Viva el shitpost!

hello! first year engineering student from chile!

on the spectrum and really love SciFi 🖖

Kbin is way better than Lemmy, Lemmy just happens to be more mainstream and kbin to have server problems.

Unpopular opinion, but karma helped control that kind of stuff, karma minimums and such.

100% want this.

hope nobody got hurt!

It did a time ago btw, because Lemmy.world don’t gatekeep enough.

they will because you can post and engage in those ghost communities, a given user may never realized they defederated from us, but by the lack of beehaw.org users in those communities after the defederation.

thanks for the answers! :)

and what’s the best kbin instance? kbin social?

I see, do you think in the upcoming weeks thing will get better?

and other kbin instances?

I mean, if having trouble seeing Lemmy stuff rn.

is better over there?

would you recommend it?

does it work the other way arround? to use Lemmy from Kbin?

I don’t doubt that Mod Abuse was an endemic problem of reddit, and nothing of the following applies to big subs or communities or instances.

But mods are a nessesary part of healthy communities, Mods not only police the rules of a community but they run it as well, and sometimes they end up being the ones handling sensitive or controversial information.

I dout it commonly happens in huge communities, but when people feel they belong somewhat to a community they start to feel safe to share things they probably wouldn’t elsewhere online (if at all), and the day may arrive that some of this people, may found them selves in a mental health crisis, in the verge of suicide, and, being alone otherwise, will try to use this communities as a last resort, or straightforward post a suicide letter, and in most cases is up to mods to have to deal with that situation, Other things such as doxxing, or even naive people who put them selves in danger or expose too much without realising need to be privately discuss.

Is something mods do many times because there is just nobody else to do it, they are the only ones there, the only ones able to do something even if something few, and if that was already a thing on reddit, here will be much more of a thing.

Alongside things such as controversial decisions, who is to become mod and if somebody deserves a ban or not as well.

At the end of the day, you need people passionate for the community, that will do that work (i can tell from personal experience that moderating is a thankless hobby.) for free and for real, and not to manage tons of things for a wage or another kind of benefit.

TL:DR; Sometimes mods have to deal with sensitive stuff that shouldn’t be at all in the public eyes.

in 50 years: A company called microsoft is releasing a brand new Xbox S game this year.

I cant wait lol, really really would love to be able to put my hands on it.
