  • @Mr_Buscemi is right. It’s about Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group and Putin’s ex-best friend getting removed out.
    Ever since the armed rebellion that he attempted the Russian state media apparatus and all of the millbloggers as a whole have been ordered to remove Prigozhin completely, to erase him from the public view.

    And that is similar to soviet tactics from Stalin’s time, where similarly erasures have been performed.
    The most well known ones was the picture in which Stalin appeared next to Yezhov, Yezhov former chief of NKVD eventually fell from Stalin’s grace, long story short he got a sham trial and later executed.

    Kbin just sounds cooler, dude.
    I mean, lemmy - that’s just lame with extra steps. Eww. Yuck. Yucky. Not cool. Actual cringe, tbh. 🤢
    Kbin. That’s like cool-beans, dude. Actually rad. And based. 😎
    Who doesn’t want to be cool? I tell you, nerds, that’s who. Do you want to be a nerd? Didn’t think so.
    Checkmate. Try proving me wrong (pro-tip: you can’t)












  • Reddit had a huge amount of tankies that only lived on a handful of isolated subreddits.

    I don’t know about others but this hasn’t been my experience. From what I’ve noticed a lot of left or left-leaning subreddits have been taken over by tankie mods.
    I’m much happier with how kbin/lemmy/mastodon/etc work, at least this way I can choose my left/hard-left/left-leaning communities that I wish to interact with without them being controlled by tankies or other authoritarian flavors.


  • Hello fellow kbinner… kbinnite… kbinmate… what’s the word we’re calling each other again? Anyway, I feel the same way.
    One of the main reasons why I didn’t choose lemmy was explicitly because the kind of red authoritarian crowd they seemed to attract. Sure, there’s gonna be people like that on kbin as well, but so far it’s been pretty decent from my point of view.
    Ngl, the drama is pretty nice when you’re not involved in it 🍿


  • Another aspect that people ought to consider: monopoly is actually bad. Shocker, I know.
    But if you have a corporate browser engine that pretty much controls the entire browser market, then whatever standard that browser implements it will automatically become the default. That’s bad, Google is evil.



  • When I came across the app (I think it was on reddit), users were recommending that you set up another account in case Spotify catches on and bans your account (so you don’t lose your favs/playlists/etc)
    And that’s what those people (not me) did, they set their original account playlists to public so they can be accessed by the second account.
    However for as long as they (not me) have been using that app nothing has happened to their account.

    Also just checked, they (not me) have been using that app since august 2021 with zero problems.
