Mike Macgirvin recounts the depressing history behind Mastodon's rendering of `article` vs `note`
  • @wakest Mastodon may have started down the enshitification route and heading toward being forked.

  • Six months in, journalist-owned tech publication 404 Media is profitable

    @alyaza I helped them out with a paid subscription. Hopefully more people will.

    Is Kbin dying? I wanted to address the deleted thread and provide some insight into the current situation.
  • @ernest After 1.0 is released, please take some time off. And try to delegate. Sending you some funds! Hang in there buddy.

  • @aeternum

    @seasonone Hopefully it fails after killing of shitter first.

  • /kbin project management costs, financing, future plans
  • @ernest Thanks for everything you and the team do. I just sent you a few beers. :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin for others wanting to contribute.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • @uhvayga They definitely federate with the kbin instances which you can find here. https://fedidb.org/software/kbin

  • Can someone help me with a few kbin/lemmy questions? I'm trying to understand the difference between the upvote and "boost". Also the differences between Threads, Microblog, and Magazines.
  • @CurlyMoustache

    @acunasdaddy Yes. Use the add new link under the + sign drop down menu to create a thread. Be sure to add hashtags to your microblog post so people can find it. Have fun.

  • @acunasdaddy

    In kbin, magazines are based on topics. Users can start threads within a magazine and upvote or downvote in any threads. An upvote is the equivalent of a like or favorite on other platforms. If you boost a thread comment, that is the same as boosting or sharing on another platform.

    kbin also has microblogging which is the same as Mastodon, and you can boost and upvote microblogs as well.

  • @shellsharks Great stuff âne useful. I Will share it on my weekly newsletter and blog.

  • Meta and Mastodon: What’s really on people’s minds?
  • @giallo I like the “to quote myself from earlier‘, so I will as well.

    I want to address the uproar in the Fediverse about preemptively blocking the Meta ActivityPub product. And whether it should be at the instance or individual user level. A variety of reasons for and against this have been given.

    At the moment, I would go with the latter. But no matter the arguments, the reason every single Fediverse user should block it is that Meta is a box of c*nts.

    They have always been a box of c*nts. And they will always be a box of c^nts. Meta should be trusted as far as I can kick Zuck. About six feet. They will immediately or eventually try to enshitify whatever product they launch. At that point, administrators should block them at the instance level.

    Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the Easter Bunny is real.

    Do I need to remind anyone these are the mofos greenlighting the spread of misinformation of all types, science denial, propaganda from the enemies of democracy, conspiracy theories from every lunatic on earth, election stealing, suicide instigation for teenagers, and the mass genocide of Muslims in Myanmar?

  • I just joined here and I'm so incredibly confused, to be honest.
  • @xavieryaa For Lemmy replace the ! with an @. @bisexual Then you should find it.

  • I am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress
  • @brunofin If it will only work with Lemmy, you could honor the original by naming it Lemfinity. If it will also work for kbin, maybe Threadfinity. Good luck.

  • I've started [#kbin](https://kbin.social/tag/kbin) and [#lemmy](https://kbin.social/tag/lemmy) accounts to understand both, then eventually chose one. Leaning towards kbin as of now. Any advice?
  • @pariscope Stick with kbin. It's more versatile because of its microblogging capabilities. And it definitely looks a shit ton better. And will eventually have a stronger developer community supporting it.
