Ten minutes later I was sorry.
But ten minutes later I was somewhere else.

Why not? Consume without contributing.

Run ad blockers.

Edit: Here's the GOAT—https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
Not well-versed with mobile solutions. Maybe use something like Brave with built-in blockers. Or run reddit through something like Hermit App which also has blockers.

Reading that announcement felt like the beginning of Mortal Engines when the small cities started rapiding from London.

support fixing a niche tech problem

Might have to John Titor it.

Now that federation is starting to work, the experience is a bit funny. Already had experiences with lemmy and beehaw threads just being purged lol

Idk what the culture is over there but it was just a bit funny to see the entire thread I was replying to just removed. Like that doesn't happen here on kbin lmao. a bit of a culture clash there I guess....

Like what an odd thing to remove?

Not sure if this link will work—or if it's relevant to the specific mod action you quoted—but that same mod put up a thread with some context around the purging you were talking about.

Going back to Reddit feels bad

I went back to Reddit this morning. Yeah I know, but I just wanted to check the place out after all the blackouts. As I was scrolling through my typical stuff I was down voting dumb things as is pure habit and it struck me.. after being here only 2 days and not having any down vote button, what was just a pure habit suddenly...

this is a beehaw thread

I was wondering what OP was talking about when they said they had no downvote buttons. I see a down arrow here on Kbin bruh!

Tildes.net and Kbin, bru.

Both set up on Hermit Apps too, which is working well for the most part—surprisingly well. I'm tempted to even try loading old.reddit on it, but it's the principle of the matter that stops me.

/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

Taking care of number 1 should always be a priority.

Number 2, too. Hemorrhoids are no joke.

Kbin is a shortened version of 'karabin' (polish for carbine/rifle

That would explain the magazine nomenclature.
Edit: Ernest clarified here. Karab.in was just a play on words. Kbin is actually referencing Linux terminology.

I wonder if the author will be contacting him for a follow-up.

Spez: How dare you record a private conversation showing my hypocrisy?!

and "Lemmy"

Also, communists or whatever. Not that I care if people have a particular ideology. But, I just want to shoot the shit about shit. Not get dragged into propagating someone's manifesto or political treatise.

With replies like this, I don't need Reddit anymore!

I signed up for squabbles but was turned off before I even started testing it when I saw all the botspam in r/RedditAlternatives.

Maybe this doesn't matter, but if magazines are unique between instances, how will we know if we are patronizing the most active magazine? E.g., Lemmy has, I dunno, @factorio, and Kbin has @factorio, is there an easy way to tell which one is more active?

Further, I saw a diagram floating around that suggested that magazines between different instances of Kbin are also unique. E.g., @factorio @kbin.social is unique from @factorio @fedia.io? Isn't that the same fragmentation as accessing different forums?

Wouldn't mind an ELI5.
