One thing I'm trying to keep an eye on is sup. Not much information at all besides a snippet of 1 to 1 encrypted messaging for activitypub, but the tidbit of working with any fediverse account is interesting. Potentially that could help deal with the different fediverse implementations of messaging. Of course, like I said, this is just me making up assumptions, it could not work the way I envision it at all. The creator just posted something 5d ago about it with "soon" though, so I'm hoping to read more about it

The short answer is no but the longer answer for what happens in each situation was detailed here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1051

lemmy -> kbin = pretends to send but doesn't

It looks like all the spam I've seen are from newly registered accounts. Perhaps this is something you've already considered, but would shutting off registration on kbin.social and pointing people to other instances until things are more manageable help?

The issue is here https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019. It was fixed with a PR but I don't believe that PR has made it to kbin.social yet

I certainly wasn't trying to counter your post in any way or anything (especially as a non-kbin.social user), just provide information for people who might not be aware. kbin.social users basically have to see all of their posts with no way to interact or exchange with the other party, giving them little options. And for people who are unaware of this, they might be replying to their users in hopes of discussion or debate that will never happen

One thing to keep in mind is they don't federate with kbin.social; so they can't see your posts or replies, and can't reply to you. I believe your upvotes won't federate (maybe to other instances, but not to theirs at least). Downvotes work the same as they do for any other post as those don't federate in kbin to begin with. One-sided federation in the fediverse seems like it can be a bit confusing to users, I'm not sure in what case it's a good idea in since it can be like talking to a void.

Just to follow up on this KES has a magazine https://kbin.social/m/enhancement with install instructions. If you're able to use addons with how you browse kbin, you can rearrange it using this under Threads -> Rearrange post order. The suggested order has the reply box at the top

This goes up to 120 days:

https://kbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=120

This seems to be a popular topic today, I imagine it must be getting worse for kbin.social users (the errors when posting threads / images, if it is that)

I made this issue for what you described https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019

@ernest sorry to ping you but just want to make sure you're aware of this as the last ~4+ posts to this magazine have been about this issue

Firefox runs really poorly for twitch and youtube videos for me in linux; mainly in CPU. Brave will use maybe 10-20% of my cpu for a single twitch stream whereas firefox uses about 80%. I use firefox for all my browsing, but for videos it just doesn't seem to work well... Perhaps a different chromium browser would be better as you say.

I attended a talk in 2019 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee on Solid, which sort of seems related to what you are getting at. The idea being that you own your data/identity, and can decide to share it with third parties. It goes over things like files, but I believe login identities were also meant to be part of it, I see when I scroll down:

authenticated by a decentralized extension of OpenID Connect

I've been wondering recently, especially with Pixelfed adding login with Mastodon recently, if anyone has heard or experienced anything with that project. But considering I haven't seen it spoken about or implemented since then, I'm not sure I should be hopeful

Just a note that the original team moved to PrivacyGuides. I didn't do much reading into the entire ordeal as it seems like a sort of each side has a story ( here's privacyguides ), but you can see on the site you linked it seems to be a bunch of ads and crypto now.
