I was literally typing a reply about how it still is useful to onlookers and how I have had my mind changed as a third party witness to online arguments before, and then I saw this. Thanks for doing that!

That's how I felt about Kbin way back when. I hope PieFed grows and works out!

As an out of touch person, I have a possible explanation for this: have you ever said "shit" repeatedly as something goes wrong? I imagine some people would write a story where that happens and write it as "shitshitshit" and not "shit shit shit". But outside of that situation I have never seen or heard "shitshit".

So problem all solved?

Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.

Yours also allows me to open it on Mbin.

You would be 100% correct. It was for long-form high quality writeups of drama in a hobby, not looking at drama specifically on Reddit.

Really wish people used [email protected], from a quick look the three you put seem to be about specifically Fediverse drama

Mbin user here, link in the OP kicks me to lemm.ee while originallucifer's link lets me find it on Mbin

 

I am really not the plugin type, but I might actually try to use this one!

 

Heard it described as somewhat like Obsidian before.

 

I have been meaning to check out Mastodon and never actually fire, not knowing what instance to sign up for…

 

A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins.

Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to https://joinbookwyrm.com/, another Fediverse thing.

 

I have no idea how to do this. Sometimes I pick up the yarn and it runs nicely, sometimes I end up with, say, 1 inch of length that just keeps getting shorter the more stitches I make and I must manually pull more from the ball instead of me just getting more yarn from the ball naturally with each stitch. ("1 inch" was just made up for this example, never actually measured it.) I have no idea what is affecting this. But the tension is awful and my practice piece looks like this. Please help me!

Your goal is to connect two random words by creating a chain of new words that bridge the gap in their meanings.

I got

narrow -> width -> measure -> statistic -> fact -> fiction

 

Caveat: when the article mentions the "dominant hand" and "non-dominant hand" they really just mean "right hand" and "left hand". These knitting styles do not adjust to your personal handedness. So I guess you can read it as written if you're right-handed, but if you're left-handed this was not written with you in mind.
