I hope that "Go back to Reddit" doesn't become a recurring jab used against others in the fediverse

Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

@Bloonface@kbin.social One of the reasons why I like Kbin quite a bit. People tend to start identifying with the community and the software, and tend to take criticisms personal. Kbin does not have that history, and thus criticisms are less impactful.

It also explains why Mastodon has a serious pushback against search on masto servers like universeodon, but not against search on every other software such as *key

I think kbinauts just do things differently than the mastodon crowd as well. It's been just a few days and yet we've already gotten 3 userscripts to modify how kbin works, with some of those features added into the main development roadmap. I can't imagine that happening with mastodon.

Could you, by chance, please give some links to those userscripts?

Unfortunately, it seems kbin search is broken ATM (returns a 500) and google seems to only index magazines, not individual threads, so it's a bit hard to search for them
