From what I got Kbin is an instance of Lemmy and Lemmy part of the Fediverse. The Fediverce is made up of a bunch of different types of social platforms.
eg:
Microblogging: Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey
Blogging: Write.as, Read.as
Video hosting: Peertube
Audio hosting: Funkwhale
Image hosting: Pixelfed
Link aggregator: Lemmy
Instances are those platforms being hosted by a user. It's like their own personal reddit. They get to make their own rules and stuff. The cool thing is all the instances can talk to each other. And you can choose to communicate the other instances.
There's more to it but I don't really understand everything.
It sucks. I know it's not the only reason we're in this mess but I think it would give us a big break is we banned Airbnb.
Airbnb hosts with over 100,500 listings in Canada.
Only 17% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada is generated by true home sharing, where the owner is present during the guest’s stay. This means that in 2016/17, entire-home rentals comprised 83% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada.
Approximately 7-in-every-10 units on the Airbnb distribution platform are entire-home rentals, with guests having complete and sole access of the entire unit during their stay.
1 in every 3 units in Canada is rented out for more than 90 days per year and generates 71% of total Airbnb revenues in the past 12-month period.
I'm 25 and I don't have a drivers license. I mean, I've never really felt the need to go and get one. Public transport is usually the fastest option where I live, and it takes a lot less responsibility to use it....
I'm 49 and I've been driving since I was 16. I'm done with cars. I live downtown and bike or subway everywhere I can. My car is 14 years old and I fill up the tank every couple months. it's a way better way to live.
I'm 35, but I had a junior SA approach me looking for tasks (though he is not even on my team) and I had nothing for him. So he asked if I had any advice for a 23 year old and all I could think to tell him was "Floss every day"....
There's like an urge in my body to squeeze it from the bottom that feels efficient and tidy and it messes my mind up when I use a toothpaste that somebody has squeezed right in the middle. I wanna know people's stance on this, so what kinda squeezer are you?
Everyone does it different in my house so once a week I redistribute the paste in the tube so it's all at the top. It's very satisfying to do and I feel like I have all the power when it's all said and done.
I mean don't get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren't going to use your site (or use it less).
It's going to get worse before it gets better. $1600 is my mortgage payments for a 2000sq 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment right downtown. If I was greedy I could rent it out for triple that. That's fucked up. It's not supposed to be like that. I can see how a lot of people are taking advantage and creating a huge wealth gap. Fuck greed.
I spent a couple days for work and I was very please at the vibe. Everyone was very hospitable and kind. Good looking peeps too! ...but as a lefty Montrealer, I didn't bring up politics.

Why do people prefer cars over public transport?
I'm 25 and I don't have a drivers license. I mean, I've never really felt the need to go and get one. Public transport is usually the fastest option where I live, and it takes a lot less responsibility to use it....
What advice would you give to a 23 year old?
I'm 35, but I had a junior SA approach me looking for tasks (though he is not even on my team) and I had nothing for him. So he asked if I had any advice for a 23 year old and all I could think to tell him was "Floss every day"....

Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going?
I mean don't get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren't going to use your site (or use it less).
Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one?
I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it's new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me....
Would you transfer your consciousness to a robot for immortality?
I wouldn't. Immortality sounds miserable to me.
