Hi Ernest, any thoughts on whether kbin will be federating with threads or not?

[–] ernest@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hey, a month ago I would have simply pressde the button and not thought too much about it. Now the situation looks completely different. I have bookmarked all the discussions I came across, and next week I will read every single post to have a complete picture. I owe you that.

However, we need to think about additional privacy features, as priorities have drastically changed in recent weeks, and I will have to carefully consider that. Now that I have dealt with infrastructure issues, I will focus on the most important matters.

Thoughtful consideration is the most I could have hoped for. Thanks Ernest, keep being awesome :)

While I absolutely appreciate the commitment, you do not owe us that. You don't owe us anything really.

If you want to have a discussion, I suggest maybe you could make a thread where it's discussed officially, rather than you having to go through everything that has been written all over the place. We owe that to you. :)

I'm not bothered by it being federated with kbin, and if I don't like it, I should be able to ban the whole domain on my account on kbin. So I hope he doesn't give in to peer pressure to preemptively defederate with them before I can see what they are about.

Having the freedom to make my own choices like a fucking adult is why I'm here instead of Lemmy.

I understand your point but you also have the freedom to just go join threads yourself without the rest of us having to deal with the nonsense that it will bring here to kbin. I honestly don't see how this could end up a net positive for the verse.

@BaroqueInMind
What’s the deal with Lemmy, why do you say: “why I'm here instead of Lemmy”?

It is an open secret that the Lemmy developers are tankies and support fascism. By using their software, you essentially endorse those views by proxy.

kbin is developed by one Polish guy doing his best.
