They’ll never have the full Mastodon functionality

Until they do, my only interaction with Threads will be to follow Biden on kbin.

Thanks! It works.

They don’t have the entire Mastodon functionality yet but it is awesome we can follow Biden on Mastodon.

If that’s the case I will go to Mastodon. But I would love to follow Biden on kbin.

How do you do that?

King Charles III isn’t my king either. Still a king though. And doing a much better job than King Charles I

And some usenet servers too while they are at it.

Do you know how to do this?

Can anyone tell me how I can follow President Biden from kbin.social?

Can you explain how you know this link path to someone who doesn’t?

The only reason I use WordPress is for the free web hosting. WordPress itself is shit. Things that would be very easy in real html and javascript are hard in WordPress.

You can post to their communities from any instance. They have no way to enforce “ban evasion” so it is ridiculous they are even using that term.

The only difference between a citizen and a serf is the right of ownership.

Nope. Serfs were forbidden from moving out of where they lived.

If the community is on kbin that the kbin mod removes the spam. If the community is on lemmy instance than mod on lemmy instance removes spam.

Isn’t that how it works? The mod on the community instances removes the spam and then it gets removed on all sites right?

Likewise, mods on lemmy and kbin might lock comments on a post that’s getting toxic, but that lock doesn’t carry over to kbin, and they can’t do anything about it.

Wouldn’t a lock on a thread on that community’s site prevent any new comments from coming back to that site over the fediverse?

but it seems to be a nightmare to moderate across platforms and instances,

Nobody needs to moderate across platforms and instances. Just moderate your own community, on your own site. Power is decentralized by design.

Yes but phone apps that make it easy to open a trading account are relatively new.

Hell, internet stock trading had been a thing since before zoomers even existed… it’s been around for almost 30 years

That’s true, although calling in your order instead wasn’t much trouble. However opening a brokerage account was much more difficult. You had to call the brokerage to have them mail the forms to you, fill out the several page form, and then take the forms to the local brokerage office, if you were lucky enough to have a local brokerage office. Sometimes you also had to have the forms notorized.

Just found out it’s possible to ban users

It’s not, really. Just make a different account. The key advantage of fediverse is that you can never be banned from a group and have it stick.

if the shop is 10 km away vs 30 km away

It’s nothing at all like that. The moon is 384 megameters away. Mars is 54000 to 150000 megameters away, depending on orbits.

So it would be like 384 meters vs 54-150 kilometers.

Escaping the gravity well on the moon is also much cheaper.

[In terms of infrastructure and accessibility, it’s really no contest. The Moon is closer, always has a view of Earth, can exchange signals and deliverables hundreds of times more quickly than can be exchanged between Earth and Mars, and is easier to land on and take off from. Certain infrastructure could be easily shared between the Earth and the Moon, such as the internet, whereas Mars would likely, due to its remote nature, need its own standalone infrastructure.]

But they are both far enough away that is doesn’t really matter.

The difference is huge. The moon is practically right next door to us (384 megameters). Mars closest point to Earth is 54000 megameters.

It’s like having a friend living 384 meters down the road vs living 54-150 kilometers away.

500,000 mph is 800,000 kilometers/hour or 800 megameters/hour. So it could reach the moon (384 megameters) in under 30 minutes. It could reach Mars in 68 hours or less than 3 days when Mars is closest to Earth (54600 megameters).
