Apparently there's some sort of fix in the pipeline related to this, but at the very least, I'd like to be able to type kbin.social/m/kbinmeta and be redirected to kbin.social/m/kbinMeta
Ok so let’s start off by saying that I am not an expert in all things TV. I have no formal ‘critic’ training. But you know what? I know what I like. And I like the Knick....
I understand what you're saying, but in the broader scheme of the internet we should have the ability to dictate what of our data and actions get broadcast and therefore able to be mined by advertisers or other nefarious entities. This is actually a hugely important idea in fighting the corporatization of the internet. We need to stop letting mega corps build profiles on us based on our clicks.
I still don't really understand what your dissatisfied with. You said something about people downvoting too much? Say you see someone who is downvoting in a way you don't like. What is your recourse? Why do you want that information?
I'd say definitely go ahead and make m/gettingstarted or whatever you name it and edit this post. Centralized location for this information would be convenient
Did block. Still annoying. What is the kbin solution for obvious spam bots? If say the instance gets overran you can't block a thousand accounts and still use the medium effectively. There has to be some sort of back end oversight on this
For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful...
Advertiser makes a user account that is a bot for harvesting data. Now it isn't between human users anymore. And more than that I don't think I want people I don't know having access to information I don't want them to have access to.
What about queer person wanting to upvote something but not feeling safe if someone knows their username? What about a woman living in a place with abortion bounties wanting to upvote something about how to get help, but being afraid to?
Just as a general rule for the internet I support anonymity almost outright. But yeah the more tools people have to opt in or out of various things the better. Be it individuals or zines themselves.
Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III's exhibition match ended in complete chaos on Sunday night ... with multiple brawls breaking out after the two fighters got done with each other in the ring.
I'm pretty well versed in the bdsm culture, but I've always wanted to read more literature on the subject. Are there any deep dives or even academic papers to look at? Specific subject matter can be whatever, but I'm mostly curious about articles that delve into WHY some people enjoy BDSM and others don't.
I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...
There will be. For now the mobile version is usable. I just threw a link to it where RiF used to be. But yeah stay at it. The more engaged we are the more need for a polished mobile app there will be. Donate, use the medium, etc. Mobile app can't possibly be too far out.
There's been a proposal for Fedora Linux to become a new Fedora immutable variant and now it's been approved by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) to happen for the Fedora 39 cycle.
Hm, what is a benefit of that? Non power users just not fucking shit up?
Also, I have a monster windows PC I built for work (4k and 6k video editing), but I'm probably going to buy a laptop here in a week or so. Just for writing and streaming video in my bedroom. Any suggestions on a simple distro for that? Just need stability, a notepad-like app, and the ability to use a browser, a VPN, and solid video rendering.
Although I would like to NSFW content in my timeline, I think its better to have them blurred by default and only visible if I click on it. And any such post from NSFW subreddits should also be blurred by default. Saying this because I noticed a post from a NSFW subreddit in the front-page and it was displayed without any...
I'm a big fan of the podcasts Aethuran: Dark Saga and Tale of the Manticore. I also love the OG Diablo video game. I'm looking for tv shows that are similar. The only ones I can think of that fit are Berserk and Castlevania. I enjoy anime, but I'd like some live action stuff also.
I don't know if it's possible to change now, but magazines being case-sensitive seems like a recipe for disaster

I feel like I never hear people talking about this show, but The Knick (TV Series 2014–2015), might be one of the greatest pieces of television ever created. (www.imdb.com)

Popular subreddit alternatives
What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs?...
As for now, upvotes, downvotes and boosts are public on kbin
On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you'll get the info....

Dear not-so-techy KBeans ;)...
Aaand... We have our first spam/bot!
Don't really know what the right way to call it is, but someone/some bot is spamming this post everywhere, even in the comments sections:...
Long and short term, which features would you like to see implemented?

Resources for reading about healthy experimentation in the bedroom?
