  • I think the decision falls heaviest on our fellow kbin.social users. Since moving will also likely require them to make new accounts elsewhere to ensure federation issues are resolved. From my own observation, the fedio magazine will be the most familiar option and therefore easiest to transition to.

    @TellumSiege I know commenting has been a pain for you but I’d really like you to weigh in on this. AKittyCat may have been our founder, and Geek may be the admin, but you’re the one that really got the ball rolling and I think it’s safe to say none of us would be here without you. Hell, when AKittyCat announced that you and I both were the new mods, I thought I was being pranked.




  • My 2 cents:

    Speaking as a community member, I created an account on lemmy.zip this morning (same name, same avatar) and comments here on kbin.social are taking over 4 hours to appear there and vice-versa. We have a rather significant pay per view event coming up this Sunday, and with federation taking that long, the live discussion will suffer.

    Speaking purely as a moderator, it’s important that we be able to take swift action against spambots, trolls, and harmful content. It’s also important that those actions federate quickly, too. The absolute last thing I want is some jerk posting NSFL/CSAM in a live discussion thread and mod actions removing it taking hours to federate. That’s obviously a worst case scenario, but not an impossible one.










  • I’m just re-pinning this for a day because there’s been a significant update:

    Well folks Austin is home!! We are so excited!! Austin still has a lot of rehabilitation to do. He has speech, physical and occupational therapy throughout the week and continues to work on exercises even when the therapists are not here. He speaks well but sometimes has trouble finding the right word for items. He can walk some with the use of a leg brace and a walker. He wears an arm brace on his right arm as there is still no movement with the arm or hand. He has adapted to using his left hand for eating, writing and scrolling through his phone. He does have feeling on the right side we just now need to get movement. He is able to do some daily activities on his own but still needs our help with a lot. He is in good spirits and is very much motivated. We as a family still need all the physical, emotional and financial support we can get. Bills just keep coming in. Austin now has to pay for his own medical insurance. He has follow up doctor’s appointments in April. This is when he can find out when it might be possible for him return to work which will be difficult since he is still no where close to being able to drive. Austin knows about this GoFundMe account and he can’t believe all the support that has already been given. We as his parents also really appreciate everything and continue to hope that everyone can donate or share this with all of your contacts to make sure that this can reach everyone possible. We still have a ways to go to get him back to 100% or at least as close as possible but we are all determined to get there. Thank you so much! We are hoping that Austin will reach out to some of you personally soon.
