question is how many people actually check who upvoted what?
@xray I wear pride gear, because my queerness often isn’t visible to people otherwise, and I want the other closeted and scared queer folk out there to know that they’re not alone. So I tell the world who I am loudly and proudly
@briongloid Not admins. Users should be able to do it.
As an admin, there is no way I can be across all of the niche subtleties and naming schemes of communities I’m not involved in. If I have to group them, I’m going to get it wrong.
If it’s going to sit anywhere above the individual level, it should be at the community mod level, not the instance admin level. But of course, many community mods aren’t going to want to actively point people at other larger communities that overlap with theirs.
@thedavemiester Well, this is the first time the fediverse has been how I first learned about a local disaster, so that’s something…
