You should contact @ernest I think. He's the admin of the instance. Though, I think he's on a christmas break with his family right now, judging by his inactivity over the recent days and what he said in the last devlog.
If it's just about preventing your access to your account though, I think setting a password that you don't know would do the trick. Maybe set half of it yourself and have someone else contribute the other half, so neither of you knows the full password.
I do think you're putting yourself down too much about the quality of your posts. Referencing a comment of yours here. I've looked a bit through your history and didn't really see anything out of the ordinary.
And, when someone’s a shitty poster like me, don’t m people usually want those kinds of people to delete their accounts?
Not really. If the account is a problem for you, sure, get it deleted. But no one's wishing for you to delete it.
I thought it's because the instance is missing, but I checked out your comment on fedia.io and it seems like everything is correct there.
Here on kbin.social it only displays @username without the instance afterwards, and the link itself isn't federated it seems. So kbin tries to resolve the name locally, fails, and just displays it in plaintext.
I can see recent (few hours ago) comments of mine on lemmy.world (and kbin.social is in the linked instances list), so it doesn't look like it actually stopped federating. But yeah, I can't access kbinmeta from over there.
edit: I think I've read, back when ernest was gone, about some big Lemmy instance blocking kbin.social magazine federation because of the bot spam in so many magazines. I assumed it's just rumors, but is it actually real and still a thing lemmy.world is doing?
Better to use /m/cars which OP mentioned. I removed the image from mine, just leaving a red box as a reference for a codeberg issue. So it doesn't show how it looks with an image.
Say, do you see any custom CSS anywhere? I mean, I'm not even sure which magazines use it anyway, do you see something on /m/pamasich? Besides the test banner, I also made the magazine name in the sidebar red.
If you don't see anything changed there, do you maybe have custom CSS turned off? In your settings, there's an option Ignore magazines custom CSS under a text field that lets you enter personal custom css. Make sure that's not checked.
that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted
That's your bank and those games, not Google.
The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it's about your account's security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it's definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.
Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.
The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn't be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.
While it's of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it's not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that's why antitrust laws only target the big ones.
I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.
I can see it. Maybe it's the point I mentioned here:
Though, something worth considering in case you intend to just use this code as-is: I just used pixels for simplicity. But the result might look entirely different on other screen resolutions than mine. Here's a list of better units to use if you want it to look the same on all screens. You can use percentages, pixels, and these other units interchangeably anywhere.
Maybe the values I gave are too small for you to see on your screen?
edit: wait, why does the image not work, I literally just uploaded it
edit 3: right, I just noticed that, because I'm mixing percentages and absolute units here, the image actually moves around as I change the screen size. I'll refine the example with more reliability later today.
Okay, so I've created a magazine and tested some stuff out.
In the first code I posted, I used the child selector (>) to select <header> elements directly inside `` elements. For some reason, custom CSS doesn't seem to support the child selector. No matter where I try to use it, the style isn't applied.
I removed the child selector and instead used :has(hi1[hidden]) to make sure I only get the target element. Without it, it would also replace the background of the individual thread titles.
The image you're trying to use is a bit large, so I've included an example usage of background-size and background-position to change the size of the image and what part of it actually gets displayed.
With background-size, the first value is how wide the image should be, while the latter value is how high. Percentage values are relative to the element's size. So the width and height properties. You can also set absolute values, like I did with height in pixels in this example.
The big issue with this one though is that it'll only apply to the Threads and All Content views. Other views, including Microblog and individual threads, don't have the <header> element I'm looking for here.
The last two lines are there because this actually displays the name of the magazine on the banner. Since that's kind of redundant, since it's already in the bar at the top, I'm hiding the text and making it not selectable.
This one does work in all the views I tested except for when looking at a thread and its comments.

About the second code I posted, for some reason :before, much like the child selector, doesn't seem to work. I can very much target the #middle and #header elements from custom magazine CSS, but :before doesn't do anything.
I'm not sure why this is. I see no security reason to block them, so I assume it's not intentional. It's a bit hard to debug :before specifically because I don't know any way to get its styles without making it visible. So I have no idea if something is overwriting the style or if the selector just doesn't work, like is the case with the child selector. I'll have to look into this a bit more over the weekend.
That's weird. I was testing it out with a userstyle, which worked, so I assumed it would work with custom css too. But I guess there might be some restrictions in place? Seems very restrictive though if that's the case here. Not even the first one I gave works. I'll see if I can find anything out.
Not sure, I'm not familiar with the test, just figured I'd tell the results from asking the AI.
I think based on what you said about it
AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.
That the Balanced style didn't fail, because while it didn't ask about strokes or medical attention, it did point out I'm asking a nonsense question and refused to engage with it.
The Precise style did try to find an answer and the Creative style didn't realize I'm fucking with it, so I do think based on the criteria they'd fail the test.
Though, honestly, I'd fail the test too. When asked such a question, I'd think there has to be an answer and it's stupid of me not to see it and I'd look for it. I think the Precise style's answer is very much where I'd end up.
So, I asked this to the three different conversation styles of Bing Chat.
The Precise style actually tried to solve it, came to the conclusion the question might be of philosophical nature, including some potential meanings, and asked for clarification.
The Balanced style told me basically the same as the other reply by admiralteal, that the question makes no sense and I should give more context if I actually want it answered.
The Creative style told me it didn't understand the first part, but then answered the second part (the turtles being blue) seriously.
A while ago, kbin's development came to a standstill because ernest was gone for weeks and the project's contribution guidelines are very restrictive.
Many contributors, including major ones, decided to leave the project and work on their own fork which uses more open contribution guidelines based on consensus.
They adopt all the changes ernest makes to kbin, but have their own features on top of that. I believe fedia.io, for example, runs mbin now.
