so i startet on kbin.social and lemmy.world, but kbin became shitty and overrun with bots. than i switched to kbin.run and now it seems to be down. No idea what actually happened there. Don’t think i will start a new kbin/mbin account for now. i think i will just stay on lemmy.world for now and not have an alternative instance as backup

It’s beautiful, but there was a good chance to get stuck everywhere in cars without all-wheel drive. In my neighborhood the snow services dont run through to remove the snow from road and parkings, so you have to do it by hand. Took 3 hours to free our house with 2 people and there was not much place left to shovel the snow too. Over night the temperatures dropped to ~ -12°C so everything is frozen now too. Can’t imagine what 70 cm in a day would be like. This was probably the highest single day snowfall i experienced, the only comparable time was i think in 2005

But yeah has been a while since i last saw a white christmas. Nowadays the most snowfall seems to happen in february/march

yeah searching for it, there seem to be certification institutes and audits. The system is quite nicely explained in this video: https://youtu.be/YQ2GOtpYiqk

in germany most plastic bottles are reused several times through a deposit system and after reaching a limit they are almost completely recycled. Always wonder why other countries can’t seem to be able to use a similar system

So lemmy.world lets you just copypaste images directly from your snipping tool and hosts them on lemmy.world/pictrs

Kbin sadly does not do this, no idea if other lemmy instances do this

Too bad the Titanic is below 3000 Meters, we know he won’t pass 3

Sounds kinda like they are trying to grab “power” aka. growing their community more than others through exclusivity.

Well if that turns out to be the case other communities can probably just block them in return, but still not a fan of that development

IT is not in my field of knowledge. Don’t have enough time and competence to handle a project like that

this is my favorite comment on here so far

A part of me wants to kinda salt the earth and hopes that there will be a data shredder script that doesn’t delete all comments, but instead uses ChatGPT to bloat all of them up to maximum comment length. No idea if this has a considerable effect on data size on the server. But I would be happy just imaging that it does.

A more harmless and funny approach could be to instead to just push the original comment through several iterations of translations and dialects till the original comment becomes nonsense.

The non-confrontational part might be just numb to all the corporate greed making stuff worse and is just trying to enjoy this new experience instead

yeah i saw that info posted 3 days ago before the Blackout on the redditisfun subreddit. At that time it might have still looked like a good idea. At the current time i don’t think it is.

No idea if it would end well in the future though, i could see the protest keep relevance, but it might aswell blow over or lose traction. This is also why I believe that it could be good if the protest had a community event on the side to generate more publicity on the side. It might drag in some international influencer/streamer communities like last time aswell.

Yeah i understand that view, i just think that it would be a good timing for it and bring more publicity to the cause.

Also going a bit offtopic: if it helps, haven’t experienced any crashes since using lemmy.world

also tested kbin.social but it was pretty slow and laggy at the moment. But i really like the design on this one a lot

also using squabbles on the side, but that one will not be my new home since it is not on the fediverse. It did feel like another good reddit replacement and was a bit more user friendly since it is less complicated than the fediverse sites.
