Thanks, totally agreed … we learn by doing!
Hi!!! I’m a strategist/entrepreneur/software engineer/activist, focusing on the intersection of justice, equity, and software engineering. I’ve been on the fediverse for a long time and am currently checking out /KBin. @jdp23 is my main account on Mastodon, and I also run @nexusofprivacy
Thanks, totally agreed … we learn by doing!
Thanks for the update, thanks everybody who’s helping … and great decision handing off admin support
I prefer Sean Tilley’s take: John Gruber Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About
@MyOpinion Totally agree, there’s some discussion at the end of the article on the need to improve moderation tools. Specifically for kbin and lemmy, I also talked about this in the Invest in moderation tools section of Don’t tell people “it’s easy”
Yes they do! I clicked on the #mosstadon hashtag and it took me to https://kbin.social/tag/mosstadon just as one would hope!
I know it’s on their list, not sure where it’ll get prioritized. I shared a link to kbinMeta with beehaw.org’s list of needed moderation functionality, which applies to kbin as well, but so far the only comment is “jesus christ, here we go again with all this blocking bullshit”. 🤣

To the contrary: defederation from instances in situations like this is very much in the spirit of the the fediverse. Not attaching NSFW tags to NSFW content is a major moderation fail by lemmynsfw, and restricting content from badly-moderated instances until they get things cleaned up is something that frequently happens.
Several people here are saying that the bulk of it is coming from lemmynsfw. If so then it may well be best to defederate in the short term to buy time for a better solution (like marking everything from there NSFW automatically, either by a lemmy enhancement on their end or a kbin enhancement here)
Most support it, although not all. They’ve been clear ask asking that they were trying to build a well-moderated space so it aligns With why most people are there - saw one person say that their first post had been hit by right-wing trolls from one of those instances, so if that’s happening then defederation makes sense.
thanks for forwarding!
Fediverse servers are written in all kinds of languages. Mastodon is in Ruby (using Rails), Pleroma, Akkoma, and Bonfire in Elixir, GoToSocial is in Go, Misskey and Calckey in typescript (using Node). Whatever works!
Agreed all around … although I’d add that the probability that a critical mass of users will leave is quite low in the short term.
Thanks for doing that! Yeah, some very obvious errors, so it doesn’t look like they’ve paid a lot of attention to it yet.
Impressive work!
yeah really … I’m flashing!!!
Great progress and more on the way! Thanks to you and everybody else for all your hard work on /kbin!
Thanks the thing, when internet folks get riled up we can have a serious impact. Redditors have always been great at this – Restore the Fourth, the SOPA/PIPA protests in 2011 – and Lemmy and kbin can be a great vehicle.
