FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more?1·1 year agoI wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more?21·1 year agoExactly.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more?51·1 year agoBut do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more?252·1 year agoUpvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialOPto Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•What is the practical difference between the main instances of kbin and mbin, from a users perspective?1·1 year agoThe world appear in the aggregator but when I searched specifically for one in particular, I wasn’t found. Just now it works so I don’t know what changed. Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have tried again.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Will it be possible at some point to have private magazines?1·1 year agoFor those with the skills, yes. But it would be good to facilitate less technical people to use the platform too.

FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•EXIT 0.1.0: Export subscriptions across kbin/mbin instances1·1 year agoThe export process says it has copied subscriptions to the clipboard, but when I paste I just get the code I had pasted in to the browser console. I’m using Safari on macOS.
It’s not a big deal. I don’t mind starting from scratch.
I’ve been waiting for my account deletion request to be accepted for a while now. Maybe a few weeks.
I like Kbin in theory, but the spam is too distracting for me. I’m not in a position to volunteer either.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialOPto Technology@kbin.social•Ethical alternatives to commercial social media. Is it possible?1·1 year agoTrue, but the format is unique. The post format breaks up the flow of chatter into easily discernible units of conversation.
IRC, Discord and others have the continuous stream of thought with no beginning or end. On the other extreme, Instagram and TikTok require an image or video to post at all.
So I would say that FB groups have a distinct utility / identity separate from just other users being there.
@SLaSZT are there any instances in the EU?

FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•What's the most unexplainable/unlikely thing that's ever happened to you?15·1 year agoI remember learning to play pitch-and-putt (simplified golf) and when I finally got the swing right, there was a “thunk” sound twice or three times as my ball bounced from tree trunk to tree trunk. It was like some kind of nature-based pinball. I couldn’t believe it. When the disbelief passed later that day I couldn’t stop laughing.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto History@lemmy.world•The Second Ku Klux Klan: How It Gained Social and Political Power Among White Protestants101·1 year agoSome very informative and leading articles pop up from that site. I learned a lot about indigenous issues (inflicted by settlers) there. Was really surprised given the associations I have with the brand.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Books@lemmy.ml•Deepen your empathy by reading more and reading more often, linguist says4·1 year agoI don’t understand how the eye movement camera fits in to the experiment. I was wondering if any stories, even audiobooks and TV series have the same effect but I’m no clearer from reading the article.
Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?
