I don’t see a way to remove myself from the magazines I moderate, but I have put in a request for my account to be deleted. I would expect that means my posts will be deleted as well.

The better option is vasalgel.

The bug report is the way to track this. Tho sometimes ernest makes posts in this magazine to share what’s happening.

Search the archives of the LeftWingMaleAdvocates subreddit. I know it’s been discussed there. But you’re right. It isn’t as straightforward as feminists present it.

A bug was filed about this issue four months ago and ernest has commented on that thread, so he’s aware of the problem. So far, no solution has been reached, which makes me as a moderator extremely demotivated. I don’t want to put effort into building a community if comments that break community rules are federated but moderation is not.

So, I post content (on average once every 3 days, despite my drop in activity this month), I engage in the comments (more than you do, if we’re counting), I moderate a community, and I file bug reports in an attempt to make this a better platform.

So yes, I am doing my part, and that does qualify me to comment on the state of Kbin. Suggesting I don’t is toxicity we don’t need here.

And pretending that Kbin is just fine won’t help this platform to become successful. And yes, despite my criticisms, I want this to be a successful Reddit replacement. But it’s struggling to become relevant, and I’m frustrated with its lack of progress.

People want stuff to read, not people to point at ‘the problem.’

People also want interesting discussions on topics they care about. I know that because for years I was a moderator of a small but active subreddit.

The m/men magazine I moderate used to be the #20 most active one on Kbin, a place you’re now proudly proclaiming m/scifi has…

I’m waiting to see if ernest’s promised next version of Kbin will actually improve things, especially on the moderation side. Otherwise I have to reconsider where to direct my efforts.

The problem is that Kbin sucks as well. For example, /m/science lacks actual moderators and gets flooded with spam on the regular. And even where there are active moderators, moderation actions often do not get federated.

I was hoping these issues would get fixed soon, but here we are, three months after the Reddit apocalypse, and Kbin is still not a fully functional platform. For example, I filed bug #1102 fifteen days ago, and this has still not been resolved. And bug #570 has been open since early July.

If Kbin wants to become and stay relevant, it needs more hands on deck.

Can you also add moderators to those magazines? I volunteered for the science mag, but have not gotten a reply. Active mods will help with your workload too.

Discuss this on the post already on this topic.

You can completely customize Gentoo Linux to be what you want it to be and slim it down to what you need.

Do any of you have such experiences in court?

I think this is a bit of a shallow take, which is why you’re getting no response so far.

I missed this before. This and your comment above violate our rule against personal attacks. Banned for one month. Repeat offenses will lead to a permaban.

I followed up with a bug report.

No. Tho I volunteered. It’s now up to @ernest.

@ernest, I am volunteering to help moderate the science magazine to free it from spam.

PSA: Defense of blackpill ideology is extremely unwelcome here.

It is not “acknowledging harsh reality”, “the unfiltered truth”, or “how the world works.” No. It’s doomer thinking, and an oversimplification and distortion of reality. Yes, physical attractiveness is important, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. There are other factors that play a role. Humans are complex beings, and you’re doing us no service by erasing that complexity and boiling everything down to one factor. One that is mostly out of one’s control. As if it’s that simple.

It leads to hopelessness, depression, and worse. We here aim to help men overcome that, and work on a better future. If you’re at cross-purposes with that, then you have no place here.

I just checked the LWMA thread, and the blatantly false claim that 80% of Japanese and Chinese men are incels is the top upvoted comment…! Oh, how far has LWMA fallen.

Seriously? By spending your time wisely. Go for a walk in nature. Go to the gym. Go read things that build you up. Remove TikTok and Reddit, and any other social media apps that fill your mind with negativity; or curate your feed so you get positive media instead of negative ones.
