I'm gonna go with this:

"We screwed up our Planet, Earth is our last hope for humanity"

That'd be the biggest UNO reverse card ever.

As a car enthusiast, I can think of a good one, the Ford Nucleon.

During the 1950s and 1960s, there was considerable interest in nuclear power and its potential applications. This led to the idea of using nuclear energy to propel cars. The concept behind a nuclear car was to utilize a small nuclear reactor to generate steam, which would then power the vehicle's engine.

Of course back in those days, this was extremely futurustic and some at the time thought this would be a game changer, but ultimately, the safety aspect was one of the biggest reasons why this idea was dropped, and I probably don't have to explain why it may not have considered to be safe, I mean, it was using nuclear power, so even if the engineers tried to make it as safe as possible, IF something went wrong, it would have been catastrophic.

Ever since then, the interests in the automotive sector has shifted to Electric and Hydrogen.

Still, a very intriguing concept car and idea.

Outside cars, you have blimps, and I personally believe if we tried to make something like a hindenburg today with existing technology, we might have been a lot more successful than back then (as it goes way back to 1930s), there are still some blimps used occasionally, I also don't believe those use hydrogen(?), but they are not the "game changer in air travel" it was once seen as, although we can't rule out a comeback.

What about you guys?

What would be a good sign coming out of such people?

Original Post

Hello everyone! I'm launching a website for Kbin Migration today, a very very simple, basic and hopefully easy to use website with useful resources to help users move to Kbin and the fediverse from Reddit!

Before I started working on the website, I initiated and worked on launching r/KbinMigration, and worked on my first guide here.

But ever since Reddit attempted to ban my initatives here (just like it did with my past lemmy initatives) such as r/KbinMigration just to unban it later thanks to the community noticing Reddit's attempt at censoring it, and of course, me sending messages to r/reddit's mods explaining how they banned r/KbinMigration for "spam" ridiculously when we literally had only 2 pinned posts back then.

But I later realized that putting my resources on Reddit that help people migrate from Reddit probably isn't my greatest idea, and I shouldn't be surprised if Reddit ever decides to ban my iniatives in the future for good, especially if it gets bigger, hence I decided to stop updating my guide from r/KbinMigration and instead work on my own simple website, just a place outside Reddit where I can display the resources without having a potential risk of losing it which would mean making it inaccessible to those who need it.

In the past few months, I have taken other initatives as well, the most important one being my arrival to r/RedditAlternatives mod team (thankful for the opportunity!), to help the sub with moderation in my free time and improving the sub along with the other guys in the team, in ways we can. Apart from that, I also help moderate huge communities on Kbin itself, such as m/AskKbin.

This website is an important step in realizing my vision in hopefully being people from Reddit to Kbin and the Fediverse, and I hope all of you find it useful!

If you have any feedback for any of the guides/resources we have on Kbin Migration, let me know! I will continue to push more updates and new resources as this is just the beginning, hence more to come. I will also be promoting and sharing this initiative inside Kbin, especially within the communities I already moderate as well. I want this to be a user/community-run initative, so those who have any feedback, it will be very very valuable and certainly help me shape all the current and future resources we will have on Kbin Migration!

Thank you :)

EDIT:

Update V2, improved readability of text on the website, especially page text on guides, as we were using grey before but now we've switched to white, which means all the text should now appear clear and a lot more readable. This change was made based on user-feedback.

The main, first and introductory guide "The redditor's guide to how Kbin works" is now pinned on top by default, all other posts/guides will be shown after that. This change was also based on user-feedback.

Additionally, users can also now follow the website, and comment on any of the available guides to leave feedback and etc.

Ernest said this was coming last Monday? Has there been any updates yet? I haven't seen any announcements and I'm wondering if it's actually already here and I just haven't realized it?

I only get notifications when somone DMs me, but when I make a post and people upvote/comment on it, I get no notification whatsoever.

My settings are default and I haven't changed much, so it's as it would have been when I first created an account, hence I don't believe I disabled anything either.

If it's not a me issue, then @ernest please do consider making this an important issue to be addressed, and the reason I say that is because it makes Kbin look dead to me, because when I don't get notified, people would have still conversed with me through my threads on the comments, and also when I don't get notified about upvotes apart from comments, I don't even know my post got that much traction unless I manually check it every time.

That being said I know the developer is very busy with Kbin, it's certainly a feat to create an all-in-one Lemmy and Mastodon alternative with a codebase built from scratch with activitypub compatibility.

So I do understand Kbin is in early development phase and this may already be planned (if yes, great), but even if it is or not, do make this a priority as without proper notifications, whenever I check back Kbin it looks too quiet (especially when it comes to the content I posted).

Edit: Okay sorry for the confusion. Upvotes do get notifications, even on Reddit but not for every upvote, for example if a post gets upvotes to 10, 50, 100, Reddit notifies you. That is what I mean't, not every upvote.

Thank you!

I currently moderate communities like m/AskKbin and I would like to know if there is anyway using CSS, I can make my community look more like old reddit or more compact, so the user don't have to install a theme on their own and automatically see this style whenever they come to communities I moderate on Kbin.

If anyone can shed some light on this, I will edit and add the CSS instructions on this post so other mods can use it on their communities/magazines too.

BTW the reason I am asking this is because I have 0 knowledge when it comes to CSS.

Hello everyone!

I've launched a few other communities aside from r/AskKbin, and as a result, some of the rules will change as well, please keep reading to learn more.

• m/Help: A magazine for all your questions (and get answers) about Kbin.

• m/ModHelp: Are you a moderator of a magazine/community? And have any questions about how things work on the moderation side of things on Kbin? Join us there. It's early stage, we will also soon be launching more initatives to bring moderators together and establish moderator-focused community.

• m/FindAKbin: Looking for a magazine/community? Join us there and ask it right away, someone will help you find the right community you are looking for.

Linked Magazines listed above are from the kbin.social instance, hence if you are in another instance, please click "Magazines" on the top bar and try searching for these communities manually instead, if you can't find some, give it some time, as they grow, they may appear. Remember federation on Kbin is still early stage and is being improved, it may take some time to appear. You can also try requesting your instance admin to look over if a community doesn't appear on your instance even after a certain period of time.

As a result, any posts that may be posted here on AskKbin that would otherwise belong on any of the above magazines would be removed moving forward and re-directed to the appropriate community. Why this change? To improve the quality of content here and especially as Kbin is a new platform, many platform related questions, for example, may appear and a dedicated community for that is much better than having all that thrown in one community, as we want more broad, general topics discussed here other than Kbin itself. it's one of the many things I have learned from being a long time reddit moderator as moderation when done rightly, is vital for the community's health/growth. Also do keep in mind the mentioned communities above are in early stage, and will continue to be improved. We may also bring more partner magazines!

I'd also like to very much thank many of those who have been contributing to our magazine here, m/AskKbin won't thrive without you and your feedback is vital, so if you have any further suggestions or improvements, please do let me know!

Thank you and have a wonderful day :)
