Kind of surprised the SNP’s numbers didn’t go down TBH, I expected them to come out of this rather badly in light of recent scandals, particularly since a general election would be a fairly good opportunity for Scottish voters to give the ruling party a kick up the backside without actually removing them from power, in much the same way that we use local elections. Glad to see the Lib Dems are going up though, it'll be good to have a counterbalancing force to the Tories in parliament, plus they’re more liberal on social issues which is nice, though they could be a lot better on that score. Still, you’ve gotta take what you can get in Tory Britain.

Nope. Not a chance. I have no love for giant corporations, and Reddit has always been particularly shit even by that standard. Say what you want about the evils of Meta / Google / Apple, ETC ETC ETC, but at least they generally try to keep their users happy, or at least using their platforms. Reddit just seem to have absolutely no idea what their users want half the time, Reddit premium anyone? The way they handled, or rather failed to handle, the accessibility issue also leaves a rather bitter taste in my mouth.

Holy shit it all makes sense now! I’ve been seeing posts and comments randomly talking about magazines for ages now with absolutely no idea what any of them are going on about. Didn’t realise it was a Kbin thing. That’s one of the downsides of Federation I suppose, sometimes shit just gets weird.

Eh, the Internet is full of bots, particularly bots that just register and then do nothing. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Works perfectly. :)

This. I’m commenting from rblind.com, and yours is the only comment I’m seeing, pun not intended. I hadn’t really noticed this until now, I just assumed Lemmy wasn’t all that popular yet. I’m guessing I’d see no comments whatsoever if I wasn’t subscribed to communities on feddit.uk.

I didn’t know they’d joined. Do you have a source for this?

That’s an incredibly cool feature. It’s even possible to view threads fairly efficiently via mastodon, but I’m guessing you already know that.
