There definitely needs to be a set protocol to remove mods like this. If the user did something to be removed from a specific mag, that's one thing, but removing them from every mag you're a mod for is an overreach.
I don't think there can possibly be a justifiable reason he was banned from every one of that mod's magazines, and then for the mod to systematically put a downvote on every single one of the user's posts. Clearly they both did it, but still, not moderator worthy behavior.
I hope so too. I just want to see some space faring progress in my lifetime. I missed the boat and am too dumb to contribute, but I can hope greed can bridge the gap where basic human progress fails to meet expansionist ideals. If it has to begin on the backs of investor money, at least it gets the ball rolling.
Thereare several institutes that differ from your opinion on abundance and profitability. There is an estimated millions of tons of helium-3 in the lunar surface at just a few meters down and it's estimated that just 25 tons would suffice to fuel the US power consumption for a year, and 200 ton for global needs.
Regardless of helium-3, establishing the infrastructure will allow for other mining as well. Platinum and other rare earth metals. Whoever does it first is going to make a butt load of money.
i have been working through the stages of grief over my dear, departed friend reddit. many years we spent together. it has been clear though, that the reddit governance committees that now exist in the corporate ether have different priorities than those priorities that governed its creation....
I had a DM once that magically ensured our Warlock got pregnant after using her 'femanine' wiles' to get what she wanted with an npc. Then when the warlock used her warlock 'ways' to terminate the pregnancy we were forced to be haunted by the 'soul' of the damn thing until we all quit playing his campaign... It was fucked.
I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance....
Unfortunately, I think that is a innate function of federation. Mastodon is like that as well, you don't start seeing stuff from remote instances until you/someone on your instance starts interacting with it.
This is exactly what I was thinking too. Actual news has never been the problem; it's the constant flow of trash MeeMaw and PawPaw are sharing as truth that is non-factual and provided by non-news outlets.
Oh man, I've listened to Carl Sagan's Cosmos so many times in my life that I'm afraid it would be a Pavlovian response to him narrating an audio book... 😴😴
Is this by Neil Gaiman as well? I've read a bunch of his Sandman comics, which are wonderful, but I think I would appreciate Morpheus even more in a novel!
Ah! I know what you're talking about now. I dunno, I found it really hard to feel anything toward the spiders because of the way the author presents them in different time periods as the same 'person' even though there has been many generations in between each namesake in the story.
For how cheap NVMe is, it's ridiculous that any console is less than 2TB by default. It's just a way for them to monetize on selling additional storage.
Wouldn't this require a genetic component as well? All life on this planet shares a very large portion of the same DNA, with only minute variances between branches in life categories, even bacteria. Oxygen is a huge component of energy production for sure, but it doesn't spontaneously illicit life.
Seeded with genetic material and given a few million years, you would probably be right - but it would require genetic/DNA 'ruleset' I would think.

They need to chill on releasing new generation consoles for a while (All of them, not just Nintendo). Give the current generation time for the game devs to fully utilize them. This constant upgrade in hardware for consoles is getting rather tired.
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....
I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn't have even known about before Reddit's shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago...
It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.
Is there anything that can be done about troll powermods?
I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them....
