I dunno, seems kinda bourgeois? Leftist mostly clean their own toilets. They also want to eliminate class stratification, even for those that had conservative parents.

It sounds like you're flirting with "dual power strategy". Would be worth looking into that more and seeing what ideas are already out there. Here's a video that I just pulled up on the topic, seems like a decent introduction:

Sure thing. :)

One day maybe we can have both options

From the PR comments:

Maintainers MAY merge incorrect patches from other Contributors with the goals of (a) ending fruitless discussions, (b) capturing toxic patches in the historical record, (c) engaging with the Contributor on improving their patch quality.

I asked around and asked in the C4 specification matrix room.
And the reason is actually simple. If you merge bad code, have a record of proof in git (pull requests aren't forever it's only a github/gitlab thing).

So the idea is if you merge bad code you have proof in the git record that there is a bad actor. You can always revert the commit again or fix it. And the record can act as a proof in case the community want to get rid of bad actors.

Hmm, that seems like not such a good look from Ernest. According to google translate:

I know, honestly it was on purpose. I noticed that forks sync changes immediately with /kbin. I wanted to check how they deal with this much-announced community-based qualitative code review. Answer: they can't cope. Quite an obvious bug was accepted in PR and domerged into the main branch :P It now works properly on the rifle ;)

Hopefully everyone can play nice and work together productively.

It looks like they're still working out what they want their process to be:

https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/34

Seems like your concern is addressed there:

Pull Requests require at least one (1) other maintainer approval before the PR gets merged (built-in peer review process).

The mbin fork happened when kbin development was looking a lot less active. In any case, it's not necessarily bad to have a diversity of approaches. Due to their differing organizational structures, mbin will likely tend to have more features and more rapid development, but also potentially more bugs, while kbin remains more stable.

Ah, fair point. Either way, it doesn't make sense for it to be optional.

Would help if it wasn't paywalled.

That's because of a bug in the hot sorting. It was working fine for a while, and then broke. Upvoting your own post also fixes it. We should probably have our posts self-upvoted by default anyway, like on reddit and lemmy.

Sure thing. Blocking individual communities does still work.

 

I finally got around to making a banner for my magazine so that I could share it here:

 

I wrote a new script script that scans an arbitrary block of text for URLs, and extracts any hostnames that aren't already on the big list or in a new ignore list file. I ran the data from sub.rehab and redditmigration.com through it, and found 6 new instances to add to the list:

Topic/audience focused:

  • seemel.ink - "See Me Link Aggregator" - Tech, mostly keyboards
  • awful.systems - Tech snark?
  • discuss.ntfy.sh - "ntfy (pronounced notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. You can use it to send push notifications to your phone via HTTP PUT/POST."
  • fedi196.gay - LGBTQ-focused kbin instance
  • rimworld.gallery - "Rimworld.gallery is a non profit kbin server dedicated to Rimworld, especially high resolution renders made with the progress renderer mod."

Location/language focused:

  • Portuguese - lemmy.pt - "A public instance of Lemmy dedicated to the entire Portuguese-speaking community."

The ignore list may also be kind of interesting to look at. I tried to categorize non-threadiverse sites by what software they're running, in case said software ends up implementing ActivityPub in a way that's compatible with lemmy and kbin.

This is the only Japanese LN that I've read, I'm otherwise mainly a manga reader. It kept popping up in my recommendations on MyAnimeList, and I was intrigued by the synopsis with the presence of the "romance" tag:

Kazuki Hoshino values his everyday life above all else. He spends the days carefree with his friends at school, until the uneventful bliss suddenly comes to a halt with the transfer of the aloof beauty Aya Otonashi into his class and her cold, dramatic statement to him immediately upon arrival:

"I'm here to break you. This is the 13,118th time I've transferred. After so many occasions, I have to say that this is all starting to grate on me, which is why this time I'm spicing things up with a proper declaration of war."

And with those puzzling words, the ordinary days that Kazuki loved so dearly become a cycle of turmoil and fear—Aya's sudden appearance signals the unraveling of unseen mysteries surrounding Kazuki's seemingly normal friends, including the discovery of mysterious devices known as "boxes."

I eventually got around to reading it when I'd gotten a craving for the "enemies to lovers" trope. It was quite good overall (I rated it a 9), though it does flirt with what I consider to be cheap rage bait at some points.

There's currently a spam "buy adderall" post on /m/fediverse that's been up for 16 hours now. The magazine has no moderators other than Ernest.

I also remember hearing at some point that kbin.social was being run by some other admins so that Ernest could focus on code, but I don't know who they are. Does anyone else know who we should be pinging for issues like this?

One additional question, is there an issue tracker for problems/requests that are specific to kbin.social, rather than the kbin codebase? It doesn't make sense to fill up the issue tracker on codeberg with "this magazine needs moderators" requests and the like, but we do need somewhere to keep track.
