I don’t think you can do microblogging like on mbin, but I think you can directly write and reply to Mastodon users, and posts with hashtags should also be able to be found by Mastodon users if they look for them. I don’t think Lemmy threads have a hashtag field like mbin either though, so you would have to manually type them out when making a new thread.

Yeah. FOMO and nostalgia got me, and some people saying Blizzard definitely has learned… But D4 was the last straw for me.

Morons.

Still the best one out of those 3 named. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s almost like the whole concept of gamepass was already sketchy as hell. This should have been really no surprise at all, but people kept making excuses for it.

I think retaliatory downvotes happen either way if you’re in an argument. Same with report abuse, which, if it happens to a high degree, would be the moderator’s responsibility to ban the perpetrator (reports here are not anonymous like they were on Reddit).

Also, if there’s someone with an abusive mind, they can easily use another instance that shows Activity to identify downvoters. The vote is public either way for federation purposes, they’re just hidden from certain instances - at least on the user level, but they’re still there technically.

Fedia hiding the activity is one of those things that I kinda dislike, as it was an easy way to detect certain trolls.

Just check the reviews, or the permissions.

That one is scummy as hell.

I think you want to work on your reading comprehension. The topic is about politically problematic mbin instances, not how mbin works.

Laws of course differ from country to country but generally if it is legally publicly available then no, it at best violates their EULA or something if you scrap such data. A company trying to prevent direct downloads cannot really charge you for you finding ways around that, because from a technical point of view the data was already cached onto your PC anyway.

As a tip, use the browsers F12 console’s Network tab, instead of inspect element. For videos you may also try the absolute right click addon. It breaks the video player controls when enabled but often you can just right click save video if it isn’t timed out and you can also enable regular controls via right click show controls. Tools like JDownloader2 can also often scrap various files but the former methods may work better.

I would not risk it if you’re at risk of getting kicked out or something, especially if your host country is stricter on that type of content. Just join one of the existing instances and subscribe to whatever Lemmy communities you want to see federated with it.

I’m quite sensitive to Tankies and seen some other Lemmy instances that seem problematic but I have not noticed any mbin instances standing out in any way. But all mbin instances combined are just a few thousand users at best, so it might just be too few users to even make an impact if there was a specific Tankie instance.

Mbin is a community fork of Kbin. Even while Kbin was still a thing it was already much faster in making changes & additions than Kbin and by now Kbin & Kbin.social is basically dead.

Unfortunately that’s the type of shit where publicly shaming on Twatter is likely a more effective option.

I don’t think so, it’s just what I’m more familiar with and I usually try to avoid apt’s PPA hell as much as I can. But maybe I should try some others, as I couldn’t get Mullvad to run either yet. :/

Text gen web ui I tried quite a while before I went to koboldcpp on my previous distro and I could not get that to run without crashing whenever I tried to generate anything. Sillytavern is my standard frontend that I use, so any text gen software should inherently compatible with that anyway.

6650 XT. Honestly no idea. When I run make LLAMA_HIPBLAS=1 GPU_TARGETS=gfx1032 -j$(nproc) in the Fedora distrobox on kobolcpp it throws a bunch of

fatal error: 'hip/hip_fp16.h' file not found
   36 | #include <hip/hip_fp16.h>

errors and koboldcpp does not give an option to use Vulkan.

It’s like floating tabs in Firefox, which I still hate to the bone.

They had some issues with their downloader in the past but that thing has been canned a long time ago. It’s not a great site but it isn’t malware.

and you either pass your turn and let her do it to you

OR WHAT?!

This is perhaps one of the most vile games I’ve ever played and quickly uninstalled…

Uh-huh… It’s okay dude. No need to be ashamed.
