I like so many things about kbin, but definitely don’t need another unmoderated spammy site to visit. I check back every few weeks, and nothing seems to improve.

Given the apparent inability to implement blocking, I’m not terribly hopeful.

This is from a month ago…

Yeah, it’s very sad.

The core of the issue is that it’s too easy for us privileged folks to suggest things like - and I’m not trying to pick on you at all here - that vulnerable people stay in any sort of “self-enforced walled garden” rather than robust moderation tools and the human resources to use them to their full potential.

This is effectively permission to continue their neglectful behavior.

As I understand it, one of the major issues with moving to e.g. Mastodon is that the Fediverse doesn’t implement blocking in a way that you’d expect, at all. It’s effectively impossible to block someone the way we’re used to blocking in places like Twitter, Instagram.

I have also heard a lot of stories from Black folks about anti-Black sentiment on Mastodon.

This has absolutely nothing to do with veganism.

Knowing him, he’ll forget to remove the first redirect

I’m definitely trying to lurk less here compared to when I used to use reddit.

Much appreciated!

Ah thanks for the tip. That’s not the same as what I was wanting, but it’s closer!

Absolutely. I really wish kbin had a local feed for magazines. I don’t like how it’s either “subscribed” or “all”, which includes every federated instance.

A possibly nice UX could be clients grouping all crossposts from the same author together in a little stack, but showing the local or oldest version “on top”

The author dedicates gobs of prose to illustrate their weak theories while on the other hand mocking the legitimate concerns people have, implying they are childish. And in reality most of the things people are concerned about will absolutely, certainly happen.

We don’t need billions of users here; just a healthy community.

subreddits as businesses

I’ll admit, I didn’t have faith that he could, but he actually came up with a worse idea
