@Litigant-In-Person@kbin.social

Yeah, but it's not that consequential whether you choose a good Lemmy instance or a good Kbin instance.

As a Kbin Stan I prefer this interface, the community is new, without some of the Tankie baggage/ perception of Lemmy.

@losttourist @static

@JoeClu I think the protocol gets a lot right. It's just a shame all the users are alt-right.

@cyclohexane I think this should be merged today with a bit of luck: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/143

@CoderKat It works on torrents, so the more people use it the faster it gets (in theory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebTorrent

@NotTheOnlyGamer @McBinary

@Schluchtschiss

Only 'trusted' users can upload to r/pics. Here's a pic of John Oliver hiding in https://kbin.social/m/johnoliver

@plisken Technically I like all this stuff.

These are not my people though, it's all shitcoin hype in the feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE&t=6s

@ernest can you spare 30Gb for these guys? @TheVillageGuy S3 is working I think?

@fantasy95 The threadiverse. I made an aggregator to suit my tastes https://fledd.it/

@shepherd it could exist alongside, rather than instead of organic mod growth. The owner and other mods may be great at on boarding new mods. The actively recruited ones are supplemented by the lottery mods in this scenario.

Where a singleton owner disappears, or does not recruit any mods in the first place the lottery mods could run the show.

Wikipedia is doing a thing: https://wts2.wt.social ActivityPub is on the roadmap apparently. @swnt

Reminds me of this essay https://nexus.blacksky.network/zine/00000001/confederal-protocols I think Nostr get's much of that right.

@JoeClu

They kind of are merged in some ways. A lemmy user can see & interact with Kbin things, and vice versa

@TheGreenGolem Yeah the Amazon format you can use on Amazon servers, or not other providers like Wasabi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon\_S3 it's a cheap fast way of storing images.

@ernest @TheVillageGuy

@entropicdrift Yeah good luck exporting your siberian wheat through broken supply chains in a conflict zone.

@livus @CanadaPlus

@ghostalmedia

AFAIK CDN's don't do much to help with logged in traffic. Only users who are not logged in. Kbin.social is on Fastly infrastructure, so it's likely to scale comparatively well.

It's probably not desirable for it to get too big, but it should be able to absorb waves of Redditors who will then move on to other instances hopefully.

@AskThinkingTim @WhatThaFudge

I'm curious why this recent trend isn't visible in Google Trends? I watched the November exodus unfold in real time there. This time not a glimmer of activity

BlackRose@slrpnk.net

@Chozo I wonder if this bodes well for Kbin/Lemmy? Arguably their model is more about content than social relationships.

Any of this would presuppose the existence of a modlog/ audit system. You wouldn't grant any delete permissions using this system & changes could always be reverted by those higher up the food chain.

I'm interested to explore the assumption that the correct people to control discourse and have some censorship power are those that seek to control discourse and have censorship power.

@0x yet this is how we make decisions to put people in prison in the UK or US.

@fr0g Yes essentially that. I don't know for sure that we'd end up with worse law enforcement using that method.

@0x

@--@kbin.social this would also be good.

@bourbonmakesitbetter elest.io provide a service like this kbin should be added in a few days

@haubles @vvuksan @renchap @piotrsikora @ernest @Nougat

@qnick it can work over IP but doesn't require it. A common use case is over LoRa links which don't have IP https://reticulum.network/hardware.html

I did a post to bring NDN to the attention of the Reticulum devs https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions/340

@qnick

@JonEFive I do run an instance that's just for me https://fledd.it (configured as a news aggregator) it was easy on elest.io. $10/ month is too much for most people though. I don't think this is the route to mass adoption.

@JonEFive I've been wondering about separating the ID/auth from the app. Someone recently got Keycloak working and that has some possibilities for federation. Not sure if that really helps though. You still have to trust the keycloak admins

WebauthN maybe? Pretty niche right now, but the threadiverse is quite a techy crowd..

@JonEFive

The cost last month for a few hundred users will be 67/month.

I suspect you could spend several thousand this month and still not keep up with demand.

It's a virtuous circle, the faster it is the more people come.

@NotTheOnlyGamer Because I'm too busy right now.

@JonEFive Multi-magazines are certainly desirable and would to some extent mitigate the data loss caused by an individual server going dark.

I guess the larger issue is if your 'home' instance is the one that goes dark, taking your personal account with it. Maybe it's in fact user account portability that's most important to work on. Assuming that multi-magazines happen fairly soon.
