If a Kbin member requests deletion of their personal account and they happen to be a community owner, would ownership of that community default to the moderator with the next-longest tenure? That's how it worked at the bad place, is it the same way here?

How long does account deletion normally take after the deletion is requested? Also, do the posts get nuked along with the account, or do they remain on Kbin?

Jurassic Park.

Everyone was blown away, like holy shit, that was amazing

It's good in the sense that it's the last version before it got enshittified by ads, but the now nearly-legendary v2.2.1 is also 5 years behind in security patches. It was an awesome, fast, stable client and I miss it, but I don’t think it's worth the risk. Like you and everyone else has been saying, OP should be using Qbittorent.

But if it's satire, then what does GOP mean? Gross Old People? Oooh I like that, we should make it a thing.

I just read that README, quite sobering. Now I'm thinking of bus scenario backup plans. Like, there's stuff that is eventually gonna stop working if left unattended too long, and you just assume you're gonna be around to maintain it, you know?

Ah, you were just a bit before my time. I'm a Gen Xer and grew up watching A Christmas Story when it first aired on tv, which I think is another great example of a happy holiday movie. I can't believe I mentioned The Muppet Christmas Carol before it, hah. Yeah, I liked A Christmas Story when I was a kid, but I love it now that I'm older and get the more adult references. My wife and I keep it in the regular Christmas viewing rotation along with A Charlie Brown Christmas, which in my opinion are perfect when you want to feel the ol' winter warm & fuzzies. They're so comforting in a way.

“The reason is, people hate Jews,” Ostroy said. The host then briefly expounded upon the pervasiveness of antisemitism before concluding, “You know, if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses, there’d be an uproar.”

“Oh my god, forget it,” Margulies answered. “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them...

Wow. What the fuck, lady.

I like feeling up and happy and in a good mood, though - so I guess I'm an outlier, a holdover from another age.

"Relic from the previous century," that's what I like to call myself.

Note: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) is quite good. It has a solid performance by Michael Caine, who carries on as though it's an all-human cast.

Once you pop, you can't stop?

 

Before mom moved to Jacksonville, when she was still... deep breath I'm sorry, this is hard. It feels like it was just last week. She used to....what was that, honey?

It was last week. Anyway, mom used to tell me she was a big Connie West fan until this happened, whatever this is, and Taylor deserved better. I remember one time I tried to comfort her, I was like, at least Connie is rocking that shiny dress, right? But she just looked at me funny and put it in a safe deposit box after that.

I'll be honest, I don’t even know where Jacksonville is.

"We know it's a necessary thing for us to hit our new and needed goals. So overall, good progress and we push on."

Layoffs have been one of the defining events of the games industry this year, with thousands of jobs being cut across dozens of companies, all attempting to slash costs as the rapid economic growth of the pandemic years comes screeching to a halt. No company is more emblematic of both these extremes than Embracer Group. In the last few years, Embracer has embarked upon a frenzied spending spree, snapping up studios like Gearbox, Crystal Dynamics Eidos Montreal, and many more, all apparently to stack the decks in a deal with an unknown partner worth at least $2 billion.

 

I asked my great grandfather about it, and he just kinda wept for a minute, stared off into space and said it belonged to his friend Jen Ex or something. He held my hand in his bony decrepit booger hooks, and I could see the years, the decades of joy, heartbreak, triumph, and pain flash across his eyes, and he was... more alive, really present, you know? than I'd seen him in years. Then he peed his pants.

Hi all, I'm from kbin. One of your users, Agareth, told me to go hang myself earlier today. I checked their user history and there's hate speech there, they called some the 3-letter f-word. Just fyi.

I won't complain if you delete this post if this is in violation of your rules, but if you do that, please send this info to the instance admins or tell me how to get ahold of them. I'm not sure how messaging works between instances in the 'verse.

 

Greetings, Kbinners (and anyone else from the 'verse who might be reading this). Back on the platform most of us migrated from, there was/is a subreddit called r/menslib, which was like r/mensrights minus the misogyny and shitting on marginalized groups and minorities. Those of you who subbed will remember it was a great place to chat about mental health, gender roles, societal expectations, toxic masculinity, things like that.

So far, I've not been able to find its equivalent in the fediverse. Here on Kbin, there's m/men, but that basically mirrors the old mensrights sub. It's gross. I found https://lemmy.ca/c/mensliberation in lemmy.ca, but that community is small (9 members) and inactive. I used Kbin's magazine/community search and only found those two; I then tried Google, came up with no leads and figured either my Google fu just sucks or their algorithm is getting worse (likely both), so I tried duckduckgo and still found nothing. Pretty much everything I found that is even remotely related is from people looking for the same thing or is a post or comment on Reddit itself.

Is there a place out there like the old menslib? I mean, there must be, right? Help me, fediversers. You're my only hope.

Edit: I have been banned from m/men. I mean, that's fine, I wouldn't fit in there anyway, because I don't think men are the ones being oppressed.

 

Jolan tru! Hello STO captains, you can find us over at @sto (https://kbin.social/m/sto). It's not meant to replace r/sto, but to provide a space in the fediverse for the players to ask questions about the game, chat about builds, post Kurland memes, etc. Maybe build some kind of community, who knows. All are welcome! See you out there among the stars

As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public

The information I initially posted is misleading. Thus, I have edited the title and this content area to report accurate numbers.

As @roofuskit mentioned, the 8299 number is the amount of subreddits that committed to going dark, not the total number of subreddits, which is over 3,000,000.

And as @8thiest was keen to observe, 204 of the top 250 are dark, as you can see from this site: https://save3rdpartyapps.com/
