Wonder if the lack of an API for kbin affected the article? (kbin will have an API, it has it already technically, but more dev work is needed before it's ready, but it's just a growing pain as kbin is newer than lemmy, this is also why there are more apps for lemmy than kbin.)

Likewise with Beehaw - it's just a lemmy instance, but they've defederated with so much of the rest of the fediverse that perhaps to a newcomer it feels like an island.

Doesn't excuse the shoddy journalism but if we know why these mistakes made it to print then maybe we can come up with a way to do something about it.

Doesn't look like this is enough to shut down PullPush. I wonder how they're getting their data now.

Such a scam. Also completely believable - remember Reddit's NFTs?

Any hope for Awkwardtheturtle I wonder?

Yeah, kbin is quite recent.

I have a very bad feeling about this.

I have a feeling that it will really go like this:

A: So here's our feedback as admins to you, the mods, on how you've been running the subs.

M: Actually, we'd like to say ..

A: No, your feedback for us is that you're happy and we're doing great listening to you.

M: Actually, that's kinda the opp...

A: No, that's definitely YOUR feedback to US.

M: DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FEEL.

A: Goodbye, ex-mod.

Probably their line of thinking is that it doesn't really matter where the chips fall as long as the chips can be cashed in. If they can make ad money on protest traffic then so be it. (I'm not fully convinced that this is the case (that protest traffic brings in ads revenue), but who knows.)

Maybe they just want another safe sub. At least they know that r/Place won't go NSFW or go private in protest.

Alas, one of the most overloaded out there - kbin.social

Been an hour and nothing yet.

How long does that take? I just searched for @AmItheAsshole and am waiting for it to show up.

I remember when Deja was the way to read Usenet on the web (eventually was bought out by and became Google Groups). I still miss Deja.
