We need to either rework the the upvote/downvote system or to get rid of it completely. It's not fulfilling its task anymore.
  • My question to you: how do you solve the moderation staffing requirements? Imagine if every post that got downvoted was instead reported.

    The solution here assumes that 'report' sends a post to some nether realm where nobody has to deal with it ever again; but all it's doing is passing the buck, and I don't think that's viable unless the moderation team is the same size as the userbase.

    If you then mandate a sixty-character comment, then nobody's going to bother reporting anyway, and you end up with a worse problem..

  • Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts
  • But if we know that it makes things up and gets things wrong, how can we trust any information it gives us? Fact-checking is one thing, but at that point, you might as well skip the LLM and just look the information up yourself.

  • Gotta get down on Friday
  • Off to Arcade Club this weekend with some friends! It's going to be like an oven in there...

  • A few thoughts about the blackout and the future development of the Fediverse.
  • On the other hand, I've been on my fair share of sites that only need an email address to open an account - they don't ask for anything else, and you're straight in. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, typically, but they do exist. It's weird.

  • What's an underrated classic you feel more people should know about?
  • I'm going to say Hokus Pokus Pink. It's not the greatest adventure game ever made, and its puzzles are fairly simplistic if I recall, being aimed at a younger audience. But it's got a certain weird charm to it. It's compellingly bizarre!
    The writing is surprisingly good too, and the Pink Panther and his utter cluelessness about what's going on makes for a fun protagonist.

  • Welcome to the new adventure game community!
  • Hello there! Thanks for making this, looking forward to being a part of it.

  • What is the most annoying ADHD trait that you have?
  • I'm still not sure if I have ADHD or not, but it's still a common trait, so I'll say the fact that I keep forgetting everything! Some things, I can remember in meticulous detail, as if it's right in front of me - Calvin and Hobbes strips spring to mind. Other things slide off my brain into the etheral unknown space, and while they're still lodged somewhere in my memory banks, they're painfully out of reach.
    I seem to forget a lot of very basic stuff, to the point where it looks like I can't be arsed, and it's as frustrating for me as it probably is for everyone else - if not more so!

  • Which is your favourite scifi TV show?
  • Firefly! I adore the Wild West theme mixed with the sci-fi elements. Feels really unique, and it represents what the spacefaring future probably would look like to the average person. Like everyone else, I'm livid it only got one series, even after all these years.

    (I even made a magazine for it: https://kbin.social/m/browncoats )

  • What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • Conversely, I work in IT Support and I get asked programming questions far too often... even to the point where I'm asked to fix applications despite not being a dev.

    Then again, I basically have to deal with anything that's got a plug on the end. I guess code falls into that category in some peoples' heads.

  • Hey keebinetters and fediverse, what are your favourite kbin/fediverse magazines (communities)?
  • I just created a sub for prog rock - hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. @prog
    EDIT: also made a couple more, while I was at it!

  • Dear pre-migration Keebinetters, how can we NOT ruin kbin for you?
  • Or a transcript of the entire Spanish Inquisition sketch.
