Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction. We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet...

Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise?

I quite value content from targetted instances, but most of the "general" instances seem to be memes, posts on boosting lemmy, memes, reddit, memes bot posts, memes, reddit, memes, discussion on lemmy mobile applications, memes reddit, memes, and people talking about how the lemmy changed their lives oh and memes....

Kichae,

Now, saying "cars should go away" while sitting in a car makes sense to me, as many of us live in places where public transportation is not reliable nor is not universally accessible.

But this... This is an interesting take to stumble across on social media...

savjee,

Thank you! Finally managed to quit vim!

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

Bipta,

Hatred is not speech you disagree with. It's not speech that hurts your delicate feelings. It's not speech that contradicts your values. It's none of that.

Right. It's speech that tells people they're not worthy of or welcome to exist.

Thanks for playing.

its a far right talking point, do you want extremist on kbin.social?

Edit: Funny, your the guy agreeing with "ps".

"No normal person who obeys the laws of sexual morality calls himself a "cis". It's a slur used by those who hate being called something they don't call themselves (their God-given gender), but have too much cognitive dissonance and too much hatred for normal people to let that stop them. We need to reopen the asylums yesterday" - this you ?

more hatefull stuff from you "We may not all have been Christian back then, but almost all of us were, and everyone supported Judeo-Christian values without question. Homosexuals were regularly taken outside and beaten to a pulp, so it was extremely rare for anyone to think such behavior was acceptable."

If you genuinely can't see that it's hate speech, then you need to be blocked and not debated because you are immune to reasoning.

Let's see how much of this money goes into the major ISPs pockets like last time.

Shiroa,

IMO, only if we make the comments link take you to the top of the post page and not already scrolled half way through the top comment.

I really like the bright gradient on the dark background for the kbin one!

OC Reddit's in-jokes and overall sense of "humor" are lame and I don't want to see them migrate to Kbin.

I like the overall lack of in-jokes I've encountered here so far, and I want things to stay that way. This might be an unrealistic thing to hope for, but I like good, pure, discussion, as boring as that may be for some people.

BeePlusPlus,

I’m not a fan of the pun chains that somehow always ended up at the top of any Reddit comment thread

There could be a post about electricity and one of the top threads will have a joke about Watts, amps, shock, resistance, ohms, and other electric terms. The least they could have done is use Siemens, but it’s always basic wordplay that anyone can think of

And the worst part is that pun threads can be found any post regardless of the gravity of the situation. Titty post? Puns. Mundane news? Puns. A post of an innocent person being wrongly executed by electrocution? Puns.

Everyone thinks they are/wants to be a comedian, and they’d rather post a low quality joke than to add to the discussion or not say anything at all

getting a vasectomy was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

Trump ‘Expungement’ Coming Soon? - Newzasa (newzasa.com)

Everyone knows that both Trump impeachments were partisan witch hunts. As a matter of fact, the level of attack against Trump has remained so consistent for the past 6 years that they’ve now become cliché and are backfiring—even some liberals now sympathize with the 45th President. On Thursday, two members of the GOP filed...

ABoxOfNeurons,

This is a great example of why downvotes are so important.

Take this crap back to truth social or whatever echo chamber they use now.

loopgru,

I appreciate the fact that the distro community is diverse enough to accommodate even people whose personal preferences are this objectively wrong. ;)

A starting guide to kbin.social + support thread for new users

Frequently seeing users expressing confusion about the workings of kbin.social and the larger fediverse. Thought it was worth making an intro guide to iron out some of the wrinkles in the understanding of how all of this works in hopes of diminishing the barrier to entry the idea of federated content seems to pose. Some of this...
