As in bounced off, how? As far as I could tell at least on their mobile site, deleting an account doesn't even seem like an option they offer.
I've jumped on the train to try it out and didn't think too much of it other than having a kind of vanity-looking domain in your user account, but yeah, reading more into them definitely has me trying to get rid of it.
I just deleted my account. On the desktop it was under the account settings and was the last option on the page. I never got any kind of confirmation, but when I reloaded the account page all it gave me was a 404: deleted error.
I have issue for people who don't listen to other peoples opinion and label all people as genocide deniers or CCP shills. Believe me it happens a lot in reddit and I hope kbin can be better in this aspect. I believe Chinese people knows much much better about their own country than many of us growing and learning western-focused history (i don't even think such obvious thing is controversial). I give the benefit of the doubt people who are critical to the government and listen to their opinions. But sometimes it's obvious when people argue in bad faith. I have generally a positive views about China but at the same time I can be critical of many things about it. I think that's a healthy way to engage and discuss.
I think people generally agree with the premise of your first sentence, but this is a discussion of actual tankies and the participants are providing citations to back up the assertions. It is neither projection or dog-whistling. To put things in perspective, your comment is the equivalent encouraging patience and understanding when people are voicing their disapproval of people who are promoting neo nazi propaganda.
Some philosophies do not warrant engagement with an open mind because their core tenants are rooted in bad faith and are anchored in absolutist moral superiority. I agree that the reader should never take such accusations at face value and verify that the citations check out, but again, the accusations are well-founded in this instance.
Ultra-nationalists are bad. It does not matter whether they are Chinese ultra-nationalists, American ultra-nationalists, or others. Do not cede oxygen in the room to them, because they will consume all of it.
You are right and I like the way you put it. I think what I said might not be completely related to the subject but still wanted to point out something I've been thinking for a while. And most importantly cite your sources people if you want to be taken seriously!
Right now I'm finding that Lemmy has more "generalist" communities spread across various instances, whereas the bulk of magazines seem to focus on tech interests at the moment. Nothing wrong with that (I'm here for a reason!), but right now it feels like Lemmy presents more opportunity for discussion on topics other than Reddit or tech or gaming or whatnot. Maybe that's because Lemmy has been around longer--or at least that's my understanding, but I'm new to both platforms so I'm not sure.
On the flip side, kbin has a much more attractive interface, and it feels like there's a lot of potential here. It's still a little janky, as is Lemmy, but the interface probably feels more familiar to the average Reddit migrant.
Keep in mind that once the hug-of-death dissipates, federation will be re-enabled and you can subscribe to Lemmy communities from KBin. You can do that right now if you go to a different Kbin instance. The owner of this instance had to set up a traffic management layer via cloudflare that is causing trouble with federation at the moment.
One thing I have no personal knowledge of, but I have seen complaints online about the developers of Lemmy and the two servers they host, lemmy.ml ...https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
There’s always a subreddit that makes you go, “Um, okay…” lol. Our community was the best on the internet and I’m glad we’re moving to a non-commercial platform!
Haven't even gotten to try lemmy because of the application process...that's probably the most annoying part for me, kbin is a straight and easy sign up
Many Lemmy instances have turned on the application process to limit the number of bot accounts and apply a very minimal amount of preliminary moderation. From everything I've heard, most people have their applications accepted within an hour or sooner on the bigger instances. I know it's a pain right now but I think you'll see fewer instances doing that as time goes on.
So does the microblog feature and mastodon integration on here mean this doubles as a twitter and reddit replacement? Or is it missing features it needs to be a twitter replacement?
Thanks for setting this up! Also just learning of Kbin today after stepping away from reddit. Certainly interested to see how everything pans out! Excited to find some new platforms to check out too 😄
My main is 17 years old. My alt is 8. Going to use one of those tools I read about and nuke them both. Bums me out, but this kbin/Lemmy option seems viable.
Also going to check in with the mods of my favorite niche subs and see about magazine replacements over here.
Replacing a website containing text with a livestream to scale better is hilarious. The tech behind serving a livestream is so, so, much more expensive per user.
But, of course, someone else is eating that cost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
