I still have coins. Do you have any advice on how to use them? Is there any word out there about it?
Didn’t you create your own sub to spam?
Don’t flood defaults subs with irrelevant posts, this is not reddit here.
Create your own sub if you want to spam.
And while Bluesky eventually dealt with the issue,
There were complaints so they patched the system. Again, another nothinburger… Always coming from the same poster.
“40 minutes after it was reported, the account was taken down, and the code that allowed this to occur was patched.”
Nothingburger. Stop spamming please. This has nothing to do with tech. You cannot just post anything you want and ask people to leave if they are not happy.
Told ya.
Now that the insurance have lifted the taboo of stopping insuring people for climatic reason you will see more of those action everywhere.
Meta won’t federate anyone. They don’t want to host illegal content on their servers, that would be an absolute PR disaster for them. And this is what will happen if they federate with a random instance. Even clean instances will want to play tricks on Meta if federated.
They are the prototype of the mono instance federation. They want control. They want to attract the people leaving Twitter. I don’t think they care about us, what they want to avoid is that our instances become too big and start to offer an alternative.
Okay, I’ve been staying out of this but now I just have to:
What an entry!
what kind of extraordinary qualifications do you have to unilaterally decide which votes are valid and which are not? Is it as simple as any vote that disagrees with you is automatically “bullshit”?
I’m talking about very factual points: the usage of the tool that we are building now. Many of us have migrated because of the flaws of other media platforms.
Your position about “downvote” is like expression a feeling. For other people like me it’s very factual. That’s part of what I wanted to establish. It emotions vs facts all over again. The reaction I had were mostly based on feeling. Just like the content I’m seeing spammed here. Ragebait.
Have you considered that people are just downvoting you and moving on because they feel that the flaws in your arguments are apparent enough that they can just click the down arrow without having to type a whole essay about it?
And I gave them an opportunity to answer with arguments. That was the point. If they have such a big reason to downvote then let’s go and say why. And the result is poof… there was not much except feelings. This magazine is turning into a collection of ragebait. And now one of the default magazine of the alternative to reddit has fallen into the same trap that reddit laid to us: ragebait content. I wouldn’t care if is was posted into USPolitics or politicus, but news, what, the whole planet???
I expected much better from the first wave of people who left reddit. In the end they just want more of the same ragebait.
And I know exactly what you are all going to say. “then go away if you don’t like it”. Yes, I don’t like it, that’s why I left reddit. I couldn’t care less about your political shitshow non-stop circus which leaked thorough all the subs. You think people care about your senators killing a dog with their car? The people posting other news are now thrown down the frontpage so we can make more space for the latest Trumpstunt. And now you are getting out of the wood because you had too much! What a superhero you are.
Doing things like calling out someone’s post history or making a whiney edit about the people downvoting you are also reddit things. And that’s the kind of behaviour you’re exhibiting right here. You’re being close minded and demanding that other people cater to your needs.
I’m not whining, I’m calling people out on their bullshit votes. @news is turning into political trash and you don’t seem to care.
Just like Americans shouldn’t only concern themselves with their news, you too shouldn’t only close yourself off and only care about your news. And if you don’t like it, unsubscribe yourself.
I’m not closed, I already posted about foreign countries. And if you are not happy with people calling you out on your bullshit then go back to reddit where you can downvote incognito.
You can turn this place to shit if you want to but I won’t remain quiet about it, dude…
You asked why you were downvoted. It’s because of your arrogant attitude and trolling.
You are the troll here, so change your tone: “Don’t forget me too! 🤣”
You asked why anyone outside the US should care what happens in the US.
No, you read it wrong. I specifically talked about the nature of the post which was political. We already have magazines for politics, specially the US one, but the nature of the problem is politics seen as news. The US politics is and endless shitshow which doesn’t qualify as news anymore. Breaking news! Trump called AOC FAT!
