I’ve seen an argument that defederation would just hurt the fediverse, and that even an exploitative giant like Meta should therefore be welcomed.
I think that’s like arguing that we should get rid of antitrust laws, which we have for good reason.
I’m a fan of static site generators, but unless I’m missing something, this won’t replace the most important part of Bandcamp: a platform for selling music.
just with kbin.social (and of course other badly moderated instances) specifically.
Yes, there’s clearly a moderation problem, but it’s not just kbin.social.
To rephrase the question: why is it that practically all the insufficiently moderated sites are kbin instances?
kbin currently only supports one admin per instance
An overwhelmed admin could partially explain why a lot of spam comes from a particular instance. But it wouldn’t explain why most of the small instances generating spam have chosen kbin instead of lemmy.
Yes, it was. I’ve added a link to my local instance’s copy, for reference.
I’ve also noticed fewer corporate apologists and shills here than on reddit. Let’s hope it lasts.
My understanding is that it got a big surge of users at a time when it wasn’t really intended for the public, and is now having growing pains.
