    I don’t know which anime those are, but it’s not only about advertising the manga,

    Anime are made by a production committee, which consists of various companies that put money into it and expect something in return. The source material’s publisher is just one of them, and they’re the only ones interested in boosting the source material. But even they might be doing it for some other purpose, like the author’s next work or a spinoff.




  • I really don’t see the issue. So more users is bad? I thought our issue is the lack of users currently.

    I’ve seen people complain about ads and data harvesting here. But instances can already do that. Meta joining would change nothing about that. Actually, being a proper legal company, it might be easier to sue them over misusing your data than random instances.

    “Embrace. Extend. Extinguish”? Let’s stop between the last two steps then, not before the first one.

    Kbin would be crippled by the amount of Threads content? I thought federation only happened if one kbin.social user is following a user on Threads? Should be as easily manageable then as Mastodon is currently. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

    To me, big sites federating looks like a clear advantage. I don’t really get the big problem.


  • For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.

    If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you’ve learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.


  • kbin.social’s admin (and kbin currently only supports one admin per instance) is also the main dev.

    As I understand it, the sudden unexpected popularity of kbin caused infrastructure issues and made fixing bugs and limitations more important, while he still has to reach his feature goals to secure funding so he can actually continue working on kbin full-time. Additionally, real life had a lot of negative surprises in store he had to deal with.

    All in all, he hasn’t had much time at all to properly moderate the instance, And the past two weeks he’s been gone entirely for real life reasons, leaving the instance unmoderated.

    It’s not an issue with the software itself, just with kbin.social (and of course other badly moderated instances) specifically.
