MODERATORS
would be nice if you could actually like filter keywords, users, and instances, you know, like a real grown up adult social media website, like mastodon. one of the main things lemmy/kbin lacks is the ability to filter and truly block. until they code this in place, this is beta beta
They are very beta beta. Lemmy is still 0.X.Y and v1 is still far away. kbin seems dead as the author is dealing with personal issues and another fork has already been started https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin
Go contribute then! The beauty of FOSS.
why are you so touchy?
Anyone who is posting an ad for something but not paying the instance any ad-price is stealing advertising. Ads for salient things might be acceptable, like an ad for a text editor in a programming forum, but non-salient ads should be quickly deleted, no one is here to buy into a time-share, pick up on the latest deals from China, or to get the latest snake-oil.
