Moving to: m/AskMbin!

I have "hide NSFW content" turned on in settings but porn images keep showing up in the random bar. This seems new.

There are a fair number of totally empty magazines created during rexit, with no threads, yet a fair number of subscribers (because the name matches a popular sub from Reddit). I clicked on one this morning, because I saw it in random magazines side bar section. No threads. Created a month ago by a user who hasn't posted a single thread or comment on Kbin.

This is like obvious scammers during a gold rush. Some people just wanted to reserve magazine names with no intention of doing anything helpful. Maybe they just wanted bragging rights by claiming to be a moderator. Maybe they think they can sell control of the magazine later. It doesn't matter to me. I just think an admin should delete these sorts of magazines. Anyone who starts a magazine should at least post a few threads. Absolute 'no effort at all' owners contribute nothing.

I just think Kbin would seem more functional and positive if the magazines that exist actually had some content.

Edit: based on a comment below, it seems that Ernest has a tentative plan in place for this sort of situation, which is great :)

What are microblogs in kbin ? Can a microblog be posted in a profile? Or can a microblog be posted only in a magazine?

hello,
i do use

@ magazine @ kbin.social (does work),
while @m/magazine | m/magazine doesn't work.

but if a user with this @ exist in the fediverse, it does try to link to the user instead of the magazine?

here an example: @lain

another way would to be simply [link] but isn't there a easier way?

is there a post/site where things like this are clarified? didn't found one yet.

ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines

In my opinion, Abby from TLOU 2. During the first part of the game, she is portrayed as the bad girl, but when she become the playable character, you understand that she isn't:

-Her father and friends were unnecessarly killed.
-She became pariah from her clan when she saved a member of a rival clan.
-She have been harschly tortured.
-She spared Ellie despite having occasions to kill her for understandable reasons.

I don't get why many players didn't changed their minds at the second part of the game, it's so obvious that the real bad people are Ellie and Joël. Theres no problem about having sympathy for bad guys, but you must keep your critical mind.

And what infuriates me is that people even harassed the voice actress because of what her character did. Come on, guys !

I think it started last week when my posts were not getting any upvotes at all. Then I posted a reddit link into incognito window and yep, my post appears as deleted. Probably because I was promoting kbin.social in some of the subreddits. F**kers. I accumulated 150K comment karma over the last 15 years.

Edit: looks like my account was deleted too. I can still log on with the same name but in an incognito mode, I don't exist on reddit.

For me, it has to be this, the final scene from Stanley Kubrick's "Paths Of Glory".

If you're on kbin and getting an invalid csrf error, can't log in; use your email address instead of your username and you might be able to get in.

If not, try another browser.

Many magazines i browsed don't have any content. You can post here the ones you'd like to see more populated.

According the statistics i did all by myself:

-47% of magazines don't have any thread/publication
-70% of magazines don't have any comments

I'm working on an activism campaign kicking off next week opposing some bad internet bills in the US -- here's the magazine I just set up. Once things get going, we'll be sharing links there including information and actions people can take.

Have there been other activism campaigns on kbin and Lemmy, and if so what to learn from them?

Or, any thoughts on what could make an activism campaign successful here?

Apparently they also made the garlic chilli sauce I used to buy that I can't find anymore either. I've got a couple recipes I'm not making anymore since I can't find it.

hey! I am shopping online for new undies because the brands I preferred are a bit uncomfortable now. I have used brands like TomboyX trunks and men’s Pair of Thieves boxer briefs.

TomboyX was okay but pretty pricey. For me it tended to ride up and chafe, and I didn’t like that there is a seam in a weird spot. Over time they haven’t held up very well too, which is disappointing.

Pair of Thieves was fantastic and I loved them! However, I have lost some weight and now they sit uncomfortably. They don’t ride up, but they feel almost loose. I can’t go down sizes because I am already at the smallest size.

Anyone have any suggestions of other brands, or maybe some hacks? I may even try modifying if anyone swears by it. Thanks!!

My pair of Teufel Massive just broke, and they just stopped making this model.
I need a new pair of headphones and have nothing against a upgrade.
My hearing profile is mainly electronic music on various genres, but I have a focus on large massive sounding bass but also crisp highs and nice mids, but not the fake DSP bass modern powered headphones do.
The Teufel Massive did that perfectly for me.

Someone here who can recommend a good pair of headphones that should fit my listening profile. I have nothing against needing a headphone amp for them. But no bluetooth or usb powered ones please.

im 20 for reference. ever since i was a kid, up until hs, we were forced every morning to stand, look at the flag and hold our hearts and say:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

i didnt stand a single time because i disagreed with being forced, and i was berated by the teacher in front of everyone, and he threatened to kick me out of class if i ever did it again. i was about 11-12 then, it was 2015.

I've noticed (with the help of family members and my SO) that I've become very negative, cynical and drained lately. Reading about burnout, I find all of the symptoms to be true for myself.

My job requires me to work on a single project full-time, and a couple of small side-projects. The management of the project is very chaotic and I feel more and more inadequate for my position. Priorities constantly change and just looking at the week's schedule in Monday, I can tell the we're not going meet the set goal by Friday. It has been like that for more than a year. It doesn't help that I've become very pessimistic about the main project's future.

Outside of work, I don't have much free time. The little I have, I try to spend with my loved ones. Hobbies and other interests are on the back burner.

As the title implies, I don't have the option of quitting or taking a sabbatical at the moment.

I know kbin is not a replacement for therapy but I was just wondering if anyone has been through this and found anything helpful other that distancing from their current workplace.

What the title says. Every year I hear everyone at work go buzzing about Prime Day, and then when I'd go check what items were on sale they were mostly cheap gaff and a bunch of minimally discounted tech products. Am I missing something that's optimal to get around this time of year?

pretty much the title

I'm still not entirely sure how all this magic works but would I be correct to assume it's only thread data that's transfered across the fediverse? And because Kbin is Kbin, it shouldn't have the exploit the Lemmy software has right?

Appologies if this seems stupid - it's a genuine question

Yesterday i had a pain in the foot for no reason, walking was highly suffering, then the pain disappeared suddenly and i never understood where it came from.

Sometimes, the rules you have to respect for your job may have ethical problems. Did you violated one of these rules ?

With SEO ruining search engines I thought this would be an interesting question.

I'm American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it's not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?

Robert Downey Jr is the obvious case of a person who had a redemption arc, to simplify it he was a promising actor that got addicted to drugs, fell off, went to rehab and then became a huge hollywood big stsr known, even known for being Iron Man.

What real life person had a redemption arc?

The youtube comments can be a very toxic place but if you know where to look there are also very wholesome communities.

Like say for example I wanted a cool icon for my kbin/lemmy community.

I used the Reddit forhire sub in the past but it seems less active nowadays.. plus it's Reddit..

And I've used fiverr before but it seems better suited for having a cool artwork made than for webdesign or something highly specific due to the language barrier.