The answer is very simple. If the US experiences a collapse of some kind (which it might), it will have a profoundly negative effect on the value of currencies worldwide, including the EUR and GBP. So, no matter how much you hate it, the value of your currency is affected by the value of ours.
That must be the most ridiculous argument I’ve read so far. Look at this news that I just picked from the news magazine:
The Supreme Court will decide if abusive spouses have a right to own guns (vox.com)
Girlparts
The world is shaking! Suspense! Good thing that I’ve been informed about this one.
That’s just one reason why you should care about the rise of conservatism and how it harms the U.S.
Keep it for @USpolitics
you can use https://ground.news to find foreign news in english so you can share them easily. Sorted by quality and political orientation.

Cambodia ruling party victory a sure bet as campaigning begins for general election
which gives another point of view leaning right, from Australia.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has launched his ruling party’s campaign for re-election in a poll that has been criticised as a sham after the main opposition party was prevented from running.
But of course if you all want to share what brand of cereals Donald Trump had for breakfast then please be my guest and post it as NEWS. But the best place to do it is reddit.
Still, my opinion is the only one justified. Read the comments, see by yourself. I gave a chance to anyone who downvoted me to voice his opinion and all I saw was miss and miss.
And this magazine is @news.
Why don’t YOU take your content and publish it into the magazine that was designed for it in the first place?
I will tell you: popularity! You don’t want to read USpolitics because it’s not popular, you want the buzz
Also, if you were a little bit coherent with what you said, you would agree with me. You said:
I’m not a refugee but I care that the Greek government effectively let hundreds die rather than assist them.
I’m not French but I am interested in the riots happening there.
I’m not Russian, Ukrainian, or even European but I want to know what is happening with the occupation of Ukraine, the coup attempt, and what other countries are doing to ensure the Russia doesn’t violate NATO and the repercussions if they do.
So you pretend to care about what happens outside of the USA, but look at the results on news:
Zelensky, 5 upvotes
Uruguay, 3 upvotes
Sweden, 3 upvotes
Cambodia, 2 upvotes.
Israel 7
China 8
Australia 5
Germany 8
Scotland 7
uk 9
Colombia 5
meanwhile, prostitution in Maine 80
supreme court total around 500
See? This is american redditors pushing their political content in the news feed and pushing the content you wanted to see down the frontpage. What do you think of this?
And the news about Ukraine, France, Sweden, Uruguay, Cambodia, Australia are in the single digits. So kbin is turning into reddit. In less than 3 weeks we are back at square one. And this is without the influx of the people who will be pushed away from reddit on July.
It was cool while it lasted.
Downvoting and running away was a reddit thing, now you are accountable for your downvotes.
I have the maturity to ask for answer when people react to what I say. My question about sorting posts out of @news and moving them to @USpolitics is perfectly legitimate. I’m glad that some people took the time to answer so we can have a discussion, but so far among the handful of people who had the courage to put up a written argument I’ve read nothing convincing me that this post has its place in @news rather than in politics.
If all you want is a copy of reddit then please go back to reddit.You will have a barrage of US political news all day long.
You need to take some time to consider your own response and whether or not that’s something WE want on the fediverse. You can just as easily be blocked too, you know.
Block me, be my guest, at least you won’t be able to downvote me on sight anymore.
I had not realized that @news was specifically for European news?
There is a whole world out there. Right now @new is around 50% US. How is it a good thing? Look at this from a non US perspective. You open your news feed and nearly half of it is about US politicians doing the political dance.
If you have political news to post, please post them at least in a political magazine, not in news.
Lately our supreme court has been behaving very much like bought-and-paid-for politicians, and that should be concerning to all Americans.
This is not news, everyone around the planet know that your politicians are sold to the richest people. Again, keep it into political magazines, or we will be flooded.
Do you really want US politics to flood each sub like what happened on reddit?
Find a mostly European instance. Problem solved.
Americans are desperately trying to globalize their concerns everywhere.
