@Boozilla Smoked trout is the only trout based food I know that doesn’t smell like satan’s unwashed genitals.

@OmegaMouse

@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?

@Moeaverage

https://kbin.social/d/lemdro.id also gives a 404.

Just checked if lemdro.id possibly defederated kbin.social, but that’s not the case. Could be that they have the same bug lemmy.ml had that blocks all requests from kbin instances.

And fedia.io

Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It’s not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren’t counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.

I’m sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It’s called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone’s profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn’t being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.

[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that’s a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]

You guys confused me because I couldn’t see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn’t have the concept of a display name, only usernames.

@Kolanaki

and even emojis (as you can see with mine).

Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don’t have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.

Edit: It appears kbin shows people’s usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.

They won’t be getting familiar with the fediverse though. They’ll be getting familiar with Meta/Threads, as happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

@PlutoniumAcid Use F1 for keybindings of your own choosing. Unlike with NumLock, that actually works regardless of what kind of keyboard it is.

@parowki_z_dzemem

Why ID 85347 in particular?

As a kbin user, I’m really excited about Artemis.

I would claim actual free speech absolutists don’t exist.

Musk is a proponent of near-absolute free speech

Anything goes, so long as it doesn’t hurt his feelings personally

Does he? Is that even possible?

The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you’ll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.

Boneappletea?

Not saying it’s in any way realistic, just that that’s what it would take for me to consider maybe rejoining Reddit.

Jedi council of Elrond? I’m not sure what a subreddit with such a name would be about. Summary?

Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.
