  • I made a kbin and a beehaw account originally, then left beehaw when they raised a ton of red flags about how incapable they were at moderating at scale. Then I made a Vlemmy account until the insurance just disappeared overnight. So at this point I’m on kbin exclusively by accident I guess, but I do like the default mobile UI and the Artemis app more than any of the current lemmy UI options (though I am waiting eagerly for Sync).

    Curious what parts of kbin are confusing or more difficult to use when compared to Lemmy?

    As far as I can tell, they’re mostly the same, especially coming from Reddit






  • Mine has become my couch gaming set up for my TV, so pretty much anything compatible with controller support gets played on the couch instead of on my PC. Also use it for playing torrented TV shows & movies on my TV by remote mounting my media drives on my PC.

    I’ve also brought it around for travel a few times now, but I also don’t travel all that much either.

    Overall I really only would 100% recommend it if you’re willing to tinker with the Linux half to really unlock the full potential of having basically a really decent Linux HTPC at your disposal. That said, it’s not a requirement and I think it functions super well in the Steam gaming mode on its own.




  • Good. Until a studio can point to a known-dataset that isn’t just ripping art illegally from sources they don’t have the rights to use then it’s just not worth the risk.

    It’s not 100% unrealistic that large studios like Blizzard and Riot (who have very clear styles that “work well” with AI generation weirdness) will eventually have huge in-house datasets that they own since it’s all created under the umbrella of their employees and contractors who already sign away all the rights when they make content for the games they’re working on. But until that happens, it’s so obviously a red flag / great area that Valve’s move is just a no-brainer.





  • Disappointing but I understand it in the sense that their goal has always been “safe, controlled community” way before they accidentally became one of the largest instances.

    I had an account there first, and then made one on kbin since the federation issues with kbin could have potentially lasted awhile, but after this I think it’s best to leave beehaw behind if this if going to be any indication of how they’re handling their inability to properly moderate at scale. Big red flag IMO.
