Meta post:

Hey, microblog folks! I'm the current owner of this magazine. I recently noticed that there has been a fair amount of spam on the microblog side recently. First off, I want to apologize for that. Second, I want to give a few explanations:

  • I mainly read threads (I know, that isn't a great excuse, but see my link later)
  • I only recently realized that kbin filtered out 18+ posts by default, so any spam posts that marked themselves as NSFW were invisible to me
  • There have been no unresolved user reports of spam for quite a while

So, I'm asking for your help in two ways to keep the magazine spam-free:
(1) Please report spam as you see it. I know it gets tiresome, especially as kbin.social in general has been overrun recently, but I do check those reports regularly, and I will delete any spam that you report.
(2) If there is anyone who wants to be a moderator, please see this previous thread: invitation to moderate . Basically, if you are an active kbin user who shows interest, I will gladly add you as mod.

I will check the microblog more actively from now on to delete spam, but both of the above would be a big help to me in keeping the magazine (both threads and microblog) spam-free.

Overall, this community has been very straightforward to moderate -- no hate speech, flame wars, etc. Thank you all for that, and thanks for keeping this community active and vibrant!

Doing a pinned thread of my reading for 2024. Goal is 40 books, which is for sure low, but I also believe in playing games on "easy" mode. Audiobooks count, sorry.
Feel free to mute this if not your ball of wax.

Book stuff, but in app form.

Book 3/40
The Secret Life of Groceries by Benjamin Lorr (audio, RBTA)
Work, capitalism, food. 4*

My Dad worked in grocery all his adult life, so this had particular appeal. Learned a bunch about trucking scams and pay, berries, Trader Joe (the person), Trader Joe's (the Aldi company), the Whole Foods Bowery seafood counter, and enough about shrimp and slavery for a while. It is almost too much, as any of these could be its own book.
