  • kbin.social federates with Threads

  • ASCII byte is 7 bits. 8 bits is an octet.

  • 1 floppy = 1.44 MO1 CD = 700 MO1 DVD = 4,7 GO1 HD DVD = 15 GO1 Blu-Ray = 25 GO

  • And the only region for whom the explore tab is working is America as nothing is localized.

    Explore tab is sorted by language, not by region, so it works too for any sufficiently large foreign language country (Spain/Latin America, Portugal/Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Russia, China, South Korea, Japan).

    I wish Mastodon implemented Akkoma-style bubbles of related instances, which would allow to create, like, Explore tab but only from (manually selected) several Australian instances.

  • Vivaldi web browser opening their Mastodon instance brought me to the Fediverse. I started from Mastodon, but became curious of other fedi softwares - /kbin is one of them. I am on kbin.social as my Threadiverse instance in English since April '23, before Reddit API affair.

  • With biased by design I have meant something like Conservapedia, RationalWiki, etc.. They do not try to make neutral point of view, as is (or at least should be) applied on Wikipedia.

  • You could peek at two opposing views on the same article, for example.

    Post-truth as a service.

  • Wikipedia is not a Big Tech nor a commercial enterprise prone to enshittification nor it profits from surveillance capitalism. We don't need another, competing, universal source of enclopedical information. Wikipedia, on contrary to X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. is not going anywhere. Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design.

    However there are many thematical and fan wikis hosted on Fandom, which itself is a commercial company and there were already some contoversies concerning it. Wikis on Fandom are very resource-intensive compared to Wikipedia or independent thematical wikis.

    Ability to edit at several wikis from the same account without being tied to Fandom could be one of things that Ibis offers and could benefit independent wiki sites.

    And of course, MediaWiki is free software and federation could be added as a functionality.

  • As you wish!

  • You are looking at subscriber numbers, and this table counts Monthly Active Users (who posted, commented or voted) of the community.

    (yes, it is a table now :))

  • Its federation. Even to that point, than I can reply to you when not using Lemmy at all. I am writing this from /kbin.

    Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) - Michael Altfield's Tech Blog

  • „Connect with people, on your terms”

  • Asked a few qoto users, you actually are able to add a hashtag view as another column.

  • You probably want to use a regional instance to have more relevant users, groups and events, but there is a global search engine for Mobilizon

    For example, I am using a Polish instance, with an unsuprising domain https://mobilizon.pl

    With an account, you are able to publish events, with header image, title, category, tags, date, place, description (with formatting available), and metadata. The event can be accesible publicly, or only via link.The event (if public) can federate (and be boosted to e.g. Mastodon) and be commented, but you are able to turn off the comments.

    Individual account can only be followed from Friendica, but not from Mastodon.

    For more features you want to create a group. A group can be followed from Friendica and Mastodon, but only Mobilizon accounts can become its members. Group members are able to participate in discussions (not visible from outside), manage a "common resource folder" - links, make group events and group announcements

    You can experiment with Mobilizon features with a demo instance

  • There is already a Meetup alternative - Mobilizon

    Several 500s and 404s did not hold 74 back from posting

  • Linux @kbin.social

    I'm using #MXLinux on #LiveUSB and tried to rollback it to previous remaster. However, I had updated the kernel to newer version before.

    Opened /kbin tab to post a link to video. Ended up installing script for emojis and flipping tables (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
