@52fighters I guess asking them to scream "Pakistan zindabad" (praising Pakistan) or "Hindustan Murdabad" (Down with India) can put them under stress. Especially if you insist that they shout it before proceeding with whatever they want to talk about. However, if I were in your place, I'd start pitching a sale for some made-up product to them.
I prefer kbin myself, though it is imperfect. Comment box should be at the top of the thread, and our subscriptions we subscribe to should be more easily discoverable, under profile name/settings seems non obvious from what i've seen of questions asked by others.
Kbin. I think it has a more interesting feature set. Plus, the main Lemmy devs are apparently ‘free speech absolutists’ similar to Elon. They refuse to take down reported posts on their main instance, stuff like North Korea not being oppressive, pro-Putin propaganda, etc.
Definitely. It's beautiful. The people are so kind. Food is amazing. So much to see and experience. Great for family vacations. Don't believe the movie hype; the seedy stuff is only in the red light districts of a few cities.
I found it more intuitive to find a magazine (community) with the kbin site. So much so I will.come here to find a @lemmy.world/c as federated and then may go back to lemmy to post
No, it's not the same content. Lemmy was up way before kbin. And lemmy has slowly built a community parallel to reddit. There can be new instances of lemmy, but you can be certain that they brought in all the old guard of other lemmy instances lemmy. kbin? Probably not so much. kbin mostly brought in the old guard of reddit.
It's not the same people posting and commenting the article. The protocol is the same though. I can clearly see the difference anyway.
Don't really know how kbin works. Is it one single instance? Anyhow it definitely is the same content to some degree because we are talking with each other right now.
You can see all of those same users on kbin, too, though. You can access those same communities from here on kbin.social.
It's really only Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.ml that have aggressive Chinese apologists on them. There's a whole pile of Lemmy instances out there that care way, way more about Beehaw than China.
So what? Are your beliefs so fragile that you can’t risk them being challenged?
I debate all the time, but I won't do it under their moderation.
I prefer a community where everyone is free to say what they want without risk of being censored.
Nonono....See what you wrote on lemmyworld:
If you are so fragile that you need to be protected from a troll then maybe the internet is not the right place for you.
It's a different ballpark than what you are presenting here. Here you are all polished, in favor of freedom of speech, but on lemmy you are in defense of trolling. It's "lemmyworld", ladies and gentlemen, it's not lemmy.ml level yet.
I prefer a community where everyone is free to say what they want without risk of being censored.
Do you, actually? If you joined a book club in the real world, for instance, and everyone around you was constantly going on about the Jewish problem and why slavery really wasn't that bad and why women are useless for anything but housework, would that be a place where you want to spend your time? Would you be a coward with fragile beliefs if you decided to go somewhere else? Would it be horrendous censorship if you wanted rules for basic respect and decorum as generally exist in normal society? If someone followed you around all day constantly challenging every thing you ever said, would you really not find that at least mildly annoying?
Just because one might not want it to be illegal to state opinions, that doesn't mean that people can't appreciate at least some common understanding of a space's purpose and rules for discourse. Real wold communities almost never allow unlimited speech, because that can get extremely disruptive very quickly. I don't understand why people think that online spaces must be so radically different.
For me it's laying in bed at 4 PM, knowing everything is tidy, and nothing else needs to be done, and listening to some music from something having a less than stellar speaker - no sound fidelity, just like you would imagine a radio to be.

I'm really impressed with kbin so far. I'm still learning how to navigate it and all, it's missing the polish of something like Mastodon that is further along its development path. But it looks really promising.
Ultimately, I'm kind of hoping to end up on a much smaller instance possibly even self hosted after things settle down and mature further. The fediverse integration is wild and kind of strange to wrap your head around at first. At least it was for me.
To me, kbin feels the most like old reddit. I liked old reddit, but I'm definitely missing some QoL features.
I realized why I like kbin more while I was writing a front end for Lemmy. On Lemmy you have very limited control over filtering and sorting e.g
"Top" granularity is only at the day level whereas in kbin you can do hours. Lemmy only has a single "hotness" filter whereas kbin has the same granularity for hotness as it does top.
Same here. Im primarily a mobile user, so at this point my preferences are based on who has the better mobile UI. Looking forward to see these apps get more stable and steady!
I used sync for reddit a long time, then switched to Boost. I'll likely use Sync once it's developed here unless something blows me away before then. I'll also donate or pay for good apps to support them.
