No problem, happy to help!

Also, it's not as difficult to get used to as it looks at first. There's quite a bit of concepts to learn, but it's definitely not endless. In a week or so, especially if you keep engaging and asking questions, you'll run out of things to learn about the mechanics of the "fediverse".

kbin by default pulls data from any instance kbin users subscribe to. It's called "federation". Unless he manually blocks an instance completely, which is called "defederating", the communities will show up here on kbin. When a community on an instance outside of kbin gets pulled here, a copy of it is created which syncs with the original on the instance hosting it, and those copies show as created by the site admin, who's @ernest.

So, he didn't enable them manually, nor did he create them. His site kbin, pulls data and creates copies of federated communities automatically, and due to the quirks of how federation works, they appear under his name.

Are you sure you aren't confusing the fact that communities from federated instances outside of kbin showing up as created by @ernest here on kbin, with him creating them?

Organic spideyfluid would be A-OK if he shot it out of his ass! Shooting it out of wrists doesn't make any goddam sense!

Now that I think about it, Apollo - Artemis is pretty obvious. Would Apollo - Starbuck work or would it be too copyright troubley?

I love malicious compliance.

Names starting with a capital k feel like they are native KDE apps to me.

I vote Artemis

As I said in reply to another comment, my issue with the CMV formula is the enormous megaphone it gives to very backwards opinions with the added bonus of wrapping a veneer of honest discussion around it.

It does encourage the appearance of changing views through its rules, but in practice, the longer a thread with a bigoted (or otherwise unpopular) OP kept up the appearance of an honest discussion without giving deltas and closing the discussion, the more primetime exposure it got.

Of course, this is my personal opinion, and I concede that the mods would sooner or later lock the thread anyway, but I always felt that it did more harm than good.

I checked the first five pages of threads on this mag before posting. If there was a thread there, I wouldn't post it.

Also if we're being like that, your answer doesn't fit the thread. I'm asking about communities. Since when are reposts communities?

If this was reddit, you'd be smothered in replies asking why you haven't left your husband yet.

I love how "toast" includes sushi as an example but sushi doesn't
