I thought it might be related to initial clunkiness, but this whole time it hasn't been fixed yet. People are going to be reluctant to come here with that remaining an issue, even compared to things like Lemmy. Apparently this has been an issue for awhile https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/318.
wow, this is much better than what i was doing, which is memorize how many replies each thread had and then combing the thread when it was +1. thanks! i didn't catch these settings when i first checked my profile.
So I noticed today that our sub-Reddit has lost some of the articles (oh uh..."posts", I'm already thinking in terms of the new kbin.social terminology!:-) that we used to rely upon to welcome new players to the community. In particular, the FAQ was linking to an old post that reminded players to create a Transfer ID in case...
oh yea i know, those instant downvotes were so annoying and petty. someone had a bot setup probably. reddit just became too big. might happen anywhere, but i think the decentralization of the fediverse could mitigate that, allowing you to defederate instances and block could be more like a block unlike reddit's faux block.
but, i hope the fediverse like this platform will provide more opportunities for personal conversations.
ah, sad to hear they lost their account. even though i knew there were newer guides than LivingGreen's fishing guide, that was the first one I used when starting out as a new player and maybe a few others of theirs. fond memories.
wow, maybe i should think twice before using google drive as storage for more personal sensitive documents.
Hello! This is a drawing of Feinne and Varuo from April 2022. I'll be posting any art I make here! I'm currently working on a comic for pride month.
I haven't found a way to post multiple images on kbin like this lemmy user did. So for multiple image posts, I'll need to share an external link like mastodon or pixiv. The alternative would be to post each image of a set as a reply, but that feels clunky for many images and would clutter the thread (as well as strain kbin).
thanks for the suggestion! i got an account and tried several tests.
"posts" from pixelfed can upload up to 10 images at a time.
on kbin, making a kbin URL post to a pixelfed "post" will have an image preview
on kbin, making a kbin URL post to a pixelfed "collection" has no image preview
based on that:
for 1 image, i might just make a kbin "photo" post and upload directly to kbin
for 10 images or less, i'd consider making a kbin "URL" post linking to a pixelfed "post"
for > 10 images, I'd probably make a kbin "photo" post (so that there's an image preview), then add a comment with a link to the pixelfed "collection".
I do think squabbles has a nice UI, and it would be easier for people to migrate, but after twitter, reddit, and facebook, I'm a little distrustful at this point of profit driven entities running social media. and once a founder sells off their company to some wall street investors, all bets are off for how the company is run afterwards. unlike some of these federated servers that run on user donations (hence users are actual stakeholders in how the servers are run), corporations have fiduciary obligations to shareholders to make more money, money, money, and users are the product to be monetized.
some people come to kbin and lemmy and are disappointed that it's not reddit. well, maybe it doesn't have to be? maybe not all of the AE reddit sub needs to come over for it to be a viable community? not everyone left twitter for mastodon, but that doesn't mean mastodon is a failed platform. but i think there are still social benefits to decentralized social media. it reminds me of the days when places on the internet were more personable and friendly rather than distant and corporate. personally, I'm fine dealing with the issues of a decentralized system. this way, your social connections aren't bound to the financial future of a company. but that's just my .02 and not everyone's willing to make the same choice.
in regard to Nazis and making a "utopia" and where is the line between right and wrong... if it requires hate, suffering, and genocide to create a utopia, it's not a utopia. it's called a holocaust. also, people these days seem to not understand the difference between "free speech" with "freedom from consequences of hate speech". they're not the same thing. usually people who play the "free speech" card also seem to have trouble applying that standard consistently, censoring voices that don't align with their own, and looking the other way when they break their own rules. the types of places that allow free reign in the name of free speech tend to get overrun by hate speech and far right groups, because their goal is oppression, and oppression always silences weaker and more vulnerable voices.
if you want an example of an opinionated community, you can look at beehaw.org, a lemmy instance where the mods acknowledge that yes, they are biased against hate speech and want to make a welcoming safe space for people. although i did have the same reservations with the lemmy developers that others had, so i do like kbin even though this current server is getting overloaded.
anyway, there's only 5 people on here right now (edit: sorry now its 7! almost on its way to doubling), and pretty much all of the AE subreddit is still on reddit. so i don't think we have to figure out everything all at once. unless some "crossing the rubicon" event happens at reddit. who knows if this place'll just go dead after some time. but, even reddit subs, over time, learned how to moderate and what rules worked for their communities as they grew.
Don't forget your Whisper of Time drops, building up to a free 5-star (okay, so lame excuse to say that we need more posts here:-)
