On the off chance anybody cares despite it being two days late, here’s the original xeet: Xitter

I feel like your preference makes sense when aligned from the perspective of a conventional forum-like platform. However I’d argue that that’s missing a core part of what kbin is/was – and by extension what Mbin is – which is the microblog integration alongside the forum-like stuff. With that context in mind, boosts (or whatever term you want to use for “retweet”) make sense to integrate imo.

Whether or not you think Mbin should try to integrate the microblog side of things is of course a subjective - I personally think it’s a cool idea to try at least, but with how dominant lemmy has become it can be difficult to reconcile differences and incompatibilities between it and other software like Mbin.

Mbin has a specific and different meaning for the term “post” as used in the OP, so it’s one place where translating from lemmy or other “generic internet forum” jargon doesn’t work. It’s for microblog posts associated with a magazine that are independent of threads in that magazine.

E.g.: https://fedia.io/m/firefox/microblog has “posts” in Mbin terminology – though if I had to guess I think most Mbin users will use the qualified “microblog post” or similar if they actually mean to reference the Mbin meaning of the term.

What’s up with the android beef? I hadn’t heard about that one 😅

Yeah, I’m saying you (as in “a person”, not you-you) could pick a few from these 50 - I’m not saying start reading 50 books and only finish the ones you like lol. I’d guess “experts” might pick a few of the titles different from popular ratings so there’s probably some meaningful differences vs “goodreads top 50 books by Australian authors”, but I’m not an avid reader so idk, maybe you’d have a better idea 😅

I guess for those who don’t read much it can give you an initial filter to use and then you can just pick a few that tickle your fancy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something to look forward to!!

Heart palpitations at breakfast let’s gooooo

You milk jar-ers are wild!

Honest to god, last week I saw someone take out some instant coffee and a small jar of milk from their backpack in order to get their fix without having to spend the few bucks buying it from a cafe or whatever

Hold up, let’s put aside culturally-specific weetbix for a sec (🇦🇺🤝🇳🇿), you mix WATER with your milk but then ADD CREAM???

Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to leave for disruption of the peace

I sure hope you don’t repeat until you’re full

Don’t forget to spike the milk with coffee before adding any cereal

The agency had learned about a semitrailer coming across the Mexican border, and agents tracked the drugs to the farmers market, said DEA Special Agent in Charge Robert Murphy. The drugs were found inside the truck, he said.

“This was contained in a cover load of celery,”

So unfortunately not inside the celery itself, which would of course be significantly more fun :(

Thanks, didn’t realize that that was the same thing!

The actual quote in the article, which the summary didn’t do a great job with:

“I can think of at least three or four that we have actually actively found involved in foreign interference in Australian diaspora communities,” he told the ABC’s Insiders program.

I was wondering what the context for this Chaser article was.
