This can probably be modeled off the Digg to Reddit transition. Digg made a couple bad decisions in a row and Reddit exploded. Reddit is making a couple potentially bad decisions in a row, so give it a year or two and the fediverse will come around.
With the rising sea levels due to glacial melt the saltiness of the water is going down, so really this is just doing the fish a solid! /s
Which group of pirates are the most fun to sail with?
Did you just make a universal API?
That looks delicious. Do you have a recipe?
It sets a dangerous precedent. What’s to stop someone from creating a community, then go to every other instance they can find and register on, create a community with the same name, lock it, and direct everyone to the instance they want?
Any community that sees no activity (comments, votes, post, etc) over a reasonable time period (90 days?) should be automatically deleted or all the mods are removed allowing for others to come in and take over the name space.
Oh yeah, the UX on that could definitely use some improvement, but remember Kbin is very young, the dev just went from 0 to plaid in 2 weeks and has been dealing with server size issues the whole time so there hasn’t been a ton of new development except bug fixes. If you can code, consider proposing a fix via a pull request.

It sounds more like you want a cross posting feature. There is no reliable programmatic way to determine both threads are about the new show, and anything that’s not reliable and programmatic is just ripe for abuse.
A cross posting feature would be nice, but for something like “the new episode just dropped” without some serious coordination between the communities, you would still end up with a lot of threads.
Yup, that’s terrible. PSC’s still have a long way to go and we need to find encapsulation technologies to extend their life more, but where they shine is that they should be dirt cheap. If they cost 1/4 of silicon based cells, but only last 1/2 as long, that’s still a massive improvement.
AI is only as good as the model it is trained on, so while there are absolute truths, like most scientific constants, there are also relative truths, like “the earth is round” (technically it’s irregularly shaped ellipsoid, not “round”), but the most dangerous “truth” is the Mandela effect, which would likely enter the AI’s training model due to human error.
So while an AI bot would be powerful, depending on the how tricky it is to create training data, it could end up being very wrong.
Thank you very much!
It does seem to be pretty stable and fast today.
Also, where can I donate to support your efforts of keeping this whole thing going?
