I see it as a just-in-case message, to let you know that you're browsing a non-kbin community and that some federation features may break on either side, even if they are not broken at the moment. There may also be some differences in how posts and comments are sorted between kbin and the original instance, and - I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works - potentially you may see different comments depending on who the two instances federate with.

Thus far he's proven to be a great guy, but in case he lives long enough to become a villain, yes - he owns this instance, and if he's ever taken over by some space parasite, he has the ability to shut down this instance and delete everything uploaded to it; but the beauty of the fediverse is, if you don't trust an admin of this instance, you can join a different one, and still talk to people here; if you don't trust any admin, you can spin up your own instance, and it will still be able to communicate with all the others; and if you don't trust anyone, even yourself... well, fediverse will not solve that problem.

I guess that could also explain why we're only able to move in time in one direction? As in, time being the fourth dimension along which we are being pulled into that black hole of the higher, four-dimensional universe, with three-dimensional "surface" of the event horizon? Would that make any sense?

Yes! I loved Farscape, too, although I was able to only watch one season - but I'm planning to fix it soon. I just recently realized the reason I loved Guardians of the Galaxy so much, is because it reminded me of Farscape - mostly in costume design and team dynamics.

Another, modern show worth a mention, is Travelers, from the same creator as Stargate. Much more serious in tone, grim, even, but still extremely engaging.

Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis - got just the right amounts of science and fiction, drama and comedy, campiness and self-awareness, and is the reason I got interested in physics and programming. Undomesticated equines could not remove me from another rewatch.

Google: Don't be evil. We'll know if you are.

And off-by-one errors.

Yes, all the magazines under a single instance are hosted on a single server, in case of kbin.social on a private machine(s) in Poland owned by the admin/developer of kbin - which is why the site has been so slow today, with the influx of thousands of new users. Other instances, such as fedia.io, are hosted by other people on separate machines, and have their own sets of magazines.
