I think a lot of the "conflict" was based on people expecting the threadiverse to be user owned Reddit, without understanding how the Fediverse operates. As people start understanding the nature of how this place works, one would expect them to also calm down a bit about different communities having different moderation strategies.
Then again, it's the internet. Some people are not exactly keen to understand.
A few will still slip through, but fewer, presumably. Which is the whole point. Content moderation does have an impact on content and in turn the user experience.
Same. Which is to say I have it installed and boot it along with GNOME Web every time I need to check that my shitty web programming work outside of Gecko. Which is thankfully rare.
Vivaldi is nice though.
Then again, anyone going to Oslo in winter should stop by the floating saunas (preferably Oslo Badstueforening)! I don't see much point in travelling around in a sauna boat, but the floating saunas are among my favourite things about Oslo. :)
And a lot younger - the project is less ready for prime time than Lemmy is. I think the last thing kbin.social needs right now is more users.
As a software Kbin is also more fragmented - most kbin users outside of kbin.social are running mbin.
Well, it's based on experiences travelling through Germany proper - for example Denmark to France or Italy, including transfers. Often the delay will just be a couple of hours, but then you miss your transfer and you're screwed.
Also if you're on your way to Switzerland the Swiss have no patience for disruptions in their services, so if a train is delayed coming from Germany they're likely to just not accept it into the country at all.
I have also heard from people who were told to spend the night in the train, which DB just parked in the outskirts of the city for the night. That way they could offer passengers a place to sleep in the cheapest possible ways. Pregnant women or families with young children were asked to check in to hotels.
I have no doubt their bureaucrats perform world-class efficiency in their handing out, filling in, faxing and archiving a sophisticated system of paper forms.
I guess it's the trap of getting complacent and stopping modernizing as soon as you've convinced yourself you have the best system in the world.
Oh, everyone who ever travels by train in Europe will tell you that the German infrastructure is very much broken. You're lucky if your delay is less than a day travelling through Germany.
It's also not a huge mystery that what is essentially a one-man hobby project will slow down development in some periods, and speed up in others. I'm sticking with Kbin.social because I'm happy with the experience here despite some rough edges, but of course there are other platforms better suited for people who are unhappy about being beta testers of slowly developing software.
(For anyone interested, Fedia.io is the largest mbin instance!)
Didn't know the backstory, thanks for sharing!
I'm relieved to hear he didn't walk around in a red fedora.
Oops, yes - there's a bug in Kbin where links to local communities don't work properly. I kind of assumed it would appear correctly when viewed from other instances, turns out that's not the case. :)
What absolute hogwash.
