Looks pretty cool. I can't wait for me to get invited or for it to go open.

I think I'll delete my facebook account when that happens.

Check it out here.

I don't think it will ever take off, solely based upon the name alone. I haven't even looked at it yet.

Woot. Just got an invite. People are giving them out all over.

No real reason it shouldn't take it off. It does everything facebook does (better) and a shitload more. Not to mention to integration with Android phones, that's a huge userbase already.

Looks like I have invites, if anyone wants one PM me your email. I'm giving them to RL friends as priority though.

People get mad when Facebook changes where they type in their status, and create hundreds of "BRING BACK OLD FACEBOOK" pages. Do you really think the infinite amount of people that use FB are going to change over their infinite amounts of photos etc just for the sake of "new stuff", which they happen to hate anyways? I personally don't think so. People are too ignorant and closed minded for this stuff. I'm sure hipster guys from California will be all over Google+ (crap name), but 16 year old high schooler won't even know it exists.

Its like people who listen to MP3s on foobar2000 instead of iTunes, but don't get me started on that.

Or I'm an idiot and it becomes huge, who knows...

I'm with you on that. I just don't see this taking off. Why change sites when you don't have to? Unless they offer a ton of new features, theres no reason to leave whats already established.

I like how you can separate your friend groups a lot better.

HAHA.

That actually might be a reason to switch over. Also, is the interface any better from what you've all seen?

Yea I like it. You can't post on people's walls (there are no walls) as far as I can see, but since you can customize who sees your posts, the same thing can be achieved from the wall.

Making circles and whatnot is very easy and intuitive.

Invites are open again, btw.

edit. Invites gone again.

Actually, I'm 17, thank you very much. Haha, but I'm also very technically inclined (and have 607 rep on TheHelper!) which basically makes me better than most other high schoolers (no offense to any members :) ).

im a 16 year old high schooler and i know it exists D:
and my 497 rep > 607 FYI (less is more, right? right.....?)

personally i dont use facebook often at all, so i dont think i will make an account on it. then again i plan on not doing a lot of stuff at the beggining but do it in the end anyway so who knows. it seems like its getting pretty big and well known already though, its all over many different websites that i've been to. failbook has some google+ fails already.

i see a lot of hipsters switching over at first and once it becomes big they'd be all like "i was here first why is everyone copying me"

I'm on it, and so far I do not like it too much. Doesn't seem like it really flows very easy, it's fairly cluttered at the moment.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
