Find a mostly European instance. Problem solved.
Americans are desperately trying to globalize their concerns everywhere.
An alternative to do what exactly? To just follow people? What about you follow no one?
Don't bang your head on the wall with this one. Once we have more federations, the people who don't want to play this endless cat and mouse game will simple adhere to another federation, without any NSFW content, and that will be solved.
It has been requested from day one.
In the end it will be all about federating with the right communities and not about federating everyone anymore.
A lot of people who are defending "federate everyone" do it in the name of "fear of missing" and want the numbers at all cost. They are borderline addict to infinite content, but they are a danger to quality posting. You cannot mass post AND care about the quality of what you post. It takes time to find a good article to post.
Even here we will soon read about what Elon Musk had for breakfast and will post it in "tech". Some people want content, whatever the quality of what they read, even the title is enough for them. And sadly the current vote system works in their favor.
My guess is many of us will leave kbin for a more tight, content focused community. Also better tools will come up anyway.
"Fear of missing out"
We are not the cool guys therefore we don't exist and the party happens without us elsewhere.
Smite: During my third game I've never been insulted like that in any other videogame.
DOTA2 advise new players to turn off communications. How did it come to that?
They are expanding and are going to continue expanding regardless of how their power needs are met.
And this is exactly the problem we should focus on. They should not be allowed to expand like that. Either we are in a situation of emergence or we are not. Just stop them, make the political decision to stop them.
I would much rather we switch 100% to wind, solar, geothermal rather than ditching the internet.
Run the numbers, everything we don't do now to reduce the CO2 emissions will be paid a hundred times more later. Megafires, megadraught, etc.
It's totally useless as long as you don't shut down plants that are running on coal. Otherwise it's just adding up with other sources of CO2.
Google is still closely associated with California to many people (and to a lesser degree New York), but it's determined to change that reputation. The company is launching a $13 billion expansion in 2019 that will give it a total US footprint of 24 states, including "major expansions" in 14 states. The growth includes its first data center in Nevada, a new office in Georgia, and multi-facility expansions in places like Texas and Virginia. This is on top of known projects like its future New York City campus.
This plant is used to power up an expansion of google, which means it's just adding up CO2 to what we already emit. It's creating a fake impression that we are reducing our carbon footprint.
There is a simple solution: shut down the datacenter. No more power needed, no more water needed. The problem is not about CO2, it's about us refusing to let go our previous way of life.
And if you refuse this solution ask yourself why.
Blocklists will become the norm. We cannot manually block everything in /all. It was working for the first few weeks but not anymore.
Take for example the left and the right, both will have their respective blocklists and will publish them extensively. Now publishing your own blocklist will mean that you have a horse in the race.
The wikimedia fundation is full of money, your forest office is not.
I already posted something on the subject
ouch
This thread is closed, but I'm going to make a final reply before I ban you and your associate from our organization for your inflammatory, incorrect, and downright rude comments. Actions have consequences. Any time anyone asks us why we don't support AppImage, I'm going to point them to this thread, and how it was you, personally, who irrevocably burned all bridges with our development team.
And then he harassed the OBS team claiming that "users want appimages"
Let's all use snaps then!
"No, I didn't mean Snaps, I meant Flatpak"
Annnnd we are back at square one. flatpak is just another distro, with the limitations of a distro. You are basically asking for a unique distro to rule them all.
First, most of the people I saw discussing it support flatpak, not packages. They support flatpak like they support a football team. example here: "Mostly because they're uneducated fools".
It's all about reputation. There are people I trust, like Steam and there are perfect strangers from the internet. Who do you trust the most between "debian VS mastakilla51"?
Wake me up when a flatpak app is thought with clear boundaries and doesn't just request access to my whole home directory. Until then I much prefer to have a team of packager maintaining a reputation, dedicated to their job and producing fine, reliable apps.
The Audacity fiasco was a perfect example of that. The apps was bought by someone, then telemetry was introduced into the flatpak and no one saw it. Instead, the distro maintainers noticed it and deactivated the telemetry. This is how we saw the thing.
Be very careful of what you lose when you say goodbye to distro packages, don't take it for granted. If you walk the flatpak way you will have access to a mountain of unverified software built by a random person of the internet having access to your full homedir. It's like installing freewares on Windows, you end up with a lot of crap on your computer. A packages repo is not like freewares for Windows.
Yes, I know, you think flatpaks come with sandboxing. It does not, because most of these packages use /home as the sandbox anyway and people click yes. Pick some flatpaks and see the access level their require. Most of the time it's /home. This is a terrible trend and I wished more of the flatpak supporters mentioned it when they praise the tool. Some people don't care. I do.
Cryptocurrency does nothing to help you since it gives a very strong incentive to criminal to scan your homedir. Scammers will use shiny software, flatpak it, add their "secret sauce" and publish it. If you had to install a cryptowallet, would you install the one from the debian repo of the one from mastakilla51?
Until this whole jungle is sorted out: thanks, but no thanks.

