[DEV] shell4kbin - v.1.3-16 (kbin.social)
 

For new readers of the magazine, shell4kbin is an Android app that creates a dedicated browser for the kbin.social site.

I am developing the app so as to improve the use of the site based on my experience of using it and also your feedback.

Since the first version of the app, the following have been added: css and js injection, a menu where there are various settings and direct links on various pages of the site.

In the latest version, I have added a new setting to display links in the menu for subreddits so that I can follow some specific subs - which in my experience are not yet replicable in terms of content here - without having to "leave" the site.

I didn't know about it. Can you give me more info?

In that case it would not have changed anything. Instead of seeing the Cloudflare page in your regular browser you would have seen the same page in this app, since this app is only a dedicated browser for kbin.social, nothing more.
This app is like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, but unlike them it only loads by default kbin.social. I think Datas_Cat_Spot's comment explains the only advantage this app has over any other browser for browsing the site.

My need was to open the site in a dedicated browser to keep it separate from the default browser, so I put together some code I had available from other projects to create this app. I have shared it in case it might be useful to others, although for most people using the default browser to view the site is the best choice.

I created this simple Android app so that I could view the kbin.social in a dedicated browser.

It's not a dedicated app like, for example, is RIF for Reddit, it's simply a dedicated browser for kbin.social: once you open the app you will see the kbin.social site as you would see it in any browser.

I created this app for myself, because I wanted to interact with the kbin.social site in a browser other than the default browser on my phone, and I am sharing it in case it might be useful to others.

You can get the code and the apk from github: https://github.com/anemomylos/shell4kbin

“Reddit cannot survive without its moderators. It cannot.” That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

This gives greater value to the comment since it was not influenced by the events of the last few days.

The Aol Chat Room Monitor Revolt (kbin.social)
 

"The Aol Chat Room Monitor Revolt" (https://priceonomics.com/the-aol-chat-room-monitor-revolt/)

I found this article in a comment (from user britinsb) made on an article in "The Verge".

It is interesting how history repeats itself and how Reddit administrators could get into further trouble by forcing moderators to moderate subs in their own way.
