This update introduces the ability to request the takeover of abandoned magazines. The karab.in instance has been updated to the latest version of the code, which prepares for the kbin.social update after some tests....
Ive spent the last week in shock at the lack of moderation because magazines and federated stuff is only moderated by @ernest who I know is busy with development. But the magazines that are on kbin.social and were setup as "Template" magazines are getting trashed either with spam/porn or toxic comments that were reported long...
WORLD DOMINATION FOR SURE, and 1 million? nahh, a billion dollars, my main goal is to get up there with Elon, Jeff and Mark, and then buy Kbin, erase that X website with Kbin and the fediverse while absolutely destroying Reddit.
A solid plan isn't it? I'm cooking here bro, it's being made. I'll tell you that.
I wish I can leave half of the communities I created here on kbin actually, and on Reddit, the reason I have so many (and you would notice how a lot of communities are related to motorsports, cars, racing in some way or the other) is because I love racing, it's a career I want to pursue soon for sure, thats why so many subreddits I have is related to cars or motorsports in general, and I really wanted to see a lot of them grow on Reddit but not anymore after seeing what Reddit is capable of doing, I don't want to be there anymore (F spez). So my reddit account is somewhat abandoned since then, I do peek at it occasionally, but my focus has shifted here.
Other than that I see modding as a hobby, I really love to do it a lot, and even better with kbin, it's really satisfying to help it in ways I can for it to grow, as I've really come to hate the corporate Reddit of today.
Also @okbuddyretard, I love your profile picture for some reason man, even if I am a straight guy, I didn't expect to see that when clicking this thread.
No worries! I totally get you, I have indeed come across some very disrespectful and power hungry mods on Reddit, I do hope those people don't come here, or atleast change their attitude towards moderation!
Hey! I am the mod here at AskKbin, please redirect to the KbinMeta community for support/help related questions as that is not the intended purpose for AskKbin as clearly mentioned in the community description and rules!
Yeah that's certainly a good one, I am still wary of VR, due to how close it is to your eyes.
I am more hopeful about AR though because you are not locked into a virtual world and that extremely close screen to your eyes, it's basically like see through glasses with computer, hence I am guessing it might be better for your eyes than pure VR?
Cost is going to be an issue for a good while though, and I still don't think they will ever replace or be as big as phones, as some believe it could be, the portability is just unbeatable with smartphones (flip phones making that aspect even better), although maybe AR can compete with computers more?
I'm personally skeptical but a very interesting and futuristic sci-fi tech for sure.
Crypto? Flopped? Damn, there is still a crowd that hardcore loves crypto, I always felt it to be too scammy by nature though.
Segway, I am surprised, why? I have a few friends that have segway and sure it's not as popular as bicycles but it seems like one of those cool new personal transportation, and I thought they are rather a new product, guessing I am wrong here?
OMG I LOVE 3D TV, especially those glasses they gave you in cinemas, gosh...
Metaverse.....Yeah, that's just BS in my opinion, make something even worse than social media and make people get stuck in those virtual worlds, disconnecting them from the real world, I really don't think metaverse is healthy, yes social media isn't either, but that is, just another extreme in my opinion.
The Genome project is very interesting for sure, and wow, I am learning a lot of knowledge from others here on this thread because there are some stuff that I had no idea existed before.
I think regardless of market, the main issue is cost, yes you can push it to businesses, but would they really make a costly purchase? I feel like consumer market would actually offer better long-term opportunity.
The thing we need is a good OS and we need it to be AR and not VR, staying connected with reality, bringing reality and technology together in-front of your eyes.
Apple AR is way too expensive, but I am not surprised about that coming from Apple, I wish they cut some more corners to get the price down, but I am sure there is a more affordable and attainable one coming down the line.
Finding use for it will be the hardest, because as of now, all I see AR doing is trying to do what computers or smartphones do just in a different way, and they haven't been as successful in that as they have to be better if AR is really trying to get success here.
This is true, a lot of people, especially some people from older generations like to talk shit about the internet and modern age (not just social media), and it's effects on us which can be bad but that also depends on the person, with good moderation, internet really is a dream come true isn't it? And we are living it.
Something we shouldn't take for granted for sure in a way.
Just finished pushing Update V2, check original post new edit for changelog, the above is one of the changes that was implemented. Thank you for your feedback again!
