This was the last push i needed to actually move on from reddit. Now i'll finally be able to retrain my muscle memory to open kbin instead of RIF when i sit on the toilet.
yeah, it was my favorite as well - I played around with RIF and Boost, but kept coming back to Sync. At least LJ has confirmed he'll be developing Sync for Lemmy.
newnewreddit: 10 adds per post, every subreddit is blended together, and the comments from random other posts are added to every post. also the orangered vs periwinkle april fools weapons get added and cost money
New new reddit: Actual posts are limited to one per page. All other posts are bots or adverts. The real post moves away from the mouse pointer as you approach it. Gotta catch that post! Sometimes the bots/adverts posts will jump in front of the bullet (mouse click) to save the actual post (sometimes = most of the time).
I agree. I am a very shy person, so, it is not easy for me to comment, even if it is anonymous. I always think that nobody is waiting to hear from me in the enormous stream of other comments that are there as well. At the same time, if by some accident someone actually reads your comment, I feel that if you have a different way of wording or a different opinion, your head will get chopped off.
Because there are far less comments here, I feel like I can actually contribute something to the discussion. And people seem to be just nicer and more willing to understand each other instead of just repeating the same stuff over and over again. I like it better here!
I had learned about this a week or so ago, and the concern about the ability was that since the title does appear in the URL as well, how would that affect potential falsification and abuse. Well, in seeing this post about it again, I thought I'd experiment. Assuming your original title just mentioned Lemmy I edited the URL, and lo and behold it goes to this same page. So then I thought, is that title part even important? I cut off the URL after the 114218 number. It still goes here. So I guess everything after the post number is ignored, which means there's no problem at all.
Yes, that’s pretty common. Reddit URLs contain post titles as well, but they can be deleted without breaking navigation. I expect they’re added just for the convenience of human readers.
Other than the harmful "prank" type thing where you start with one title, gather comments and then edit it to make those comments mean something completely different, there is still the problem of creating an external link, getting the post to the top of hot/active/whatever and editing the URL to point somewhere malicious.
The counterpoint which usually is "you can already do that with short url services", to which the answer is "That's why they were all banned on Reddit".
Especially as there is absolutely no indication on Kbin that the title has been edited anywhere, and on Lemmy it's only that tiny pencil next to the post age.
Both the Lemmy and kBin UI show the domain of the link in a post. I would assume if someone got a post to the top of hot/active/whatever and edited the URL, then the UI would be updated to show the new URL's domain.
