These are all fine in the US, but in other countries not carrying proof of identity can get you into some trouble, as can refusing to talk to the police. Know your local laws.

I like that it's at the bottom. That encourages at least skimming the other comments before you add your own, hopefully cutting down on the number of times people comment the exact same thing.

If you want it to be at the top instead, that's one of the options provided by the Kbin enhancement script.

So far it doesn't look like he's getting away with it. Ad revenue is down 60% compared to last year, it doesn't look like there is enough revenue from subscriptions to make up for that, and they're being evicted from one of their offices.

Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

Does that actually work for you? I'm still seeing posts from magazines on domains that I blocked that way. It looks to me like it only blocks articles, and also link posts to the domain, but not link posts on magazines from the domain.

Yeah, a real priest understands that he is expected to die rather than reveal anything he heard in confession, while this guy was passing everything along to the boss.

They've been trying them in US cities for a while too. One got a bit of media attention after telling someone using its emergency call button to ‘step out of the way’ and then wandering off humming a tune.

There's a risk here of reputational damage when Ernest or other instance admins show up as the owner for some of the less savory communities out there.

So what you're saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.

It's a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

Ah, I see. Maybe one of the offices they're actually using and also not paying the rent on next? A man can dream.

I'm certainly not trying to karma farm. I haven't seen any total "karma" score on kbin, and don't think that there should be.

There's a ‘reputation’ score, but it's fortunately pretty pointless (it's boosts minus downvotes/reduces, upvotes don't count).

Either it was edited in and that edit didn't reach your instance, or Lemmy doesn't like something about how Kbin does images. Either way, here's a direct link to the comic (you'll have seen it before, it's posted a lot).

Ad blocking works well now, though it doesn't do much to block tracking and analytics. I don't use Web much, so I can't testify to whether it feels fast, but version 44 is supposed to have some big performance improvements. When I put it through BrowserBench it did better than Firefox on JetStream (web application performance), but it got badly beaten in MotionMark (animation and rendering performance). It does play YouTube videos now! I'd give it another go if you were interested before.

For a more general solution, that will redirect you from anywhere to anywhere else, check out Redirector. Being more flexible does make it a bit more fiddly, of course.

Way ahead of you. In fact I posted this TWIG in there a day before you did :P

kbin.social is a Kbin instance, not a Lemmy instance, so it's not stopping lemmy.world from being the biggest Lemmy instance.

I'm on Kbin and see this. Kbin.social seems a little bit overloaded at the moment so that's probably why people are having trouble with federation.

Kbin.social doesn't require you to log in to see content, or at least it doesn't when I try. Here's a link to the same comment on lemmy.world (I don't see the comic) and on fedia.io, a different Kbin instrance (also no comic). No idea why it's only showing up on this instance.

A FreeRTOS derivative has gone through the effort of getting certified for safety critical applications, but that derivative is sadly proprietary. Even if FreeRTOS itself can't meet that bar, though, the work wouldn't have to start from scratch.

In a sense. Ernest has control over kbin.social, meaning he could delete any content posted directly to kbin.social, delete accounts on kbin.social, and so on, if he wanted to. The other instance admins have that same power on their own instances. He doesn't have any control over content on other /kbin instances or on Lemmy instances that federate with kbin.social, and because /kbin itself is free software he can't fully control that either. Even if Ernest turns evil you would always be able to make a new account somewhere else, subscribe to the same non-kbin.social communities that you did before, and carry on where you left off.

Even though you can tell that it's not quite finished yet the experience is already great. Hats off.
