Bummer - looks like your post did show on lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I see that you got one up on @gothindustrial. Leads me to think it might be a community ban on @spookymemes for why your toy post didn’t show up there. blahaj.zone was probably just slow.

Saw your post and I got curious, as it’s clear your new threads aren’t appearing on the instances you’re posting to.

Test run shows that posting to lemmy.world is working for my account: https://lemmy.world/post/6641504 .

There’s a couple things that could be happening, but I’m gonna go with my gut and ask do you have any domains blocked? There’s been repeated issues with domain blocking affecting your ability to post (in fact, I had to clear all my domain blocking to properly post to kbin). This is the first thing I’d check.

The next thing would be to see if those instances or communities banned you. This seems unlikely, as it’s affecting you on both lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone. The last thing could be that these communities have defederated or blocked kbin users due to past spam issues (@Technology is still blocked on lemmy.world due to this), but I haven’t seen it implemented in this way before.

But I’d start with the domain blocking - 90% of the time when people have problems posting on kbin, that’s the cause.

If someone continues to harass you after you’ve blocked them, it’s because they’re lonely and want your attention. I’ve found that offering comforting and condescending words while reverse spamming them with Eleanor Rigby seems to end the harassment quickly… especially when they realize that they can’t block you properly either.

You see, according to Cocteau’s plan I’m the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”.

@jcrm Lol - I figured out how to do this accidentally. You may have noticed that Jailbait doesn’t appear in the top bar anymore.

It’s because I posted this to it (sfw and 18+ by a long shot, but you’ll still want eyebleach). Apparently that top bar of communities prioritizes those that have no posts. Take a look - you’ll see every suggested community is empty. Posting to one removes it from the selection algorithm.

Pinging @ernest as it looks like the sorting on that top bar algorithm is achieving the opposite of its intended purpose.

我可能發布了 XI 的視訊聊天記錄…

I avoid this by not watching porn that makes me sad. There’s plenty of consensual, happy, joyful sex-positive porn out there.

While your point is valid about this particular situation (which is horrible and criminal on multiple levels), your overbroad generalization of porn and the implied assumption of guilt in the viewers is what’s led folks to react negatively to your statement.

On a larger level, this kind of statement plays into the puritanical doctrines towards sex that paint it as a negative force, and subsequently leads to the twisting of a positive, creative act into a negative expression of power and rape in those that accept those doctrines.

Porn is not at fault here, nor are its viewers. Those at fault in this crime are the producers and publishers, who were well aware of the abuses happening under their watch, and deceived their viewers into believing they were observing consensual performance acts. I hope that these women get every cent and more, and it would be excellent to see a class action suit from Pornhub’s subscribers arise in tandem to and in support of their complaint.

抱歉 - 這可能是我的錯

If I were a marketing manager interested in maintaining my brand’s image, I’d pay to keep my ads off of TwitX.

TIL Mozilla has a mastodon server. Have an upvote.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Kbin is the Jamaica of the Fediverse, a land of special people where champions grow.

This article stinks of an agenda. The author goes out of their way not to mention the term Fediverse (pluriverse? wtf is that?), and they clearly haven’t done their due diligence on Activity Pub. Either they skimped on the research or this article was heavily edited afterwards to remove any concept of the Fediverse being a viable alternative to centralized platforms. Doesn’t surprise me coming from Business Insider.

That being said, the overall dynamic the article speaks to is valid, as is the discussion it engenders, so have an upvote despite my gripes with the writing.

Kevin McCarthy and the GOP right now

@Teal explained the context quite well.

Regarding the borking comment, Kbin crashed when I tried to post the image, and it didn’t allow me to delete the post, so I added a comment with the image so folks would have some context.

I just found it funny that it was the top post on /r/all when I happened to breeze by the bad place earlier.

Well, borked picture posting on kbin wouldn’t load the picture properly and now it won’t let me delete the thread, so here it is until I can manage to get this post to delete.

It is on Kbin. Lemmy doesn’t have that capacity yet as far as I know. It’s one of the main reasons I recommend the former - Kbin bridges the gap between Mastodon and Lemmy, and includes functionality from both types of instances. Following users increases your feed content here exponentially.

Great username. Worth a follow.

"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Spezymandias, Admin of Kings;
Look on my Reddit, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

They’ve had issues with CSAM and DDOS attacks - they’re probably using Cloudflare to help mitigate that.

Posted this on the other thread - but excellent work! Thank you!
