it’s because they aren’t talking about users, it’s shareholders. shareholders don’t stand to gain near as much ad revenue from the endless algorithm induced scrolling. executives and shareholders hate chronological feeds, not people

it’s just because the mod tools aren’t where they need to be yet and beehaw does a lot of work to protect minorities. the mods weren’t really happy with having to defederate and they plan on refederating once the tools are better or we get settled in

dang same I’m way more engaged here and I spend less time it’s a huge win win and it just feels healthier

I was considering reddit gold, but with everything I felt the money was better placed in running my own kbin instance. bonus points that other people can use it too :3

I’m so tired of governments bending over backwards to help billionaires while ignoring average people

I’m so tired of valuing people based on their net worth. these double standards are disappointing and honestly disgusting. I’m disgusted by our current politics and economics

I wasn’t aware that it worked
I am working on an app myself but it’s going to be about a month
kbin still doesn’t fully have an api so any apps are going to have to wait until it’s development is underway

i use kbin because I don’t like lemmy’s devs 🙃
bonus points that it actually deletes things

I don’t know about this app in particular but if it fully implementes kbin’s api it should work

yep! kbin fully supports microblog content and all kbin posts appear as they should on mastodon

I wound up following most of the admin guide for bare metal but it didn’t wind up working so I had to get a ton of help in the matrix room for the project. documentation is really scarce at the moment but I’m trying to make sense of it all and put some better documentation together

kbin is still basically undocumented since it’s so young so there is still a lot of work to be done on that front

hey, I’m @ivy and I’m the admin on fedi196.gay
I would totally be open to you using my instance if you would like. Kbin gives you the option to either upload an image or link to a preexisting image on the internet. depending on how they’re stored on your end, if you already have it on a server you could link to it. if not my instance has 80gb of storage and I’m going to be setting up object storage with storj as soon as it’s possible so I could easily handle a good deal of content. I’ve done my best to make this server as cost effective and reliable as possible so it should be pretty safe on here. if you want to follow up, please get in touch and we can get things sorted out
