Would that make them Lemmigrants?

Well of course they do. They want to turn an every-few-years OS purchase into a monthly subscription fee, like they did with O365. And eventually they'll drop the ability to install apps except through their store (under the guise of providing "safety" from malicious apps), so that they can collect a commission on the third party software sales market as well.

"As young as 5"? I'd like to see the evidence for that.

In theory one of the big instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml should be indexed and searchable using the site: tag, and their local caches of communities originating on other instances should be included. It might mean that Google returns multiple duplicate pages (one for each instance indexed) however, unless Google takes steps to reduce duplication. Time will tell I guess.

Oh my. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAQ-VZUdiqg

The Star Wars Christmas Special TV show had an audio-only equivalent. I regret learning that today.

This is the first time I've read "The Threadiverse" used to describe Lemmy and Kbin. I think that's an excellent way to differentiate them from the rest of the Fediverse apps, while recognizing that they're largely the same in purpose.

You know what they say about IOT: The S stands for Security.

He's moving to Belarus, which may as well be the same thing.

There's a constant stream of live coverage in the /r/worldnews Ukraine war megathread, but otherwise yeah it's surprisingly quiet.

Maybe have the bot pick one of the similar magazines like world, news, and worldnews for each crosspost instead of posting to all of them? Since there are so many new communities a lot of us have subscribed to all of them for now while we try to decide which fits our needs best. By spamming into every magazine/community that is similar to the Reddit sub you're pulling from, you're creating a lot of duplicates in our feeds. Otherwise I welcome seeing more content here, and applaud your efforts!

 

How do I send a private message to another fediverse user from kbin? I thought maybe if I viewed their profile I'd have the option, but nothing obvious stood out.
