Come on, buddy lol.

We came to this thread brother, we should not be surprised lmao

Whelp…boo-urns. :(

OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

I’m a cis boy and I have boobs.

Well I wish you luck in finding what you’re looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn’t it.

Any community that isn’t 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod ‘censoring’ or deleting something that you wanna see.

Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don’t own and run it in its entirely, that’s a problem you cannot avoid.

So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I’m right on this one lol.

I know right? Magical!

You can, it’s called hosting your own instance. It’s literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. ‘Fuck you I don’t like how you’re running things, I’ll go make my own with blackjack and hookers’). If an instance admin does things you don’t like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.

What you describe is the reason I switched from sync to boost years ago!

Never.

kbin has been vastly lagging behind lemmy because for a lengthy period of time development has been effectively stopped as the primary dev (ernest) was going through some bad real life issues which took priority. This led to a lot of people leaving kbin or blocking it outright because of spam and bots and lack of updates.

Ernest returned a weekish ago and is back to publishing updates (including several which have already killed the spam problem, being able to transfer community ownership and more) and daily posts dictating what he’s working on and pushing (including the API which should be within the next few days).

Lemmy at this point has had a huge head start and isn’t basically one person so kbin lagging behind isn’t surprising. Doesn’t mean their statement of ‘But this is also why Kbin is the best technology, combining both platforms.’ is any less accurate. Kbin does combine both platforms, Lemmy doesn’t. ‘Best’ can be subjective, but if that’s their opinion then there ya go.

If only :(

This was basically my situation, and it happened at age 4 so ironically some of my first memories are relating to my own circumcision 🙃. I also remember the doctor, with me laying on the table, trying to pull back my foreskin (again…4…) and making the call that I should be circumcised.

I’m not gonna gripe much about it after the fact. My mother did much, much worse things to me than have me circumcised for me to complain about so it’s just one more thing on the pile. I have zero frame of reference to feeling what being uncircumcised is like so I can’t really miss what I don’t know, but my cock works as well as I want and need it to (fuck even more than I want it to some days at 40yo…) so while I’m not happy it occurred without my consent, there’s little I can do with it and it has thankfully never affected my life in any negative way.

My wife and I are both in agreement however that should we ever have kids, we sure aren’t doing it outside of actual medical needs.

Lotta words to justify people being turned on by the sight of the underaged.

Smack em, assert the same statements. If they argue, smack em again and repeat.

You look fantastic my dude, you got this.

I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.

Make sure you are following hashtags if you aren’t. Follow people to get everything they post. Follow hashtags and you’ll just get interest based posts (since pretty much everyone hashtags the shit out of their posts for visibility).

Thank shit lol. I’m a kbin guy so I’m still gonna wait a while for the kbin API to come out before I can use it with my main account, but at least its out and I can use it with a compatible one in the meantime! I left Sync for Boost (with Reddit lol) and I’m glad this is here now.
