You have no right to say that the way you, personnally, use kbin is to be forced on everyone else.

Different people have different preferences. Kbin is perfectly capable of addressing both major branches on this issue, so it doesn't make sense to throw away one entire side just because you prefer the other.

If you want forum specific content that is generally considered spicy, go to that forum directly rather than complain that every other forum not handle your need for spicy content in an effective way for all parties.

This has nothing to do with complaining about how other forums handle this.

This is about how kbin handles it, and kbin is designed to incorporate multiple forums from multiple instances. In other words, we're talking about how kbin should be able to do what it's designed to do even better.

And if it's a user setting, which is my preference, then everyone can decide for themselves whether or not it's enabled.

It is if you want the ability to scan down the page and decide what links you're interested in by using the thumbnail.

If you are interested in text posts, it makes sense to scan the titles. If you are interested in images, it makes sense to scan the thumbnails.

Having them blurred adds extra work and is an extra annoyance - and since there is an individual user-level setting for whether or not you want to see NSFW content, it makes no sense to mandate the blurring.

What are you imagining would be the title that we see on /all or whatever feed?

Ah, that's an excellent point.

The irony is that the worst cases of shared links are from OF creators - but they bot-blast those links, so they all have the exact same title. That makes it easy - if every duplicate link has the same title, then just use that.

But for cases where they have different titles, you would either have to choose a generic system-generated title or alternatively, use the title of the instance that has the greatest engagement.

All of these questions, however, can be designed to be user-selectable in each of our own settings. That way, a person can decide whether or not they even want to stack duplicates, and if so, how is the title chosen.

It's also important to note that individual users can block an entire instance as well.

Just click on the name of the instance in parentheses next to the title of a thread and then click the Block button there.

If you think about the OF creators literally posting the same image in 100 different subs, you'll see that there's a practical limit to the number of tabs that will display.

Instead, I'm thinking that a text link-list of all the subs (with instances shown) it's been posted to is easier to manage. Then whichever one you click brings you to the localized comments page for that thread.

If you do it that way, then you can have a user configuration setting as to whether the link list is shown fully on each thread listing or whether there's a "+" button to expand it out.

Oddly enough, they initially mentioned kbin.social directly, but we're not on the list anymore.

We've been replaced by https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list , however, we're not listed there, either.

You're absolutely right that a good politics sub (I don't think I'll ever get used to the term "magazine", but "sub" is nicely generic) requires good moderation.

But if kbin largely consists of reddit's most active users and moderators - the ones who care about the community as well as principles and values, then I think we have an excellent start.

A number of years ago, they stopped recommending and teaching tourniquets because they were concerned about people losing limbs unnecessarily if tourniquets were to be applied unnecessarily.

However, then the Boston Marathon bombing occurred and the California nightclub shooting and they realized that they had made a tragic mistake because a lot of people lost their lives when they could have been saved.

So now, tourniquets are once again recommended and taught.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Have a good day.

If you see no reasons why someone would switch accounts, then you just haven't really thought it through. And you do people a serious disservice by painting all of them who use multiple accounts with the same brush.

For one thing, people treat comments by moderators differently then they treat comments by everyone else. So if a moderator wishes to contribute a point of view to their own sub, but don't want people to assign it special weight, it makes sense to post it under a non-moderator account.

And if you don't understand the importance of sex in the human experience, then that's something you'll have to figure out on your own. But consider that without an interest in sex, you would not be alive.

There's nothing wrong with desiring sex and having sexual attraction to others. It's literally the genetic hardwiring that is responsible for the procreation and survival of our species as well as many others.

It's not uncommon for people to have one account configured to show NSFW content and another account used at work that does not - for obvious reasons of professional behavior.

And for those who are NSFW content creators, they have an even more obvious reason to separate that side of themselves from other discussions.

Another reason why someone would have separate accounts is to have one account where they expose their profession in order to be able to contribute as a subject matter expert, and another account where they participate in discussions without that link to their life. So a lawyer might use one account to offer legal opinions and another account to talk about their gaming hobbies without being constantly asked for legal help.

Just because you, personally, don't feel a need to have multiple accounts does not mean that there is no good reason for others to do so.
