kbin.pub website devs, if you're reading: - Your site says nothing. It doesn't say what kbin is, why I should bother, why it's useful. - You have a link to do

kbin.pub website devs, if you're reading:
- Your site says nothing. It doesn't say what kbin is, why I should bother, why it's useful.
- You have a link to docs. No thanks. Show me CONTENT. If I see content I like, I'll sign up.
- Why is fediverse better? (I know what it is, the average viewer won't)
- Mobile app "coming soon"? No, that should be directly the "Download Alpha Mobile App" Button. People know what alpha and beta are.
- Cute graphics = this is VC funded and going to tell me what I'm allowed to think. The fact I can't even see this walled garden the second I open the main page is a nonstarter for me as a user.
- poisonborz 3y ago> Show me CONTENT True for every content platform. If the website just spews meta without showcasing the innards immediately (even just screenshots) it seems suspicious. For kbin, they link 5 instances on top, but that doesn't connect the context.
- smarx007 3y agohttps://kbin.pub https://kbin.pub is Kbin the OSS project. https://kbin.social https://kbin.social (better https://archive.is/3Gpcu https://archive.is/3Gpcu because they are quite HN-hugged ATM) is Kbin the main instance with content.

- Kiro 3y agoWhat am I looking at? It says kbin at the top but it seems to be on lemmy.ml? I don't understand this fediverse stuff.
- RobotToaster 3y agoThey seem to like removing a lot of stuff? https://kbin.social/modlog https://kbin.social/modlog
- capableweb 3y ago13 removals in the last day? That seems really tiny, but the community is also tiny so makes sense. If you've ever run a service with open registration + user generated content, you know there is a lot of stuff to clean up. This seems to be a relatively small community, so there is also little to clean up. Not sure what the ratio is though, which is more important than just counts of how many removals.
- RobotToaster 3y agoMy point was more that none of what they removed seemed particularly objectionable.
- capableweb 3y agoCould you point out some particular examples of what you think shouldn't have been removed?
- welshwelsh 3y agoThe problem is what they are removing. I'm ok with cleaning up blatant commercial spam and illegal content, but they seem to be removing comments from people who are just expressing their opinion. Not a good sign
- capableweb 3y agoWhich comments specifically are you thinking shouldn't have been removed? Just did a quick check but seems fine to me, mostly off-topic and impersonation.
- smarx007 3y agoI am not going to claim knowing the policies 100% but I guess if a subreddit (magazine in kbin's parlance) has rules "A friendly place to chat. No politics please. Don't be a dick." (https://kbin.social/m/ukcasual@lemmy.world https://kbin.social/m/ukcasual@lemmy.world), then it's fair that any links to politics get removed. And the solution is to create your own subreddit (magazine) or even host another kbin instance yourself and federate with the rest. In other words, there could be many moderation policies on a single instance.
- OJFord 3y agohttps://kbin.social https://kbin.social someone linked in another thread seems to be the straight to content site equivalent to reddit.com; kbin.pub is I suppose the 'marketing' / organising contributors & instance maintainers etc. site, whatever you want to call it.
- callmeal 3y agokbin.social Checking if the site connection is secure This check is taking longer than expected. Check your Internet connection and refresh the page if the issue persists. well, looks like it's a non-starter.
- egberts1 3y agoDitto here. Wonder why it was downvoted. Upvoted. Using Firefox iOS on iPhone.
