@ernest any chance you could shed some light on this?

I read in one of the kbin discussion threads recently that PMs are a feature in progress, currently low-priority due to the Reddit migration.
Just realised your hypothesis doesn't work, as many of the posts I see ending up in m/random have 0 comments, thus there is no way they could have been referred to by a comment/reply before they were federated.
I gave up on NatGeo when they started focusing on schlocky pseudoscientific garbage shows. Such a shame
Or maybe there are already instances out there that don't defederate and leave it up to the individual?
It only takes one to defederate. Any large instances that stay neutral will eventually be defederated with by other instances, as per the beehaw example recently. So your best option would indeed be to host your own small instance.
I have to say that there's a level of irony in asking for bans and central controls on content on a platform that in its very nature decentralized and supposed to be empowering.
There isn't any irony. That's the whole point of the decentralization - it empowers everybody to be part of the communities they wish to be in, and not participate in those they disagree with. We have the power to leave any instance where we disagree with the admins and move to a new one.
Is kbin a community, or a platform for communities to run on?
Both, that distinction doesn't work very well for the new fediverse model.
Satire doesn't work as well on fedi when everybody has to check what instance they're on AND what instance you're posting from to figure out if you're serious
solidly 50% of you look the same.
Let me inflate that statistic a little, as somebody without a profile pic who looks exactly like that
Thanks! But why is this the case? Is it a technical limitation of ActivityPub? Or just a rough edge of the kbin code? (No idea if lemmy instances have the same issue)
18/20, wonder which ones I got wrong.
