Huh? Didn’t they start this like last month? Or is this not the “get money from your contributions” thing?

holy shit, I’ve been reading this url as “sh, it just works” for MONTHS and was super ??? about what it meant. I only just now realized it’s “shit just works” and…oh. that makes a lot of sense.

so I totally get your point. For example, a therapy group that says, “this is a free speech area” and has 8 members who are all queer, would probably not mean it as a dogwhistle, and in that case, it also probably would not be one. But also, they wouldn’t be saying it to anyone other than those 8 members.

The thing is, in this case it legit does not matter the intent, they are saying it on a public chat forum. That makes it a dogwhistle regardless of intentionality, and it will be recognized as such, because if you say that on a public platform on the internet, guess who will hear it.

And now no matter what their intention is, if they didn’t want it to be a dogwhistle, it was one, and now their moderation is 10000x as difficult, because look who they’ve attracted the attention of now - and chased away.

I’d argue, it’s always a dogwhistle. You might not realize you’re using a dogwhistle, but you definitely are.

In other words, “free speech platform” is not actually “free speech platform,” rather it is a dogwhistle.

just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year

lol I debated, but it sounded nicer to say community

(not this community specifically)

This is a kbin community :P

I’ve joined a ton of new discords in the past few weeks. they’re keeping me together until the threadiverse takes off.

Were you a subreddit mod? In this case my advice would be to contact the existing mods of the lemmy communities / kbin magazines and see if one of them is willing to hand the community over to you (add you as mod, they step down). If so, you’ve found your new home!

(you may want to re-make your account on the instance that you’re primarily spending time on, for convenience, in case federation doesn’t work for several hours at a time here and there, etc)

1, I realized I do, but its a js snippet to remove magazines’ custom styles. I disabled and tried again and same thing. For reference though, here’s where it’s happening
2. atm my firefox window is slightly wider than 1080 pixels.

Hi! I installed it, and a couple pieces of feedback:

1. when there’s an avatar, this gets kinda overlapped
2. sidebar is way too large when browser is fullscreen on a big monitor, that should get a width constraint

I love this though!

yeahhhhhhh if boost came with like a menu: “Boost to: -Your Personal Microblog -Magazine’s Microblog [pick] -Magazine as Article [pick]”

then the feature would be pretty baller

(actually im not sure if your personal microblog exists so…maybe just the other 2)

hahaha this is probably the best one here

1. Reddit Platinum/Premium/Orange gives you an orange check by your name, for the low cost of $10/month
2. old.reddit actually still exists, but only if you pay for Reddit Platinum
3. In order to vote you must have Reddit Platinum
4. Actually, in order to become a moderator you must have Reddit Platinum - that’s right, you have to pay them to volunteer. And you still have to follow the Mod Code of Conduct.

Yep, I said I thought it might be a controversial opinion because several months after the change I posted something saying “I hate this new rule, what do you think?” (since the mods had said that they’d solicit feedback after a while with the new rule & I never saw an actual feedback-seeking post) and got super downvoted. So I thought I was in the minority on this one.

Twitch Reddit Plays DevOps?

I love that you edited the title of this particular post haha

Controversial opinion maybe, but /r/AskReddit, when they introduced the rule that you couldn’t put a story in the question. I absolutely LOVED reading whatever wild story someone had that prompted the question, and then reading the thread only if the story was interesting. Then they didn’t want that to be the point of the sub and that ruined the magic for me. So I left.

/r/PointlessStories filled that niche though, and it never decreased in quality.

yes, don’t post this to /m/notinteresting!!
