My question to you: how do you solve the moderation staffing requirements? Imagine if every post that got downvoted was instead reported.
The solution here assumes that 'report' sends a post to some nether realm where nobody has to deal with it ever again; but all it's doing is passing the buck, and I don't think that's viable unless the moderation team is the same size as the userbase.
If you then mandate a sixty-character comment, then nobody's going to bother reporting anyway, and you end up with a worse problem..
But if we know that it makes things up and gets things wrong, how can we trust any information it gives us? Fact-checking is one thing, but at that point, you might as well skip the LLM and just look the information up yourself.
On the other hand, I've been on my fair share of sites that only need an email address to open an account - they don't ask for anything else, and you're straight in. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, typically, but they do exist. It's weird.
Firefly! I adore the Wild West theme mixed with the sci-fi elements. Feels really unique, and it represents what the spacefaring future probably would look like to the average person. Like everyone else, I'm livid it only got one series, even after all these years.
For me its when someone tells me to bring them something. If i try to find something that i need, i will find it really quickly. If someone is asking me to find something for them in a room, it is like i become blind and even if its in front of me, it is really hard to find it.
I'm still not sure if I have ADHD or not, but it's still a common trait, so I'll say the fact that I keep forgetting everything! Some things, I can remember in meticulous detail, as if it's right in front of me - Calvin and Hobbes strips spring to mind. Other things slide off my brain into the etheral unknown space, and while they're still lodged somewhere in my memory banks, they're painfully out of reach.
I seem to forget a lot of very basic stuff, to the point where it looks like I can't be arsed, and it's as frustrating for me as it probably is for everyone else - if not more so!
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
Conversely, I work in IT Support and I get asked programming questions far too often... even to the point where I'm asked to fix applications despite not being a dev.
Then again, I basically have to deal with anything that's got a plug on the end. I guess code falls into that category in some peoples' heads.
Loom may not exactly be obscure by any standard, but I don't see it being mentioned nearly as much as, say, Day of the Tentacle or Monkey Island. But it was a truly revolutionary way of reimagining the adventure game genre, and in a very early age of point-and-click. No inventory, single mouse click interaction, using spells to...
I'm going to say Hokus Pokus Pink. It's not the greatest adventure game ever made, and its puzzles are fairly simplistic if I recall, being aimed at a younger audience. But it's got a certain weird charm to it. It's compellingly bizarre!
The writing is surprisingly good too, and the Pink Panther and his utter cluelessness about what's going on makes for a fun protagonist.
Love my Trinitron for everything up to Xbox 360 / PS3 era. It's a shame some of the arcade releases (looking at you, Daytona USA) don't support 4:3.
Haven't had opportunity to try the Cub out yet. Alongside the BBC Micro I got it with, it takes up a lot of room and I just haven't had the capacity to fire either one of them up.
The Hotel TV is surprisingly good. I use it for monitoring my retro consoles while streaming, and it does a great job! Would be nice to maybe replace it with a PVM in the future, but I'm in no hurry to do that.
Why does this exist, you may ask? Well, because I was looking around for communities to join, and all of the gaming communities were about games I don't play. 😅...
As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a...
I just created a sub for prog rock - hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. @prog
EDIT: also made a couple more, while I was at it! @speedrun @browncoats
We need to either rework the the upvote/downvote system or to get rid of it completely. It's not fulfilling its task anymore.

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts (www.cnbc.com)
Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.
Gotta get down on Friday
It's the last working day of the week for most of us. What's happening this weekend?
Favourite prog albums?
Might as well open with a simple and straightforward thread: what are some of your favourite prog albums?...
I made you a community logo in the kbin style
hmmm
A few thoughts about the blackout and the future development of the Fediverse.
It started as an answer to a comment, but then I figured it might be worth a post on it's own....
Which is your favourite scifi TV show?
For me, it would be The Expanse, and Dark...
What is the most annoying ADHD trait that you have?
For me its when someone tells me to bring them something. If i try to find something that i need, i will find it really quickly. If someone is asking me to find something for them in a room, it is like i become blind and even if its in front of me, it is really hard to find it.
What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
What's an underrated classic you feel more people should know about? (lemm.ee)

His mum's face says it all
Share your stash here! How many CRTs do you own, and which are your favorites?
To kick things off, here's my current hoard, er, stash:...
Welcome to the new adventure game community!
Why does this exist, you may ask? Well, because I was looking around for communities to join, and all of the gaming communities were about games I don't play. 😅...
People from Reddit or redditors, people from Boston are Bostonians, people from Canada are Canadian. What should the people of this site use for a demonym?
I've seen keebinetters, but that feels like trying to say Massachusettsian instead of Bay Stater....
Dear pre-migration Keebinetters, how can we NOT ruin kbin for you?
As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding.

Hey keebinetters and fediverse, what are your favourite kbin/fediverse magazines (communities)?
Lets make a thread to post our niches that we have found here. Big magazines are ok too....
Biscuits
Simple question, what are your top three biscuits. Mine are;...
