it’s because they aren’t talking about users, it’s shareholders. shareholders don’t stand to gain near as much ad revenue from the endless algorithm induced scrolling. executives and shareholders hate chronological feeds, not people

dang same I’m way more engaged here and I spend less time it’s a huge win win and it just feels healthier

I think a more finished kbin in the near future and apps for it installation and maintenance is still an absolute nightmare for it, and it’s lacking support for non amazon s3 out of the box I’m still trying to fix federation but it still eludes me

I wasn’t aware that it worked
I am working on an app myself but it’s going to be about a month
kbin still doesn’t fully have an api so any apps are going to have to wait until it’s development is underway

i use kbin because I don’t like lemmy’s devs 🙃
bonus points that it actually deletes things

vs code is a text editor which can be extended to be an ide with extensions for a specific language

C++ is pretty hard to set up and debug without a specialized ide, so if you want to get into low level programming i wound recommend rust. rust’s documentation is fantastic, the compiler helps you and it protects you from some of the worst bugs that can arise in c++

I’m using porkbun for my instance and it’s been great
my domain renewal was half google domain’s offering price

I don’t know about this app in particular but if it fully implementes kbin’s api it should work

yep! kbin fully supports microblog content and all kbin posts appear as they should on mastodon

I wound up following most of the admin guide for bare metal but it didn’t wind up working so I had to get a ton of help in the matrix room for the project. documentation is really scarce at the moment but I’m trying to make sense of it all and put some better documentation together

kbin is still basically undocumented since it’s so young so there is still a lot of work to be done on that front

hey, I’m @ivy and I’m the admin on fedi196.gay
I would totally be open to you using my instance if you would like. Kbin gives you the option to either upload an image or link to a preexisting image on the internet. depending on how they’re stored on your end, if you already have it on a server you could link to it. if not my instance has 80gb of storage and I’m going to be setting up object storage with storj as soon as it’s possible so I could easily handle a good deal of content. I’ve done my best to make this server as cost effective and reliable as possible so it should be pretty safe on here. if you want to follow up, please get in touch and we can get things sorted out

it’s so nice getting to just be ivy
it’s my name and it’s so gosh darn nice seeing and hearing it used
