If you see this username on other instances, it’s almost certainly me on an alt. Kbin.social is my main home.

  • Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

    e.g. I’m a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda…died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

    Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

    We building this shit up.





  • “Interpol provides investigative support, expertise and training to law enforcement worldwide, focusing on three major areas of transnational crime: terrorism, cybercrime and organized crime. Its broad mandate covers virtually every kind of crime, including crimes against humanity, child pornography, drug trafficking and production, political corruption, intellectual property infringement, as well as white-collar crime. The agency also facilitates cooperation among national law enforcement institutions through criminal databases and communications networks. Contrary to popular belief, Interpol is itself not a law enforcement agency.”

  • Technology and piracy always will find a way. Even if Plex goes tits up, we have options with Jellyfin and Emby. Sharing may not be great or even possible in some or all circumstances, but I’m sure if Plex shuts down today they’ll go into overdrive to bring things more up to speed since there’ll be a real need for it. If not, someone else will come up with something to replace it, or something new.

    Hell only reason I started using Plex in the first place was because I was using Universal Media Server and was tired of putting up with it’s shit. Only reason I was on that was cause I was tired of Playstation Media Server beforehand, and if I hadn’t smoked my brain cells away I’d tell you the same thing for whatever I used before that too lmao. We’ll always find new ways to pirate, and to share that content. Plex just became so commonplace cause it’s so damned easy and (…mostly…) works well.
