I would’ve, or rather had at the time of its creation, fully expected it to shut down either way. Because that’s kinda been the trend with most new Mozilla products from before the new CEO anyway.
Fediverse is worse than Reddit. Mod abuse, admin abuse, disinformation and people circle jerking each other off like they have it all figured out.

Because Arch users would’ve shunned me for asking for support when I don’t use literal Arch.
I’m specifically talking about the EOS forum, which was just dicks throwing insults towards me having a support request and the admins consequently closing the thread and hiding it, telling me to make a new one if I still need support.
Can’t recommend EOS. Awful community when something breaks. Definitely not something for people coming from Windows.
Ubuntu’s packet manager Apt was already kind of awful in many ways, especially with its PPA hell. But them adding Snap packages somehow managed to make them reach even new levels of awful.
I think retaliatory downvotes happen either way if you’re in an argument. Same with report abuse, which, if it happens to a high degree, would be the moderator’s responsibility to ban the perpetrator (reports here are not anonymous like they were on Reddit).
Also, if there’s someone with an abusive mind, they can easily use another instance that shows Activity to identify downvoters. The vote is public either way for federation purposes, they’re just hidden from certain instances - at least on the user level, but they’re still there technically.
Fedia hiding the activity is one of those things that I kinda dislike, as it was an easy way to detect certain trolls.
Just check the reviews, or the permissions.
That one is scummy as hell.
I think you want to work on your reading comprehension. The topic is about politically problematic mbin instances, not how mbin works.
Laws of course differ from country to country but generally if it is legally publicly available then no, it at best violates their EULA or something if you scrap such data. A company trying to prevent direct downloads cannot really charge you for you finding ways around that, because from a technical point of view the data was already cached onto your PC anyway.
As a tip, use the browsers F12 console’s Network tab, instead of inspect element. For videos you may also try the absolute right click addon. It breaks the video player controls when enabled but often you can just right click save video if it isn’t timed out and you can also enable regular controls via right click show controls. Tools like JDownloader2 can also often scrap various files but the former methods may work better.
I would not risk it if you’re at risk of getting kicked out or something, especially if your host country is stricter on that type of content. Just join one of the existing instances and subscribe to whatever Lemmy communities you want to see federated with it.
I’m quite sensitive to Tankies and seen some other Lemmy instances that seem problematic but I have not noticed any mbin instances standing out in any way. But all mbin instances combined are just a few thousand users at best, so it might just be too few users to even make an impact if there was a specific Tankie instance.
Mbin is a community fork of Kbin. Even while Kbin was still a thing it was already much faster in making changes & additions than Kbin and by now Kbin & Kbin.social is basically dead.
NSFW / 18+ tags are usually used for nudity, sexual content, or gore. So, things you either don’t want or can’t look at. Using them for just news articles on violent crimes (that don’t show graphic images) or even things like swear words is excessive and unnecessary and ultimately degrades the tags meaning.
Because nuclear storage sites need to be safe and understood for thousands of years to come, even if civilization falls.
Based on this article from 2009 it is only 230 years based on the consumption rate at that point in time, which since then obviously just went up massively.
A huge issue with nuclear, aside from its cost and long time to build, is the fact that nations focusing on nuclear energy do not actually build a whole lot of renewables.
Edit: Also, a lot of uranium reserves are in Russia.
Or what the lifetime of said waste is, and how much of it accumulates due to there just being a huge fucking amount of households.
How about we just deduct all EU funds to Hungary and write down their debt for when they’re sane again?
