Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It’s not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

I think kbinners are doing a good job with having a good reputation in the fediverse. But ex-redditors as a whole both on here and Lemmy are the new kids on the block. It’s important to keep that in mind. We arent redditors we’re kbinners now :)
I’m one of those new kids and I’m still struggling to wrap my head around a lot of things. Like I understand the concept of federation, but I can’t figure out how to use the tools (if they exist) for distinguishing between local and federated stuff. What makes federated threads show up here on kbin? Are there any that don’t? I guess I’m just unclear on the execution in practice.
so you can tell where something is coming from by checking the full @/name. you can see this in the sidebar for magazines, or hovering over someone’s name to see for the users. there’s userscripts to show it automatically and I think it’s planned to have an official option to do so.
By default, we can access every other federated instance. However, it might not show up if someone isn’t subscribed to the person or magazine. Threads for magazines should be 100% in sync across instances (though sometimes things are a bit finnicky due to the influx of users).
Content from other instances won’t show up here if:
it’s not part of what the collective kbinauts have subscribed to (if we subscribe to another instance’s magazine, it pulls in that content for everyone here.)
if another instance decides to block or “defederate” with us. as of now I think every instance is federating with kbin.social so this shouldn’t be an issue.
if you mark that you don’t wish to see federated content. this will only show you stuff from kbin.social.
I am very excited by what Kbin is doing and is becoming. That being said ever since they opened up Lemmy and the rest of fediverse I have started to see more and more hate speech to minorities. I had hoped that those kinds of people would have stayed on Reddit but it looks like they ended up on Lemmy and now Kbin users are having to deal with it since opening up it’s gate. I am not saying Kbin should separate from the other fediverse I just think they should make it more obvious where content and post are coming from.
Saw a great post before, not KBiners, KBinauts! :)
I will accept nothing less than kbeans
I gotta say I have never vibed with kbeans. Sounds like something an elementary school teacher rewards their students with
Also like that kbinaut (and kbinner) keep kbin in the name
this has my vote
okay yeah we’re going with kbinauts for sure.
I dunno, i like kbiner so long as it isn’t pronounced binner, more like carbiner. I’d rather be a rifleman, than a bin diver, lol. As for kbinauts, makes us sound spaced-out crazy, as in twirl your index finger in a circular motion around your temple type. I’m on the fence about it.
Not to be confused with kerbonauts from KSP ;)
(there’s a pun to be made here about the planet Kerbin but I can’t think of a good one)
Tbh we are kinda the alien astronauts of the fediverse. Beehaw claimed the bees.
And here I am thinking Beehaw was a play on ‘yeehaw’… yikes
It is. Their mascot is literally a bee cowboy. It’s a play on bee and yeehaw, so beehaw
