He's about 3 years late but hey, better late than never.

FWIW, I've never seen a more orderly, rational, engaged effort to start up a moderation team on a relatively new community completely from scratch. Your time and energy investment hasn't gone unnoticed. Cheers.

No problem. You've got your work cut out for you, good luck!

The few times I've tried posting article links, kbin automatically copied the first X words of the article into the post body. I don't suppose that includes the Nut graf?

HarkMahlberg , 11 months ago to Fediverse in kbin should correct its "+18" label to be "18+"

Right, not every country has the same age restriction.

Hopefully I find more time to contribute to the kbin source code. I think it has promise, I like how it works so far, but like any big project there's plenty of room to improve.

There’s a supportive community of server owners in the Mastodon Discord (access to the Discord is a perk for Patreon donors)

I don't have a comment on this, I just thought the irony was funny.

HarkMahlberg , 11 months ago to Politics in Insight: Swing state Republicans bleed donors and cash over Trump's false election claims

I can't think of a greater price to pay actually. Losing donors and cash is (hopefully) a precursor to losing voters and mindshare. There's no better punishment than being utterly forgotten, relegated to the dustbin of history.

I can dream, right?

There's a solid argument that the number should be 15.

Standup response, I hope Christian finds a promising career ahead of him.

If I'm being honest, I wouldn't be nearly so kind to Reddit following his ordeal. Even if Reddit renegs on the API pricing completely and go back to making it free, the trust has already been sufficiently broken that I wouldn't return. They won't stop monetizing the site just because they lost some users and pissed off their developer partners. They'll just be subtler, quieter the next time they try to screw you over.

Second chances are important, but there are limits to trust. Reddit slapped their users across the face today; despite any promise or apology they make in the meantime, there is no indication that they won't do it again tomorrow to get what they want.
