Man if you look at this thread on Kbin and then again via another instance like Fedia, there are number of comments not federating across both instances. Kbin counts 24 comments and Fedia just 19. The missing comments on Fedia seem to be Kbin users. There’s some comments in here that are upwards of 8 hours old that have not made it to both instances. This is really problematic.

Yeah the comments are not federating across fedia/kbin. I’m only seeing your comments on this thread when you’ve posted them on the server I am currently viewing. Even 8 hours after you commented.

Appreciate the communication, hope you get well soon

Are the Mbin instances well federated so you’re still getting about the same mix of content? They all seem pretty small in terms of subscriber count

I’m a big fan of Kbin but the project is a total mess right now and kbin.social is always down or only partially working. And there’s next to no communication about what’s happening.

I don’t wanna do it but it might be time to pull up stakes and figure something else out.

Yeah and none of the switch emulator stuff I’ve seen comes bundled with the firmware. You have to track that down separately or dump your own from your Switch.

This sure looks like like a slapp suit to me.

Completely impractical for most people but this advice gets unironically thrown around all the time. And evangelists still wonder why regular people think the fediverse and particularly Mastodon are convoluted af.

Yeah the tribalism is real boring. I have no bandwidth for it.

Yeah as I have already written the site off, at this point I just kinda wanna see how bad it gets how fast.

Read: that means things are gonna get much worse around here

Agreed. I have tried 3 different servers (two niche topic and now one of the really big ones) and followed a bunch of hashtags and people and also filtered a bunch of keywords (to try to cut back on the mountains of fucking explicit furry art and similar) and for the life of me I just cannot get Mastodon to serve me good stuff consistently. It’s frankly boring as shit over there.

Yet every time I open up Bluesky, it’s tons of stuff that is relevant to me. I’ve also noticed that the few quality artist accounts I did find on Mastodon seem to favor their Bluesky accounts in terms of how frequently they post and engage with others.

I think Mastodon is a lot more appealing if you’re into Linux or dev sorta topics but for like a professional level art community, it’s terrible. Same for topics like graphic design.

Also the fediblock stuff going on throughout Mastodon doesn’t get enough discussion. There’s a cabal of chronically online, ban happy people that collude together on their provate Discord server to defederate Mastodon instances for the stupidest shit. The people who run matsodon.art are a big part of the problem and are legitimately out of their minds. Go look at their instance block list. It’s absurd. And any time you hear about instance drama on there there’s a good 50% chance they’re involved somehow.

One of Mastodon’s biggest issues is all the whiny motherfuckers

Bluesky has a much better community of artists on it. A ton of comics twitter relocated there. And that’s the content I want so I’m on Bluesky. I’ve tried to get Mastodon to serve me content I’m interested in but it just falls short for me.

In the long run it’s about the community. All the philosophical stuff people mega into Mastodon rant on about doesn’t matter to regular people if Mastodon doesn’t have the content they want.

Also Dorsey only owns like 2% of Bluesky now iirc and had mostly cut ties with it in favor of his Nostr thing because he’s butthurt Bluesky is full of liberals.

Yeah and iMessage is used by shitloads of people for all kinds of sensitive stuff. A company like Apple absolutely doesn’t want to be in the headlines when the first salvo of quantum hacks start making the news. This is just them covering their ass.

Lol cheers. Funny enough another person in the thread spelled it “Pantara.” Not as funny though.

Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera’s “War Nerve”

Is that off their album Vulgar Display of Panini?

For me this isn’t a static thing and changes over time. Right now I’d say it’s probably Great Pumpkin Waltz by Vince Guaraldi Trio. Vince is definitely my favorite musician. I listen to his stuff so much.

New updates of iOS usually aren’t the shit sandwich Windows is
