The term has actually been rolling around for a few weeks, it’s just used to describe Lemmy and Kbin, since they’re based around threads instead of twitter-like posts. Nothing to do with Threads by Meta

Make sure to include a description of it in the square brackets for our visually-impaired friends!

Maybe !spotted will work? If that doesn’t, this should

Hmm that might be an issue with the way kbin processes it. I know there were some changes to how that worked in the most recent kbin update, @nostupidquestions used to link to https://kbin.social/m/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world but it also does the same for me

I use kbin so I might be wrong, but you do !community@instance.whatever, so !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, becomes !nostupidquestions

I’m not sure if it works on Lemmy, but on kbin @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world also works, it becomes @nostupidquestions

The warning is just a general reminder that kbin is in beta and remote communities won’t always work 100% perfectly

It’ll be fun to see all of the ports of it to random systems in the next few years

I’m really happy to see what it’s growing into! When I joined, there were only a few thousand users across Lemmy and kbin, and it was pretty quiet. But the quality was definitely there, which is what convinced me to stay. I’m also really happy that casualconversation is over here, I used to be pretty active on the subreddit but stopped using it a while ago, definitely gonna be more active here again :)

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

I started messing around with gemini a while back, it’s a little involved to set up, and intentionally-limited feature-wise (it’s heavily inspired by Gopher). Very fun messing around with it though, and customizing my HTTP proxy was pretty satisfying. You could access my site either through a gemini browser or a normal one, and the normal site had a few extra bells and whistles that made browsing it a little better

Totally, fair enough. It’s specifically about the /hj tone indicator, how it is mostly useless because of its ambiguity and it not being known by people in general, and how that extends to most tone indicators. It’s basically what you said but goes way more in depth (almost crazily so but that’s sorta their thing)

Personally, I don’t use tone indicators for pretty much the same reasons as what you said above. I also think that anything that could be conveyed using them is probably just better off being spelled out

Here’s a jan Misali video that’s somewhat relevant to your second paragraph

There is but it isn’t on by default, it depends on what setting your instance’s admin sets

You’ve learned well, now go on with this knowledge and change the world

Why not you stupid bastard

Yeah, at first I didn’t like the new style, but as the trailer went on I started to like it more and more. It’s a refreshing update, but it almost reminds me of the style of the older games too in some ways

What bothers me most about this is how personal it sounds, and how emotional he’s getting. He’s not thinking rationally

That’s the magic of ActivityPub! It’s the protocol that most of the fediverse is built on, and it lets users from completely different fediverse platforms share posts with each other. It’s the special sauce that lets Mastodon, Lemmy, and kbin (and more!) work together

Reflective surfaces inside cars are the bane of my existence

That’s not true, /r/worldnews and /r/news were created on the same day, and /r/worldnews is actually 3 hours older than /r/news
