If they vote in a way I don’t like, they’re a bot. If they don’t vote in a way that I like, also a bot. In fact, if they vote at all, probably a bot

Can’t the other instances see what you saw via federation? Or does a self hosted lemmy instance federate all comments from all threads once it knows about a server?

Thanks. I thought nobody was even replying to my comments until I realized that notifications for replies to comments were off by default on kbin, lol.

I really, really hope the open internet takes off again

I’m using kbin and I don’t even really understand what Magazines are. Are they the equivalent of reddit subs / lemmy communities?

I think anyone surprised by Spez’s behavior now have not actually read anything about him before

What a terrible AMA lol. I’m not surprised but it’s still somehow worse than I imagined it would be.

Why would that be a serious problem? The code is open and it can be hosted by anyone. The moderators of a single instance are nearly meaningless to a federated system. That’s the whole point.

To put it another way, what problems do you think the devs being tankies might cause?

I really like kbin.social, but it’s hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new “article” or “link”, but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I’m seeing is not from anything I’ve subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

I agree, the integration of microblogs + threads is brilliant and I hope people keep using it.
