What are your editorial criteria for determining what matters most?

Do you need to? No. But I do have accounts on both and will keep it that way, because they’re just completely different experiences and Kbin isn’t to a point yet IMO to fully replace Mastodon on the client level.
And yet somehow they say that’s their reasoning - that they’re trying to become profitable.
Any particular reason you opted to split your old community between here and Lemmy? I hope you know that both new communities can be accessed from across the fediverse, as kbin and lemmy both federate.
No idea. Maybe hosts typically follow a policy of not snooping in stored files without a ticket requesting or authorizing it implicitly or explicitly. At least that would make sense to me.
AFAIK, web hosting clients here in the US don’t really have any expectation of privacy from their host itself.
This is true. I know of one that doesn’t care but I’d prefer not to out them even though a lot of people surely know already.
But how could a provider find out, if they are one that cares? Well, they could sniff all their network traffic, do some SPI/DPI on it, store those logs, and run automated analysis on them periodically.
Even then, they’re not going to do the job of, say, the RIAA or MPAA for them. So in most cases, the only way a host would find you out on their own is things like high storage usage (maybe), high amounts of commonly-pirated file types, and high usage of certain protocols (like torrent). Outside of that, probably nothing would happen until your host gets a DMCA notice.
If they get paid based on impressions rather than clicks, then even browsing would help them.
Depends what you mean. I've used one before, and it worked well, but with mesh filters you will always get the oils coming through that paper removes. Some people like it that way, others don't. James Hoffman prefers paper filters; when I heard him say that and why, I gave them another try and decided he was right. They do give a "cleaner" quality to the taste.
Call me weird, but I've done somewhat ok attempting to avoid the oils/fines with a French press by basically putting a paper towel over the glass before putting the plunger thing back into it. So the paper towel wraps around the metal mesh, not only adding its filtering to the mesh but also improving the seal it makes against the side of the glass. It does mean that I have to press it down more slowly before pouring, but that's just because it's doing its job so I don't mind. It also means that the mesh/plunger bit requires less cleaning afterward.
I just want to point out to anyone interested in kbin+docker stuff that OP has published their Docker image of Kbin to Docker Hub. https://hub.docker.com/r/elestio/kbin
I actually ran across this image before I saw this post.
This is a very contentious topic right now, and it’s not clear at the moment whether votes will remain public or be made private. There are some very vocal proponents on both sides.
