if there is no consensus, but at least one mod [...]

ooh, so is that an invitation for backstabbing within mod teams now?

I did, it was very little time to invest, and it's pretty cool that it integrates to sonarr & radarr and sync's your configuration from a central place. Also the web UI seems to have more information and stats if you ever need.

Been on torrent for many years, recently started using the *arr stack, it's fantastic. For torrents I source them from a private tracker, difference of quality and speed is night and day.

I never really cared that much for the API. I just didn’t like the company and how its CEO behaved, and I truly enjoy watching fediverse taking off so here I am.

Diablo IV. I'm still somewhere around Act 2, and the game is really well done in its genre.

For when I'm tired of slaying demons, I got Back 4 Blood. Haven't been playing this one since its first release, and this time I really got hooked. Pretty good HDR implementation, and overall it's a worthwhile Left 4 Dead successor. I also got all the DLCs, so plenty of content before I run out.

I wish we had some magazine like "little known games" for games such as this one. There's lots of niche stuff out there, and this one's surely interesting.

aand now it's a thing: @littleknowngames , go for it! :)

Is kbin a community, or a platform for communities to run on? I'm subbed to maybe 20 magazines now, and I can't even tell you which one comes from which server.

I think of magazines as communities, and servers as enablers of the platform they run on. Sure there are purpose-built servers around a topic, but as a data point of 1, I haven't joined kbin to be a part of kbin community, I joined because it seemed to be the most reliable provider for me to reach communities across fediverse.

in many cases it's also clear-cut and uncontroversial whether someone is a fascist or a bigot.

Perhaps different life experiences. In many cases nothing is really clear-cut when it comes to people and their opinions. People who believe "they figured it out" inadvertently become totalitarians.

Eeh let me go against the grain here a bit: Personally I'd rather have my account on somewhere that doesn't police my access. IMO one of the major boons to the Internet that it being decentralized and not particularly easy to police by any one authority. I've lived a big part of my life in an authoritarian country, and censorship gradually builds up. I have no interest in granting this kind of power even governments rarely get to exercise, to some random people.

I firmly believe that the best kind of content moderation is to use the small "X" button right next to the browser tab. I would understand and completely support not wanting to see certain content, communities or users yourself, but unless illegal [1] I don't see any reason why you should be able to prevent others.

[1] even then, question of in what jurisdiction comes to kind

Anyway, I know that nowadays vouching for information freedom doesn't win much favours. Cool thing about ActivityPub is that barring future potential scaling issues, I can run my own instance and enjoy the Internet as it once was.

edit: I have to say that there's a level of irony in asking for bans and central controls on content on a platform that in its very nature decentralized and supposed to be empowering.
