There is nothing at all being copied but an aesthetic.

Although to me it is interesting that, even without literal copying, a generator might be capable of potentially emulating some key features of a specified source. Can this sometimes arguably extend beyond just “an aesthetic”? We’ve all seen examples similar to this one (from the SD online demo, default setting, with a familiar public-domain source) — https://i.imgur.com/PUJs3RL.png

I haven’t yet delved into the kbinStyles offerings.

On my Windows laptop, I’m using the Stylus extension with Firefox or Chrome, to apply quick-and-dirty sloppy CSS like:

  article, article * {
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
  }
  article {
    border-top: 1px dotted gray !important;
  }

Someone on kbinStyles should have something MUCH better. I haven’t yet tried anything from there, but I see titles like: “…replicate old reddit on kbin”. Look into things like that. — https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles

Note: I also select the Compact view (in the view menu which is found via one of the buttons in the magazine header).
