How does it work when you ask to moderate a federated magazine?

Right? I remember watching some time ago a AI-generated video of an actress - I think it was Kirsten Stewart - doing a monologue. It was eerily undistinguishable from reality. This is happening, and actors have all the rights to be upset by it until proper compensation rules are in place.

The RNC can’t even find enough testicular fortitude to tell Trump to fuck off.

They need Trump's rabid following to have any chance in the upcoming election, simple as that. Relying on the Dem's inanity and self-sabotage tendencies is too much of a risk, so they are resigned to kiss the orange oaf's arse to save their seats.

I'm sure a vast majority of the Rep MP's is secretly hoping Trump gets properly incarcerated and invalidated in some way from running, so that they can say "sorry, not our fault" and return to autonomy.

Among all Fediverse softwares, Kbin is the one I like the most - from the clean interface to the local community, which I really like - just the right balance between serious topics and memes, and decent comment quality.

Even if I'm most active on some federated communities, I don't plan to switch anytime soon.

The only headscratcher that - more than "not like", just puzzled me a bit - is the different naming convention (magazines, microblogs, etc.), but again it's a small thing.

My eyesight is getting shot by looking at a monitor for so many hours, both at work and off work, so Doc said to switch to analogue - if I have to read something, let it be books.

I'm into pretty much all genres, so if there is any book you particularly like or recommend, I'm all ears (and eyes)!

EDIT: thanks for the great suggestions, I'm checking all of them!!!

I feel you. I hate that question. I'm over 50, don't have kids and the reasons are only mine. And my wife's.

Not considering vaporware or failed products (e.g. Eolo car):

  • The Esperanto language. (Yes, I'm old)

  • NFTs.

  • Blockchain. Yes, it has its use, but it's not the pervasive, all-use game changer it was claimed to be.

  • Sony Betamax. Pity because it was better than VHS.

  • New Coke. Nuff said.

What if hate speech is coming from the owner of a magazine?

Right now there's no other way than contacting the admins, I'm afraid.

I got in a rabbit hole of his blog articles and my word, this poor guy really had it bad his whole life. I'm glad he's better now.

What a horrible day to have a memory.

[-] MeccAnon@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Fantastic, thanks! Probably that's why it was never picked up - I was always searching either using @feddit.it or teoriamusicale@feddit.it but never using the first @ symbol.

Going straight to the point: I was wondering what is the criteria for kbin to pick federated magazines (number of subscribers maybe?) and if there is a way or workaround to pull/force them into the "All magazines" list.

For example, I am interested in https://feddit.it/c/teoriamusicale, which would translate into kbin's URL https://kbin.social/m/teoriamusicale@feddit.it. It has been created weeks ago and probably it hasn't been picked because of lack of content. I would like to contribute to it without having to create a feddit account (I'm quite attached to my kbin one).

I'm sure many of us here had/have the same issue - how did you work around it?
