Also, specific to the role of Speaker, he’s disqualified due to having been indicted of felonies with a term of more than two years.

Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet

Pretty impressive! Wonder where kbin instances fit in those stats.

I think the service charge bit, that is widespread as an alternative to tipping in Europe, makes a lot of sense in general.

Key word in the above sentence is: alternative

Ideally there would have been a way to merge threads and preserve the comments from both. Too late now I guess, but something to keep in mind next time something like this happens I suppose…

A shamed. There’s actually a lot of good stories if you are able to view the older threads on this magazine. See for example https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]?p=3

I usually browse just the local communities

Ditto, except it’s kbin.social in my case rather than lemmy.world

I probably would have never read this story if it only existed on kbin
I would presume the instance is important here?

That can be the case, sometimes issues with federation can cause threads to get lost across instances, and a new instance may not get all the existing threads on a pre-existing magazine.

However, it looks like both your account and this magazine are hosted on lemmy.world - since you’re both on the same instance, you should have been able to see the older posts on this magazine. (Note: magazine is the kbin term for lemmy communities - i prefer it as the term community can be ambiguous). I’ve never used lemmy proper so am not sure how that works, but on kbin you can view the older threads on a magazine quite easily.

Hmm so it seems like that deleted the comments old the older post from others too. Didn’t expect that to be honest.

Mostly was just curious why this one in particular was chosen to be reposted twice.

Didn’t you already repost this last month?

Can someone show me how to find this? I can’t figure it out.

Also curious if it’s possible to see who is subscribed to a magazine or who is following me.

And why did it shut down and have to be replaced by r/196 ?

I’m on kbin too and I can see the alt text in the raw HTML:

However, my browser isn’t showing me the alt text in the tooltip.

I mean maybe that’s the plan. He tried to back out of buying Twitter because he knew it would hurt him - now he’s trying to extract as much wealth as possible from Twitter before making it self-destruct, so he at least breaks even and can pay all that debt back without taking any losses himself.

Talk about out of touch.

I’m not too worried either way. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/38559/Killing-a-giant-Reddit - basically whatever happens, happens, and just by being here and not there, the end will probably be accomplished given due time.

Actually I’m skeptical about this. There were some other posts pointing out huge upvotes happening during the blackout, and others noticing a surge of bot followers appearing.

So I’m not sure that I trust those numbers at this point.

The other point is - it’s too soon to tell. But if advertisers and investors start having second thoughts about Reddit then that hurts the IPO.

The key isn’t in how many subs come back or how many folks return. It’s about getting Reddit’s attention by affecting what they care about most so that they have to start listening to their users again.

Too soon to tell, but that just means that at this point in time, it’s not a failure. Have hope!

By that counter more subs chose to stay dark than go public again.
