Bun is indeed still baking along.. Let's see how long the development team takes until Cluster is implemented.

Yes.. We have a lot of issues... Still 🙄

I'm not an anti-vaxxer.. Stop accusing me from things. Wanting to have freedom of speech doesn't make me an "antivaxxer"..

For instance Dr. Eric Berg is getting censored as well.

melroy,

That I agree.. but that is not what some doctors are saying on YouTube (like Dr. Eric Berg, while also he is getting censored by YouTube). If you can't think for yourself that is not my problem.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Even Dr. Eric Berg is getting censored. I agree with harmful information. But letting Google decide what you can see and what not in those cases are censoring. And the next steps are now easy to take. Before you know maybe your channels you like on YouTube get censored as well.

What is with all the comments about drinking bleach? of course you shouldn't drink bleach... Are you all crazy?

melroy,
melroy avatar

Do you really need Google to censor videos that you shouldn't drink bleach. I think if those people can't think for themselves and start drinking bleach then .. well.. maybe there were not that smart after all.

melroy,
melroy avatar

I should.

melroy,

Sure.. but only approving content that is inline with WHO is also dangerous. As if this single initiation has all the answers on all our health issues (answer is no). Is a lot of illness the general medical path doesn't help, because doctors don't yet know how it works. Let alone how to solve some of the issues.

I have severe Tinnitus for example, doctors have no cure of that at all. Not a single hospital I know of can thread Tinnitus.

Well then show me one video you "think" he is spreading misinformation without any disclaimers. Just sent me a video with the min:second time.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Please just give me a video where he is spreading lies. Or at least you think he is spreading lies without any disclaimer.

Sent me a link with timestamp of a video of him.

melroy,
melroy avatar

BS. You are spreading misinformation now, since you can't proof anything.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Too bad you can't provide any link. I don't trust anyone by default. That is whole point. I can think for myself what to believe or what not. I don't need YoutTube to deplatform people. I personally never heard about BRT (or any of other techniques), so I can't judge about this.

If people however got treated with Body Restoration Technique (BRT) with no side-effects but with only benefits for their health, I personally see no problem why people should not opt for this treatment.

As if the current "regular" healthcare knows everything (no). I have Tinnitus and regular healthcare cannot deal with it at all.

It's funny that this post is heavily upvoted.
Since you are implicitly saying you are not a person who does own research or can't think for themselves?

I'm not an anti-vaxxer, I'm just saying what this statement might imply. What is wrong with doing own research? You can read books, read studies, read other people and doctors research papers.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Basically all health related issues and topics, see: https://www.who.int/publications/who-guidelines

As if WHO know everything about all the health issues, the answer is no. They can't even thread Tinnitus.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Indeed that was indeed a stupid thing to say, if this person know why free speech matters.

melroy,
melroy avatar

sorry.. It was just an example.

melroy,
melroy avatar

yea well ideally... Good luck with that. You think that YouTube is able to cope with that many different entities and LHA's about whatever the 'truth' might be? Which depends on the original of the video and the author location.

melroy,

“regular” healthcare is the only legitimate healthcare

Sure, but the current healthcare doesn't has all the answers.. That was my point. In some cases or illnesses the legitimate healthcare can only say "you need to deal with it". Literally.

I can confirm all this, because: 1) I have Tinnitus which they can't thread. 2) I have a congenital heart defect, for which I had surgery as a baby. Without regular healthcare I was not here on earth...

Meaning I personally can say that the legitimate healthcare isn't bad (without it, I was dead), but at the same time it can have it's limitations. So I need to search also outside of the regular healthcare to help with my health issues.

Therefore, I can't trust WHO only or "skilled experts", because those experts sometimes also don't know it. Which is not a bad thing, I don't blame the experts. We are all human after all. But just understand that the current healthcare might not have all the answers that people need. I hope that is also a reasonable request from me.

That might be true, but then again at this moment in time the skilled experts have no answers for me.. That is the point. Maybe over 10 years. Maybe 30 years.. ? who knows.

Because it's NOT Google and Firefox not embracing WebBundles or the “Web Integrity API” standard from Google. Google want to INTRODUCE DRM on the web.
And just recently YouTube (==Google) now also have very strict medical policy, so it can only follow the WHO guidelines. Google is evil, look out. Even Dr. Eric Berg is getting censored. Look out people.

Admin of my instance seems to have gone inactive, looking to migrate to a small instance with an active admin (kbin.cafe)

I’d like to help out with decentralization, with users not all gathering in one place, so I don’t want to go to kbin.social or fedia.io. I did look at fedidb.org and the list of instances there, but it doesn’t tell me if the admin is active. I could just visit every instance listed there and check the admin’s profile for...

You can't assign admins on abandoned instances. You can only assign admins or moderators on abandoned magazines...

No worries. Since we now talk.. I activate your account manually.. Just be-aware that you can't use a password reset now.

Don't forget to donate to other contributors as well. All core developers are doing voluntary work and for free. We all try to do our best to keep the project going.

If you wish to support me as well 😉.. Can do so here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/melroy or other ways as well : https://melroy.org/thanks.html

Is KBIN dying? Srs Question: Is there any further development or support being done for Kbin.Social Keep getting the error page when trying to block users, create posts, view notifications. Been going on for weeks now. (kbin.social)

Is KBIN alive or dying, moved here from lemmy because I'm fundamentally at odds with belonging to any social media platform named after a man who owned the largest personally held collection of nazi memorabilia in the world. It's also cleaner interface, and what I thought was a simpler more all encompassing platform where I...

I have placed a donation link on the Readme page of the project in codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

Yes but no. Technically correct. But you are not interacting with linux at all when using android.

melroy,

This is just not true. Try Linux Mint for instance. It's very usable for even the regular Joe.

melroy,

Exactly

Google is forcing chrome on me?

In general there are still maybe different issues with federation. For instance lemmy constantly changes there api after software updates. Causes federation issues.
Federation protocol isn't fully standardized at all! Meaning that all platforms can do whatever they please. Mastodon did lay out the foundation of the standard. But that was mainly about posts and microblogging.

melroy,
melroy avatar

Sorry it's not yet implemented.

melroy,
melroy avatar

We have an open pull request for comment collapsing. But Ernest won't merge this until after the first kbin release I'm afraid.

melroy,
melroy avatar

No problem!

melroy,
melroy avatar

Feel free to migrate to: https://kbin.melroy.org. Disclaimer: I'm part of the core developer team.

melroy,
melroy avatar

We are aware of various federation issues and protocol changes. Every lemmy update has caused some federation issue in the past.

Too bad the activitypub protocol has no strict protocol standards. Hence all the federation issues you might observe between various platforms like mastodon, lemmy or others.

melroy,
melroy avatar

I was trying to accomplish the same thing months ago (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/235). But I think we can now even migrate to v16. Feel free to create a new PR again.
