Dieinahole, to fediverse

Why is kbin so broken?

404's everywhere, "we're working on it" signs everywhere else.

Like sure, not being able to find my response in the pile of thread sounds like Linux problems, but how is this not loading faster and better than reddit?

ono,

My understanding is that it got a big surge of users at a time when it wasn’t really intended for the public, and is now having growing pains.

ono,

I’ve seen an argument that defederation would just hurt the fediverse, and that even an exploitative giant like Meta should therefore be welcomed.

I think that’s like arguing that we should get rid of antitrust laws, which we have for good reason.

ono,

I’m a fan of static site generators, but unless I’m missing something, this won’t replace the most important part of Bandcamp: a platform for selling music.

ono,

Yes, it was. I’ve added a link to my local instance’s copy, for reference.

just with kbin.social (and of course other badly moderated instances) specifically.

Yes, there’s clearly a moderation problem, but it’s not just kbin.social.

To rephrase the question: why is it that practically all the insufficiently moderated sites are kbin instances?

kbin currently only supports one admin per instance

An overwhelmed admin could partially explain why a lot of spam comes from a particular instance. But it wouldn’t explain why most of the small instances generating spam have chosen kbin instead of lemmy.

The South China Sea is a rich fishing ground that is believed to hold vast oil and gas reserves.

I didn’t know that. I guess that’s another reason why China is trying to take the area for itself.

ono,

I’ve also noticed fewer corporate apologists and shills here than on reddit. Let’s hope it lasts.

“We have to be truthful, not neutral,” she urged. “I would make sure that you don’t just give a platform … to those who want to crash down the constitution and democracy.”

The importance of this cannot be overstated. Here’s hoping the press rises to the challenge of responsible journalism.

ono,

The updated vaccine will be the first COVID-19 shot to be distributed in the way most vaccines have in the past, prior to the pandemic, on the commercial market for around $120-$130 per dose, rather than purchased and provided for by the government. That means that pharmacies and doctors’ offices will purchase the vaccines at their own cost and get reimbursed for the shots. Most insurers, including Medicare and private companies, will continue to cover the vaccine, without co-pays, since it is recommended by the CDC.
