There's definitely something to be said for classic simplicity!

Haha, I mean I'm using up 8 gigs of ram with 10 chrome tabs open, 16gb is definitely starting to look a little lightweight than I'd like at the moment. I built my PC in 2020 with 16gb and around the end of 2021 I ended upgrading with two more sticks, just to keep things running smoothly!
It makes sense to fix it, I suppose. It wouldn't really make sense to just downvote it every time it comes up, that wouldn't be fair.
It's kind of funny to me, I was part of the French meme-magazine on the old "orange reading site" and german meirl would get referenced occasionally. Now I get to see that magazine (ich_iel) most of the time I log in, even if I don't fully understand it, and the ones I understand are pretty good.
PS: this really throws a spotlight on how anglocentric /r/all was
I agree, I think it's good to have a discussion, and polite disagreement is quite acceptable. But like you said, encouraging violence and hatred is not acceptable to me.
If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] for it may easily turn out that [the intolerant] are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; [the intolerant] may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to [other crimes] as criminal.
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!
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.
