I'm still bummed that we have so, so few #horror/#thriller#anime (s) in general and an even tinier portion of that are actually good/haunting. I keep scouring #Reddit for recommendations, and we keep getting the same animes recommended - most of which aren't even scary/disturbing.
To this day, I can only say these few are good (and yet only a small number of them are actually scary):
#Yamishibai - really fucking good, some episodes were really scary, most aren't but still enjoyable. has 11 seasons but each episode's only abt ~4 minutes. would love a longer format.
#HappySugarLife - a bit like Mirai Nikki, some might find it more disturbing but i didn't. still worth a watch.
#Mononoke - not necessarily scary, but still belongs to the horror category, with a really unique art style and story. one of the best in this list and a must watch.
#FromTheNewWorld - another addition to this list that was unexpected to me. It looked like it was going to be your typical post-apocalyptic anime, but it's definitely really unique. I don't know if it belongs in the horror category, but the vibe of the story can be often dark and it's got a lot of mystery right until the end. Another must watch.
#86EightySix - similar to From the New World (Shin Sekai Yori), great OST. If you like Shin Sekai Yori, watch this too.
#MierukoChan - NOT scary at all, but it's all about ghosts/spirits, and it got pretty mysterious at the end. It gets unnecessarily ecchi time to time which was kind of ridiculous, but it's definitely a good watch.
#ThePromisedNeverland - One of my favourites. The friendships/relationships in this are very well written, it started out pretty dark, which does get toned down further into the series unfortunately but still really good. Weirdly, a mesh between #AOT Season 1 and #HunterXHunter.
Russia has fined Reddit for not deleting "banned" and "fake" content relating to the invasion of Ukraine. Apple and Wikipedia have also been targeted with fines.
When #Reddit decided to undergo reputational self-immolation earlier this summer by banning third party apps, I figured it was the usual "if we boot those guys we can cram ours full of ads" song and dance.
Definitely wasn't expecting their actual plan to be "we're replacing moderation with cryptocurrency bolted into our app, which will Save Online Communities."
Months hijacking request headers to push that obnoxious app-pushing wrapper on all images and that was the goal? Just ... wow, guys.
Reddit's r/malefashionadvice boasts 5.5 million subscribers and was the largest subreddit to remain dark after last month’s organized blackout. As a result, Reddit forcibly reopened the community, ousted its moderators, appointed new ones and alienated the group's power users. Here's what's happened since.
Puisque l'actu du mois d'août est relativement calme, on va vous proposer ici, à raison de quatre papiers par jour jusqu'à la fin du mois, une sélection d'articles parus entre l'été 2022 et l'été 2023. C'est l'opération #1andePixels en 70 et quelques articles, c'est parti !
r/Buttcoin, le sub #reddit sarcastique qui fédère les anti #bitcoin : à coup de mèmes, détournements et commentaires consternés, des internautes sceptiques douchent, depuis dix ans, les enthousiasmes des partisans des #cryptoactifs.

🇬🇧 I got banned for 3 days on one of the subreddits on #Reddit 😂 See what for and try not to laugh... I just replied to a stupid post with a stupid post....
🇵🇱 Dostałem bana na 3 dni na jednym z subredditów na #Reddit 😂 Zobaczcie za co i spróbujcie się nie zażenować… Ja po prostu na głupi post odpowiedziałem głupim postem…
To those who don't know: Each logged in user is allowed to place one pixel on the canvas per minute (or 30 secs? don't remember exactly) and a lot of users took part in creation of this!
Just FYI: You can help promote the #Fediverse by cross-posting.
There's still a sizable userbase on #Reddit and many Kbin/Fediverse users still use Reddit. That's fine. You can help in a small way by posting interesting content on both platforms, then mentioning "This post is also available on the Fediverse here:".
This will at the very least begin discussions about alternate platforms and I highly doubt Reddit can find any rule to fault you for doing so. This is also how Digg started leaking users to Reddit, so it works. Exposure is key. You may make a new user, or get a developer interested in contributing who wasn't aware of the Fediverse before, or didn't think it was significant.
One of my favorite albums, found it completely on a whim in some listening station in some bookstore and has been part of my collection ever since.
Sexsmith, with a solid & appreciated career up in native Canada never quite crossed the border (even though some covers of his songs have gotten pretty far).
A great Sunday album, if there ever was one. Enjoy!!!
Btw, this is me testing the limits of kbin's microblog feature, so the following post will be long. I will post a TLDR at the end.
It has been nearly a month since I've first joined #fediverse. Even before the #reddit exodus, I was already growing tired of the site for the fact that despite how large the communities were, they were very cold and impersonal. There was also the fact that for the #queer community at least, we had been siloed off from the rest of reddit, because nearly every topic involving #LGBTQ issues were very often met with hostility by a good amount of users, often followed by a locked topic. It was even getting to the point where I didn't even feel safe in the some of the more socially liberal spaces.
The fact that mods were being stripped of some of the few tools they had to keep their communities hospitable, I knew the writing was on the wall. I tried many reddit alternatives during the blackout, including #raddle and #tildes. But once I figured out how #kbin, #mastodon, and #lemmy worked, I found myself feeling right at home on the fediverse.
I think the main reason why is because many of the people here are misfits from other platforms. Many of the users on mastodon are former twitter users who were driven off by the corporate culture of twitter, and later by Elon Musk and the poisoning of the platform. Others are former redditors like me who found platforms like lemmy, and are in the midst of trying to rebuild the community they once had on thier former platform.
Fediverse definitely doesn't feel "mainstream" like the sites that many of us come from , but perhaps that is part of the appeal, and why I have taken to it far quicker than any other social platform I have tried in the past. I'm just hoping as the fediverse continues to grow and attract new users, that it doesn't lose it's quirky and experimental spirit.
TLDR: I like fediverse. It's weird, quirky, and I feel more open here than I was ever able to be on reddit. Don't ever change.
The story here, AFAIU, is that it's the same developer porting the app from a reddit to lemmy backend. I've never used it, but android users have been excited for it from what I've seen.
My first impression of sync: it's good, it allows me to use #Lemmy the way I used #Reddit. Don't know how much better it gets with an Account, as I only have one for kbin. Some apps only allow limited home instances without an account, here I can freely choose whichever.
Good meowning! A Tuesday kind of song to perk ya up. "Slugs" by Slow Pulp on #AlternativeNation (even though the new Mitksi song is living rent free in my head for days now)...
It's been a month since Reddit's new API pricing came into effect. Around 8,000 subreddits protested the change in June in an attempt to convince the platform to U-turn or at least allow third-party apps more time to acclimate. CNBC offers a look back at the app's humble beginnings, its rise to prominence as the front page of the internet and its recent API changes.
