If a Kbin member requests deletion of their personal account and they happen to be a community owner, would ownership of that community default to the moderator with the next-longest tenure? That's how it worked at the bad place, is it the same way here?

How long does account deletion normally take after the deletion is requested? Also, do the posts get nuked along with the account, or do they remain on Kbin?

Yeah, a marketing ploy by a fascist organization:

While SkyTree Book Fairs presents itself as an independent non-profit organization, it appears to be a hastily assembled offshoot of Brave Books, which publishes children's books by right-wing pundits and pseudo-celebrities.

Fuckin gross.

Sry but you're too late, I already paid a visit to Post Nut Clarity bank

Before mom moved to Jacksonville, when she was still... deep breath I'm sorry, this is hard. It feels like it was just last week. She used to....what was that, honey?

It was last week. Anyway, mom used to tell me she was a big Connie West fan until this happened, whatever this is, and Taylor deserved better. I remember one time I tried to comfort her, I was like, at least Connie is rocking that shiny dress, right? But she just looked at me funny and put it in a safe deposit box after that.

I'll be honest, I don’t even know where Jacksonville is.

"We know it's a necessary thing for us to hit our new and needed goals. So overall, good progress and we push on."

Layoffs have been one of the defining events of the games industry this year, with thousands of jobs being cut across dozens of companies, all attempting to slash costs as the rapid economic growth of the pandemic years comes screeching to a halt. No company is more emblematic of both these extremes than Embracer Group. In the last few years, Embracer has embarked upon a frenzied spending spree, snapping up studios like Gearbox, Crystal Dynamics Eidos Montreal, and many more, all apparently to stack the decks in a deal with an unknown partner worth at least $2 billion.

I asked my great grandfather about it, and he just kinda wept for a minute, stared off into space and said it belonged to his friend Jen Ex or something. He held my hand in his bony decrepit booger hooks, and I could see the years, the decades of joy, heartbreak, triumph, and pain flash across his eyes, and he was... more alive, really present, you know? than I'd seen him in years. Then he peed his pants.

This frickin comic, it gets me every time. It is a lot like that. I try to reason, be rational, consider options, but I get nothing back. It's like trying to hail the Reliant, all I get is static.

What a crock of shit. Johnson & Johnson netted $17 billion USD in 2022, so it's not like they can't afford to pay any settlements. They just don't want to. In the last 5 years they netted 84 billion dollars, and that is all profit. Yeah, fuck you, J&J

It’s just the kids reading her books 20 years ago didn’t recognize all the problematic shit she wrote till they grew up.

Adult here who was an adult when the books came out and recognized all the awful racist and sexist imagery. I have nothing new to add to the conversation, I'm just gonna vent. There were quite a few of us here and there who spoke up when the books were published, but we were significantly outnumbered and immediately drowned out by the "shut up and stop complaining" crowd. Yes, all this talk of "problematic" issues in the Potter books are old observations we've been rehashing for two decades...the goblins who run the banks are a horrifyingly obvious Jewish caricature, Chinese character Cho Chang's first name is actually a Korean last name, the one black guy in the whole fuckin series is named "Shacklebolt" (seriously wtf), the one Irish character goes by "Seamus Finnegan," the main female character Hermione is constantly referred to as "bossy"...just to name a few. JFC, what a shitshow.

Ok, one more example that got a lot of attention years back but sort of faded away from public consciousness: in the first movie there's a bigass six-pointed star on the fuckin floor of Gringotts, of all places. You know, Gringotts. The bank......where the undeniably Jew-like goblins work. No fuckin shit, it's right there, plain as day. That one still boggles my mind. I mean, what the fuck, man. https://i.postimg.cc/Jzx2hr31/happry-potter-1-star-of-david-gringotts.png

EDIT: Hey everyone, it's been abuot an hour now and I just want to apologize for all this negativity. I've given this a lot of thought, and I've come to realize all the anti-this and anti-that complaints are really unfair and show only one side of JK Rowling. So I feel compelled to balance this out and remind everyone that she is also pro-slavery. Especially the kind of slavery that forces its slaves to work completely naked, and no one in the book has a problem with it except for the bossy lib girl that everyone hates.

edit: if you dig deeper (and I don't blame you if you don't), you'll find a lot more than just annoying posts over there. It's full of right wing propaganda

It’s insane that people defend the CCP.

They're already here, in this thread. Guess what instance they're from.

Good lord, this place has been on a roll lately. I'm so glad I subscribed.

They're just misunderstood. Uh, yeah, misunderstood. That's it.

It's so melodramatic, it sounds like a child's attempt at satire. Like, try saying that out loud and not cringing.

Hi all, I'm from kbin. One of your users, Agareth, told me to go hang myself earlier today. I checked their user history and there's hate speech there, they called some the 3-letter f-word. Just fyi.

I won't complain if you delete this post if this is in violation of your rules, but if you do that, please send this info to the instance admins or tell me how to get ahold of them. I'm not sure how messaging works between instances in the 'verse.

Greetings, Kbinners (and anyone else from the 'verse who might be reading this). Back on the platform most of us migrated from, there was/is a subreddit called r/menslib, which was like r/mensrights minus the misogyny and shitting on marginalized groups and minorities. Those of you who subbed will remember it was a great place to chat about mental health, gender roles, societal expectations, toxic masculinity, things like that.

So far, I've not been able to find its equivalent in the fediverse. Here on Kbin, there's m/men, but that basically mirrors the old mensrights sub. It's gross. I found https://lemmy.ca/c/mensliberation in lemmy.ca, but that community is small (9 members) and inactive. I used Kbin's magazine/community search and only found those two; I then tried Google, came up with no leads and figured either my Google fu just sucks or their algorithm is getting worse (likely both), so I tried duckduckgo and still found nothing. Pretty much everything I found that is even remotely related is from people looking for the same thing or is a post or comment on Reddit itself.

Is there a place out there like the old menslib? I mean, there must be, right? Help me, fediversers. You're my only hope.

Edit: I have been banned from m/men. I mean, that's fine, I wouldn't fit in there anyway, because I don't think men are the ones being oppressed.

You can fuck right off with that bad faith "both sides" horseshit. You aren't fooling anyone, people are wising up to this shitty tactic.
