Hello members of the Windows Insiders magazine,
After much contemplation, I have made the decision to migrate this magazine, in addition to the other magazines I moderate, to Mbin.
kbin.social is clearly no longer under active development, and in addition to suffering from several technical problems, kbin.social is also suffering from a huge spam problem. As such, from the perspective of both a user of Kbin and a moderator of several magazines, I believe the best way to move forward is to migrate these magazines over to Mbin.
This magazine will be moving over to kbin.run at @windowsinsiders
I will continue to check in over here occasionally for the next few weeks, but otherwise from here on out this magazine is considered inactive and will not be fully moderated. Going forward, any new threads or discussions should instead be posted in the new magazine.
Of course if you don’t want to move your account to a different instance, you absolutely do not have to! That’s the beauty of federated social media and ActivityPub. All you have to do is subscribe to the new magazine at @windowsinsiders and continue on as usual!
Thanks for all the discussions and contributions y’all have made in these magazines, and I hope to see you over there!
Just saw the convo about the mention thing. At the moment, it’s a known issue. Something we’ll have to fix eventually. Mastodon seems to use
tag
field with keys liketype: mention, username: x
to signify who to actually notify. /kbin and Mbin do seem to parse the body text instead, so we’ll probably want to fix it to be specific and not rely on the flaky body text parsing
