To anyone that hasn’t seen the mythbusting thread it was pretty damn shocking: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yxqq9S14NxbCQBDfO0lq3xYL8IWrGLSeE47u7X1sUVo/pub

Yeah, video ads are the popup ads of our days. Just as intrusive. Money corrupts :(

Heartily recommend this Computerphile video with some history and background about Ethernet and a bit about where the name came from!

Yeah, Apple spent a lot of investment getting the thing going, but it is certainly still a modern powerhouse. Even if worldwide iOS has a smaller marketshare than Android, Apple is huge in Japan, the US and UK.

Yeah, when you joined a reddit community after the 2010s, most of the popular ones would have some posts as a backlog to jump into. Only very rarely would you get a niche sub that hadn’t had anything posted that week. Kbin’s really just getting started and it’ll take a little while for things to fill out, but I have a lot of hope! The cat and dog photos are starting to roll in already, amyfou is posting regularly to /m/dogs! /m/food has photos and a discussion about cake!

Thank you for explaining a bit about Strims and Wykop! It is interesting background information. It feels like Digg’s technological descendants are merging back together, even as the platforms change over time!

I want /kbin to be simple and modular because I want to give people a choice in how it looks. … I want /kbin to be a window into the fediverse. The person who encounters the fediverse for the first time on /kbin will have the opportunity to explore the entire rich ecosystem, and over time may want to move on to more dedicated solutions, which is cool.

I am glad I signed up for kbin! It’s my first entry into the Fediverse and I thank you for setting up a really nice way to explore the concept. I think your decisions to keep kbin light and easy to maintain has helped keep the website open and running, helping many other people as they take their first steps into the Fediverse too. Joining the Fediverse is a very exciting time!
