    [Userscript] kbin Feed Curator

    crossposted from m/kbinStyles

    Introducing kbin Feed Curator! An upgraded version of my 'Enough about Reddit already' script, it now allows you to add to your blacklist from kbin itself, instead of having to edit the script.

    A screenshot showing the blacklist modal

    Now also includes settings, thanks to kbin-mod-options! So far the settings are 1) a toggle to completely hide blocked posts instead of displaying a placeholder message and 2) the button to open the blacklist modal.

  • Reminds me of the dreugh from The Elder Scrolls series

  • Queer/Trans Film Archive
  • btdig and knaben are both torrent search engines, and the Internet Archive is another good place to search for hard to find videos. None of them turned up Transexual Menace, but they did find Rurangi.

  • All-in-one docker solution for a seed box?
  • The binhex container has worked well for me on Unraid.

  • Is there any kbin instance that is seriously considering defederating Meta/Threads?
  • Seems like you didn't really understand my point. Meta is very averse to, for example, any NSFW content, or using words that aren't G-rated to talk about other people. I do not think there will be a slow creep of Meta federating with server by server, because I do not think 99% of servers are willing to abide by those restrictions. If you want me to make up numbers, I think Meta will federate with 10 servers, at most, and that's it.
    The other part of the equation, from what I understand, is authorized fetch. If servers implement that, that prevents Threads from accessing their content from a middle-man server if defederated.

    So no, I don't want to federate with them. But I also think that writing off kbin because Ernest hasn't already defederated is a premature, knee-jerk reaction.

  • Is there any kbin instance that is seriously considering defederating Meta/Threads?
  • Yep, and if Threads is enforcing the same TOS as Instagram, there’s no way that Meta is going to open the doors to the fediverse in general. I expect that when Meta does enable federation, it will be with a small number of vetted servers that agree to follow their TOS as well.
    I understand people’s concerns with Threads, and don’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole myself, but a lot of the reaction posts are sensationalized.

  • [Wristwatches] How a $260 plastic watch pissed off the entire watch community
  • I don’t have much to say about watches but THANK YOU for bringing hobby drama to the fediverse!

  • Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta?
  • I thought we defederated with nsfw because of technical issues with nsfw images not being blurred properly, not the rules issue?

  • Be a better ~~lemming~~ Motorhead
  • Counterpoint: a lot of people on Reddit complain about “you’re just downvoting because you disagree with me” when they’re being downvoted for spreading misinformation, being unnecessarily hostile or condescending or holier-than-thou, posting blatant dogwhistles, or sealioning.

    I’d rather see people in general take a step back and stop taking downvotes so personally. You will get downvoted sometimes. It’s not always an ideological attack.

  • YSK: Lemmy directory site lemmyverse.net now lets you browse kbin.social magazines
  • Looks like you can only search for one at a time, and as far as I can tell it’s only indexing kbin.social, not any other kbin instances. Still, it’s a start.

  • Did you know? There are MST3K and RiffTrax Twitch channels

    RiffTrax MST3K

    They're both live 24/7, showing a random rotation of movies (like the Pluto channels) and you can hang out and chat with fellow fans.

    Kbin Remove Reputation: A script that hides user's reputation.
  • Great idea but maybe you could put the checkbox in the settings panel?

  • July 2023 Humble Choice
  • Good thing I didn't get Outer Worlds or Merchant of the Skies in the sale!

  • Is there a way to filter out a specific word from my feed? Like a tampermonkey script or something?
  • I'm working on one. Currently I have Enough about Reddit already which filters out reddit-related words. If you're comfortable editing a script, you could add your own words to the blacklist.

  • No Instagram Threads app in the EU: Irish DPC says Meta's new Twitter rival won't be launched here
  • The new Threads platform is designed to import data from Instagram, including behavioural and advertising information.

    In its US format, the platform tells users that it will collect a wide variety of data from users, including health, financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information.

    In the EU, the Irish regulator has prevented Meta from launching advertising services on Whatsapp that uses data from Facebook or Instagram. The tech giant is allowed to mingle the two data streams in the US, which has weaker privacy laws.

    It is unclear when, or if, Meta will launch Threads in Ireland and the EU. A spokesperson for Meta was unavailable to comment on the matter.

    However, it is understood that the DPC has not actively blocked the service. Instead, the tech giant has not yet prepared the service for a European launch outside the UK, which is not fully governed by GDPR or EU privacy rules.

  • A few questions about how kbin works
    1. If you go to your profile settings, it should be the first option on the page
  • Hey Kbin! How do you choose to interact with the larger fediverse/threadiverse?
  • So far I've been browsing all-hot and all-newest mainly, to find new communities to subscribe to (and some to block). At some point, probably soon considering the growth in the threadiverse, I'll switch my home page to subscribed. I comment wherever I feel like it, but I've only posted on kbin.social so far.

  • I was wondering how do I find community spaces like there were on Reddit?
  • I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.

    The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!

    Unrelated NSFW thumbnail being shown for a link post?

    Are there any sites to search/browse magazines from all kbin instances?

    Theres https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities that I know of for lemmy, anything similar for the kbin side of things?