I see that you also downvoted my post about veganism and the cost of breeding cattle in term of water. I see a pattern there.
You listed the same example several times, in quotes
What are you talking about? It's the same article about the rio grande. It's not supposed to be multiple examples.
not sourced links
Paste it in any search engine, it's the first result.
fear mongering on the level of a conspiracy theorist
I see your true colors now.
Your advice of moving to the mountains, taken en masse, would just result in cities existing there...with the same source of water.
Ridiculous, I'm not talking to the masses.
You brought nothing to the table, you saw a post about veganism and then you went full conspiracy theorist mode. Instead of discussing the case you just went for the downvote button. I'm not wasting more time with you.
SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL with a $10+ Million Investment

Do you plan to create your own magazines on kbin or are you already using other Mags on populated instances for this? Like datahoarders and such?
It's tough to restart a community from scratch and I was wondering what was your thought process.
We need to either rework the the upvote/downvote system or to get rid of it completely. It's not fulfilling its task anymore.
The upvote system is way too rudimentary to work efficiently. The upvote incite people to post to become more popular, not to post more interesting content.
One metric is not enough, the upvote system combines both "funny" and "interesting" in the same metric. Soon it's the funny content that is pushed to the top, because it's a more common characteristic. But this is how you get memes, emotional and basic screenshot of tweets to the top of the frontpage. And this is probably what you don't want.
So either we add more type of votes,for example two arrows, like an arrow "interesting" and another arrow "funny" or we get rid of them, leaving only the "report" button.
Get rid of reputation too. Some people are already chain downvoting in rage. What good do you think will happen out of a reputation score? People will just spit on you. People are emotional, don't put a gun in their hands.
"The downvote is useful to get rid of antivaxx"? You have a report button for that. And while the do
How to build a wiki or any kind of database for our subs?
Pinning what is relevant takes too much space. Do we have an alternative?
Those of you hosting a peertube instance, how much money does it cost you?
And did you monetize your infrastructure? If so, how?
Jim is invading the "finer things club", aka kbin.social is only our launchpad for the fediverse. We should think about finding another instance soon.
For the last few weeks we enjoyed a much better content on kbin than we had on reddit for a long time.
But it is coming to an end as more and more people will be leaving reddit for kbin. With them the trolls, the spammers and the ultrapoliticized americans. They want to push their ideology and there are legions of them.
Even though kbin is not american anymore, the sheer numbers and obsession of american people with their politics will quickly outnumber any other content here. The voting system will make your post about pertinent news sink to the bottom of the frontpage. Lost under the "Trump he said/she said" routine. The same thing that happened on reddit will happen on kbin: people will come for the politics and then spread in others magazines for a quick, uninteresting meme reply.
The articles on the web are still designed to infuriate the readers, so they react and create free ragecontent, and they will do it here. They will get infuriated here, just the same as they did on red
What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful
At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.
Reminder that RedHat makes A LOT of money already. The results of the 2019 fiscal year show that RedHat spends twice as much money on ads and sales people than on developers.
Red Hat reports fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019 results
Our subscriptions mostly pay for the salesmen and the ads. They sell ads first, IT second. So I'm not gonna cry for RedHat. The image of the poor developers working in a cave, struggling to make money is only in our mind. They had a perfectly functional model but decided to sabotage some of it to try to squeeze even more money.

About the legality of hosting video/music content on the fediverse and the case of Youtube
The content hosted on Youtube cannot be 100% hosted legally. It is impossible to believe that you can find a full album of Pink Floyd hosted on Youtube and that's a legal thing.
This is an extract from the support page of Google:
Videos removed or blocked due to YouTube's contractual obligations
YouTube enters into agreements with certain music copyright owners to allow use of their sound recordings and musical compositions.
What is the bottom line here? Is Youtube big enough to be allowed to publish full albums of Pink Floyd? Or does Youtube pay a dime to Universal so they are allowed to publish the audio content?
My question is: If Youtube can go away Scot's free with this, why can't the fediverse? If we start to host massive video/audio content, what will happen to the fediverse?
The great thing with the fediverse is that a big company can run its own forum/microblogging instance and therefore communicate with their customers while maintaining full control over their content.
No need for them to chase the next big platform like reddit/facebook/google+, and no need to create "official accounts" on each.
I see that DJI has a sub on reddit for example, but you need to register an account on reddit to post there. With the fediverse, you as a customer need only one account and you could access the instance of multiple companies. DJI could run its own instance, make their rules, federate whoever they want, (will probably allow respectable instances only, like what kbin aspires to be) and that's it, they don't have to adapt to the changing rules of reddit, of twitter, of facebook. They have one point for publishing, with full control over it, with video, firmware downloads, tech support, etc.
It's so much easier for them. A perfect neutral territory, no weird jurisdiction, no worries of being muted by a Trump for example who would impose a boycott like he did on Huawei.
Should we establish a maximum of subs per moderators?
Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it's a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?
