I don’t actually think that, but wanted to be the first to complain about it.

    Shit, I remember when I had to check the cloud flare box just to get into kbin and now all you just show up without any extra work. SMH

    I miss the times where every post was about how shitty reddit is. Now it’s only original content. It’s really going downhill fast.

      I remember that. People would just bitch and moan about how far Reddit had fallen. And how /spez ruined everything.

      Now we have to put up with increasingly wholesome and thoughtful content. Oh well.

      Yeah I miss just browsing through loads of stuff I’m not interested instead of having a bunch of magazines and viewing the subscribed list.

    I totally agree. The first two weeks of this month were the kbin golden age.

    It has been all downhill since then.

      Ah, yes - the Eternal June. It still has not ended.

      No, I mean it literally has not ended. It’s only the 28th.

      @DrChickenbeer I was on Reddit 17 years ago when all the posts were about Lisp and Python programming. If you asked anyone on the site during any given era, the golden age was when they first understood what the site was about.

          Absolutely. The golden period is always the exact moment you discovered it, whatever it is, and as soon as you become more familiar with it and begin to see flaws, you perceive a decline.

        I dimly remember visiting reddit in the mid 2000s and it seemed to be some programmers sharing pictures of beer.

    When I set up this account two weeks ago, I was led to believe that my salty old.reddit using ass would find a new social utopia, but now its full of people just like me.

    At the time the network was called kbin.social, it was before it was renamed ernest.online.

    In the good old days we have supermods, who owned like 50 magazines, it was the far west, first one first served. it was crazy. I think I saw someone pick up interestingasfuck from the ground. He just found it there. Now he is a billionaire.

    I mean, some of us did use kbin before the great reddit influx, so, it could very well be something someone has said genuinely already :)

      I still remember the times, when /kbin consisted mainly of @ernest’s science links and federated Lemmy posts. When /kbin was aimed to become an all-encompassing frontpage of the Fediverse, with all content from Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, Mobilizon, Friendica, Pixelfed and other fedi software to become, at a glance. When the most exciting thing was the accessibility of new Fedi content types, on the same app. Semantic Web, but determined by folksonomy and decentralised.

      And now, having a community? having to listen to them? being simply a Reddit replacement? Seriously? I did not consent to that! /s

      Yah. Seeing only 4 stories on my phone makes the experience not to my liking. On RIF I had 8. On Jerboa I have 6.

        Yeah I’ve always used list mode on sync for reddit which is super compact, about 12 stories fit on one screen for me. I’m not a fan of the big cards that seem to be popular, I feel like I have to do so much scrolling when there’s a fair chunk of the content that I can tell isn’t for me at a glance
