i hope so, too!

if mod tools worked better, the microblogging sections could become even more interesting in terms of content, and less of a hassle for moderators 🙏

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568

1. microblog posts: rarely, but once in a while
2. microblog replies: don't work atm, but i like it!
3. microblog tab: depending on whether i have to micro-manage or not:

• kbin's mod tools are buggy, e.g. an account banned from a magazine can still spam the microblogging section > mods better look inside the microblog tab ...
• otherwise depending on my mood

1. viewing microblog posts in my home feed: all the time - i like it even more on kbin than on specific microblogging fedi platforms tbh
2. aggregated view is great! i keep boosting loads of microblog posts via kbin ✨

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
thank you for your concise and systematic approach - i am very fond of your suggestions!

atm, kbin ui feels a bit cluttered, indeed > page navigation should be easier > is there any navigation tutorial btw?

oh, the rhymes are quirky, and filled with joy :)

Like many folks on aggregator sites, I'd create magazines / communities / sub-sites if I didn't mean I then had to manage and moderate them afterwards. (There are many things in life that fit this pattern.)

yes, creating a magazine is the easy part, whereas maintaining a magazine is a matter of discipline

i use hajkey and iceshrimp, too > but i am not drawn to mastodon clients because they do not offer many *keys features > for the time being, i stick to the pwa

@Kierunkowy74
i thought that the iceshrimp devs had rewritten their mastodon api compatibility layer, and that iceshrimp works fine with masto clients ... it doesn't?

from the article:

Bougainville is seeking independence from Papua New Guinea, based on the overwhelming result of the referendum on independence held four years ago. Almost all - 97.7 percent - of Bougainville voters chose independence.

Last month, PNG's Minister for Bougainville Affairs Manasseh Makiba told parliament the referendum results were non-binding, and it is only the national parliament that has the authority to determine the fate of the referendum results.
He told parliament it meant the referendum result would not take immediate legal effect until the national parliament approves or ratifies it.

This was a red rag to Massatt.
He said there is nothing in the Peace Agreement or the Constitution that said the referendum is non-binding.

That's correct but it is also the case that the word binding is not used in either document.
As well, discussion on the matter during the writing of the Bougainville Peace Agreement (BPA) nearly 25 years ago led to a compromise that the referendum would go ahead on the condition it was non-binding, even if this is not spelled out.

@Amelia
all the *keys can communicate with lemmy as long as the lemmy post is not a link type post, and firefish users can take advantage of this rather rare event to chat with lemmy and kbin users, too

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
given the sheer size of threads, most fedi platforms still lack well-developed moderation tools > this is a tough nut to crack, thus preemptive defederation is a must when it comes to threads

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
defederate!

@maegul
it's sad to see that, and all of it was foreseeable in april 2023 already ...
