Hello world! A long time ago I used to play a game called EVE Online. There are silly little creatures called Fedo there. So when joining the Fediverse, I made a bit of a pun.

Direct message

There’s definitely something to be said for classic simplicity!

Haha, I mean I’m using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I’d like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!

Yeah, Apple spent a lot of investment getting the thing going, but it is certainly still a modern powerhouse. Even if worldwide iOS has a smaller marketshare than Android, Apple is huge in Japan, the US and UK.

Thank you for explaining a bit about Strims and Wykop! It is interesting background information. It feels like Digg’s technological descendants are merging back together, even as the platforms change over time!

I want /kbin to be simple and modular because I want to give people a choice in how it looks. … I want /kbin to be a window into the fediverse. The person who encounters the fediverse for the first time on /kbin will have the opportunity to explore the entire rich ecosystem, and over time may want to move on to more dedicated solutions, which is cool.

I am glad I signed up for kbin! It’s my first entry into the Fediverse and I thank you for setting up a really nice way to explore the concept. I think your decisions to keep kbin light and easy to maintain has helped keep the website open and running, helping many other people as they take their first steps into the Fediverse too. Joining the Fediverse is a very exciting time!

Yeah, when you joined a reddit community after the 2010s, most of the popular ones would have some posts as a backlog to jump into. Only very rarely would you get a niche sub that hadn’t had anything posted that week. Kbin’s really just getting started and it’ll take a little while for things to fill out, but I have a lot of hope! The cat and dog photos are starting to roll in already, amyfou is posting regularly to /m/dogs! /m/food has photos and a discussion about cake!

Yeah, video ads are the popup ads of our days. Just as intrusive. Money corrupts :(

[edit: on re-reading, the sentence that followed it that said “I think there’s outreach to be done” is clear, even if I think the words could have been ordered better for flow, and connect this more directly and closely to the “unfortunate” comment.]

The charitable interpretation of it is that we need to be intentionally welcome and aware of POC in the community

Yeah, I think as written it implies too much to be interpreted unambiguously. I agree, the charitable interpretation is “we need to do more” but that’s an inference that is drawn from my pre-existing understanding of beehaw’s management and vision, and maybe a sprinkling of trust in their intentions.

Without explicitly stating “unfortunately we failed to reach minority communities,” my feeling is that it leaves a lot of room for accusation of other parties for the “unfortunateness” of the situation or misreading of future intent, and personally I think that just leads to unclear communication.

These guys are even more paranoid than many smaller instances about user names that appear to be randomly generated. Your own user name, as others in this thread suggested, would easily trigger their auto-ban rules. And a human moderator would take one look at the name and think the same thing.

God damnit, it took me until now to actually read their username. It’s the youtube URL for the rickroll video (ending in XcQ). I think you’re right though - it was obviously autogenerated originally and only took on its current meaning via Youtube’s use of the string.
