prevent microblogs from federating to a magazine
I didn’t even know this was a thing, but definitely sounds like it needs looking in to as well.
Looks like I’ve finally found a use for my extensive but mostly out of date meme collection lol. Will try my best to add image descriptions where I can!
Have started my own magazine as to not spam others: @my_mouldy_memes
See @my_mouldy_memes on blahaj for backup

Thanks for this info, I guess it’s good to know it’s on the to do list, but I completely agree, since realising this my motivation to post, knowing my moderation doesn’t have any effect on a large chunk of users, has dropped significantly…
Is there a place to check for updates on this, is the post you shared it?
Thanks for explaining, but wow, that’s really unfortunate and seems like something that needs addressing, especially since they’re the biggest instance.
I thought the whole point was to have the freedom to associate and disassociate with the content of our choosing?
Is there a way to know if/when this is fixed? Because I honestly don’t feel comfortable posting the content I do to my target audience if I can’t properly keep the trash out.
Ok thanks, but that’s not really what I was asking about
Thanks, I can still see the posts, but when I tried opening the link right after posting it wouldn’t load, but it is now, but the posts still have no thmbnail and I don’t know if it loads for others so I just assume not… All very strange…
Nope, still the same error. Good suggestion though!
Interesting! Let me try
Ok, so trying to post THIS op I got that same error, refreshed and tried again and again the error but on my profile it showed as posted twice but somehow I had no problem deleting THAT duplicate so why can’t I delete those on my own magazine? Strange
Except the system isn’t failing because it isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed.
Yes, well said!
I do the same (block/ban), the only reason I noticed them was because I caught a glimpse of the “active users” in my magazine and recognised the cat, and mostly was surprised and disappointed to see them still around…
Thanks for the link!
Definitely appreciate how busy ernest is and his past quick responses to bigotry, which is probably why I’m a little surprised that the TERF magazine has been up for as long as it has, and with as many people complaining.
It’d just be good to know it’s on his to do list…
Well said
Ok good to know others have also raised concerns, I know ernest and those helping run the site are already busy with a million other things, I just hope this is one of them.
I’d like to thank the folks who invested their time in providing some really great answers, and also to point out how clearly uninterested the trolls were in actually understanding the meme, since they all seem to have vanished now they can no longer feign ignorance.
Says the white person who upvoted pretty much every single comment opposing it (sorry, pretending to misunderstand).
You’re the equivalent of an incel calling any man capable of respectful interaction with a woman a white knight (which they do not because they want to be able to respectfully interact, but because they see respet as transactional).
As always, once you peel back the pseudo intellectual bullshit, it’s projection all the way down.
That’s some great info, thanks for looking in to it for me! And I had no idea I could make requests!
I feel like the kind folks running kbin have enough to deal with (and I don’t have the IT knowledge to know how much work something like that will take), so I feel bad adding to their list, but if it’s an idea others would like too maybe it’s worth mentioning!
Hey, thanks for replying!
I have put it in the rules,and hopefully people will respect that, but when I’d briefly tried running the magazine/collection on blahaj, there was an actual toggle to stop anyone but mods from posting and I was wondering if such a thing does/could exist on kbin too, because it would be really helpful!
Thanks for the recommendation, I like kbin too and would rather just be here. If I can’t give this (kbin) user proper mod tools on the blahaj collection via the kbin interface, beyond just posting to it, I’d rather just cut my losses and start again on kbin
E: basically I didn’t think through what I was doing this morning and now I have a little mess to clean up lol
Ok, thanks! What’s ernest’s magazine called? I’ll definitely subscribe to that, and keep an eye on the bug report.
