Yeah it has both views. To be fair, so does Kbin -- the Microblog tab at the top.

Kbin "posts" = Twitter tweets
Kbin "articles/links/photos" = Reddit posts

reddit admin now deleting user comments. I've been through a lot of scandals in my 17ish years on the site and this one takes the cake.

Yoooooo

What up! Here for whatever questions I can answer. You can also DM me. And if I can't answer, we'll learn together!

My two cents, I had a wobbly Lemmy instance setup that couldn't do HTTPS, federation, and stay stable all at once. It was always 1 or 2 of those 3 at best.

Switched my instance to kbin, which took about a half hour of CLI and after that has been a joy. It's just younger and admittedly less feature packed right now.

I saw it, thanks. Definitely considering switching. I'm just struggling with the email server right now.

kbrot, 11 months ago

You'd register again, and I do see you did that. Just struggling with email verification (and github AND even Google verification) right now.

let's see where this goes

Hey, welcome!

• Definitely overloaded. Every instance across the protocol is unfortunately. It's gonna be a rough few days/weeks as servers get spun up. But it's... low-key exciting? Idk to me it feels like the first "new" thing on the internet in well over a decade. I know it's not new new, but it went mostly unused since creation.

• And yes, we're currently contributing to that. We're on the KBin.social instance, not a self-hosted one. I was having a tough time spinning up the Lemmy instance on a secure site and I wanted something for us on the 12th so folks could gather. It's far from ideal.

You reward the community by being apart of it!

For sure, I was not at all what could be called server admin / webmaster / moderator prior to this week. I've learned an insane amount in a few short days and we can learn together!

Yeah it's a messy day. Come on over and test out our new (I know I know another URL?!) server at https://ethfinance.duckdns.org/m/ethfinance/t/2/Daily-General-Discussion-June-10-2023. This one is truly decentralized, owned by us EthFinanciers. Much faster and scalable.

With my only real remaining "event" being the fed rate cut and that being delayed now at least a year, it seems to align with a final bull run for crypto before a secular bear. By that I mean what I've theorized for a while -- that BTC would have a new, lackluster top ~100k and ETH would have a grand blowoff $10k-15k -- could happen in this timeframe.

2019 (wave 1 bull, flat to dippy) -- 2020 (wave 2 boring then parabola begins) -- 2021 (wave 3 parabolic rise and disbelief blowoff top).

2023 (wave 1 bull, flat to dippy) -- 2024 (wave 2 boring then parabola begins) -- 2025 (wave 3 parabolic rise and disbelief blowoff top).

Personally, I've learned to keep the tech and the market separate in my mind as an investor.

crypto will just be getting it's legs and becoming more of an actual utility with real businesses and ways to actually prove to the world that it is worth a damn

Unfortunately, we've been saying this for eight years now (I was around before the EEA press releases) and it just doesn't seem to matter. The tech is always moving forward, but the market reaction to it from an industrial perspective is as cyclical as always.

I think I got shadowbanned on r/ef ;( Someone let u/TeamRedundancyTeam know I didn't forget about them!

edit: nevermind

kbrot, 11 months ago

Hmm, very strange...

kbrot, 11 months ago

Mine did too. Must've be some shadowy MKUltra shit going down at reddit HQ with the blackout/exodus/AMA coming up.

Unfortunately their mobile apps are still under heavy development and I couldn't even find the repo. Luckily the site renders pretty decently on mobile.

It's very much the beta, wild west stage of KBin (and all the fediverse really). A mixture of excitement at a new web frontier and anxiety for sure. This feels like 2004/2005 to me.

edit: i should add -- and i'll talk more about this as the magazine (subreddit) / mag begins to fill out... the whole point of KBin, Lemmy, and the entire fediverse is that it's all connected. think of it less like reddit vs twitter and more like... Gmail vs Yahoo Mail, in that all the content can be read by any program you prefer. so, there are apps available for the Mastodon (federated Twitter) protocol such as Mammoth, Tusker, and tusky. and you can read Lemmy/KBin threads on those apps, just formatted for Mastodon. might not be ideal but it's a start! we're very early to all this so it's new to us all! share any tips you come across too
