Corporations don't just sit out on new technologies, and no matter how hard you try you can't force them to. Defederating from Meta's new project preemptively is naive, and will not do much of anything....
Hi. I'm new here. I don't understand what does federation mean? what happens when I turn federation on/off
There’s a certain copypasta that gets posted in men’s issues spaces online. I think it might have originally been said by Karen Staughan. You may know the one I’m talking about. If you have it handy, please post it in the comments. I want to go ahead and reiterate it because it’s a very important point about online...
I want to share this anecdote to let guys who have faced abuse know that they are not alone, and those who haven’t to be careful online....
I think most of us who moved here from Reddit are enjoying our time here on kbin.social. We've left a lot of the riff-raff behind us and made new friends with intelligent, thoughtful members of kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.....
Hi,...
Hello!...
I save and backup all the photos on a Synology NAS instead of using one of the online providers. However Synology Photos doesn't have good search capabilities. So I built a project to search through the images using natural language captions, and found that it works really well....
Shout-out to my sisters and brothers-in-arms!...
Lemmy have fixed this problem in the latest developer build, might be in stable by now. They replaced the buttons with toggles which screen readers can recognise. Kbin’s accessibility is top notch aside from this one problem, so chears for that. :)
I'm very new to woodworking and I'm focusing on learning how to use hand tools. I'm slowly acquiring more tools and setting up my workshop, but I just know that there will be something super useful that I haven't thought about, and won't realise that I need it until I actually need it....
Looking to see if I am welcom on kbin to express the viewpoint that it is not possible to be "trans."...
The Fediverse must be very careful to avoid getting branded as the "alternative to X". In my experience, platforms that have historically branded themselves as "alternative to" or "anti-" have generally not done well. Learned this from the last Reddit exodus: let's make this one different!...
hey! I went on reddit to invite people over here on a subreddit.....
The title. How often do you turn off federation and only scroll through kbin threads and magazines?
Punch it!
I'm a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?...
I just stepped down as moderator from all five of the subreddits I used to moderate over on Reddit. I just can't ethically justify continued activity on Reddit, and especially free volunteer labour for an openly greedy company that is engaged in scummy behaviour, forcing mods to open protesting communities or be demoted....
r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them...
We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it....
I am trying to subscribe to a channel on a PeerTube instance from kbin. Considering they are both ActivityPub, it would make sense that kbin could integrate with a PeerTube instance. But when I try to "Subscribe With A Remote Account" using my @ given in the profile section, I receive the error "Cannot fetch information of this...
My kitchen stove hood fan needs a new carbon filter as the current one lookes pretty caked with grease from the previous owners of the place. It turns out the manufacturers filters cost €150 which I find a bit excessive. Filters seem to be the printer ink of the kitchen....
Jotting some quick notes I've observed so far from running /m/scifi for a couple of weeks and getting to 3K subscribers:...
For those that don't know, rabb.it was a site where you basically had a chatroom and a virtual pc that was shared to everyone in the room. It was used to get together and watch youtube/plex/netflix/whatever together, and everyone was able to control the browser on the virtual PC. I don't even think you needed to have an account...
I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down....
