wjrii, in What is Kbin’s identity?

At the most barebones level, I think kbin was meant to be "Lemmy and mastodon with a cohesive UI on one account." So far it has ended up being, "Lemmy but for people who were eeshy about tankies when they were trying to figure all this out to get away from Reddit."

Pioneer 10.

I agree the terminology, etc, is confusing. I do hope it gets revamped a bit.

inkican, in What is Kbin’s identity?

Kbin identifies as 'Not Reddit' and that's good enough for me.

hightrix,

Reddit but not run by donkeys, is how I’ve been explaining it.

FlowVoid, in What is Kbin’s identity?

If set up properly, Mastodon can pull in Lemmy and Kbin posts and comments. What is Mastodon trying to be?

The answer in both cases: it depends on how you set them up.

A sealed hab dome, containing a fish breeding tank that outputs a portion every so often into another tank, and a flock of penguins. There are also penguin shaped space suits mounted next to the air locks

Adama,

Ooh. A small broken octagonal habitat shape with the fossilized remains of dolphin bones and dolphin shaped mechanized suits. As well as some kind of buried damaged “launch pad” that could fit a decent sized ship.

Wait… that would be less confusing and more exciting as a earths history kind of thing.

I'd put an empty spacesuit from the Apollo era.

Anarch157a,

Make it a Soviet space suit from the Apollo era. That would cause every politician in the US to shit bricks.

Why stop at spacesuit? Put lunar landing module and American flag in configuration like they were on the moon. Suggesting that moon landing was indeed a fake, and they did everything on Mars.

RoyRogersMcFreely, in What piece of kit or setup represents the pinnacle of your hobby/profession?

Photography: Peak Design quick detach clips, strap and baseplate.

Photography is just a hobby for me, so I tend to lean towards 3rd party lenses and accessories that have a good price to quality ratio. I can not overstate how substantial a difference these clips and straps have made for me. There is no comfortable way for someone to hang a camera around their neck or over their shoulder for more than a few hours with the OEM straps, let alone a full day. With these things I have backpacked multiple long weekend trips, taking my camera out of my bag in the morning and having it out all day. I can transition from a cross body dangle, to hanging from my backpack strap in seconds which is critical if I need to free my hands quickly.

Love these things.
