What's the best way to get rid of a body... theoretically?
Own a pig farm.
Be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm!
Didn't work out for Robert Pickton, still got caught.
I give no guarantees about your ability to dodge the law.
Microwave fish at the office.
I wasn't sure it would land so thank you haha
Pigs or acid!
You gotta starve the pigs for a few days then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pissant. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggy's digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don't wanna go sifting through pig shit now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to do the job in one sitting so be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about...eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of un-cooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression: "as greedy as a pig."
kbin.social is like lemmy.world, etc.... It's another instance (though maybe/probably there are other technical differences I don't understand). I am speaking to you from kbin right now. It's magic, you see.
Kbin is a different software from Lemmy but both use activitypub and so can communicate to each other with little issue
Kbin is another federated instance on the verse just like Lemmy, it just has a different UI. I'm browsing this thread and commenting through kbin right now, we can all interact with the same posts :)
I’m on VLemmy! 👋
Another way to look at it is like different flavors or the same operating systems like Linux with kde vs gnome. Or if you’re not a computer buff, Windows 10 or Windows 11. More or less…
Also on Vlemmy 👋
Thats a good way of explaining it.
My favorite analogy is email- it doesn’t matter if you have @gmail, @outlook, or even disgusting ones like @yahoo or @hotmail, you can send and receive emails using the same protocols between any of them.
Kbin is a separate application that is like lemmy and they can communicate with each other, as in view each other's content.
Think about email in comparison to for example Facebook. On Facebook, the content and the platform are to sides of the same coin: the two cannot be separated. In email, on the other hand, the two are separate: the content (emails) is separate from the provider (Google, Protonmail, or some old laptop with an internet connection functioning as a server). Emails can be sent between the different platforms, as it is based on a protocol that exists independently of the providers.
Lemmy is the same way. In the example above, Lemmy is a piece of software you could install on your old laptop (or other people can install on hopefully more sophisticated servers) in order to communicate with other services. That's why Lemmy can be found on multiple websites (lemmy.world or beehaw.org, among others). Just like in email however, the protocol is separate: the protocol Lemmy runs on is called ActivityPub, and works with not only Lemmy, but also other software. Mastodon is the most famous; kbin is another.
Like Lemmy, kbin is a client for ActivityPub that is made to function a lot like Reddit. It is developed completely separately, but according to similar logics: I saw your message in kbin and am responding to it from there, and when I upvoted your post you recieved an upvote in your Lemmy. It's similar to if you are using Outlook and I am using Gmail: I can still send you an email and communicate effortlessly across the two services.
The difference between kbin and Lemmy is mostly in user experience. Both projects are work in progress, development is happening fast, and they have both seen an explosion in the number of users the last few days. Content spreads between both freely, so the choice between them is really mostly about user interface preferences. It will be fun to see how both projects develop.
If you look at the links by each post, you'll notice that some will reference a URL that goes off of your local instance. In Lemmy these are icons, in kbin it appears from the "more" link. Sometimes it's unclear who/where I'm interacting with and examining the URL helps me get some idea of it. In federated social media different instances often develop a different subculture, but since they can access each other you have more dimensions of interaction and how to behave.
Why does every reply prepend the username of the person you're replying to?
Also, is there a way to collapse comments?
Only if you are in the Microblog tab, since it treats every post as something more akin to a tweet. However it shouldn't show up on the Threads tab.
Also, you can't collapse comments at the moment, however the feature is being developed.
There are a lot of customizations out in the wild provided as CSS scripts to install with Stylus or JS scripts to install with a monkey plugin.
I'm using this plugin for collapsible comments everywhere right now. https://greasyfork.org/...
Cool! Thanks!
Is 42 the answer?
why do a bunch of my subscriptions show as "pending"? DId I make a mistake making an account on lemmy.world instead of something else like beehaw or kbin?
Not OP but what's the proper way to link another community, like r/NAME on reddit..?
I see people in these replies using @ but I think some people use !
Hi. Welcome to kbin. There is a bit of a learning curve. There is a bit of jank, but to be honest? You made the right call.
Star Trek was right all along!
And Gundam.
"I'm doing my part"
What's Reddit? /jk but Kbin is so nice. I am actually having conversations with people instead of just post that seem to exist in a weird void.
Same boat! The last 5 years of my Reddit usage was 100% anonymous, sign out out of any account using the Apollo app. But when I joined the fediverse, something about it got me back into the swing of posting and voting.
My last 11 years was mostly anonymous. Feels great to share ideas again.
Right? I liked reddit, but old.reddit was imperfect at best, and needed RES. New reddit was always an unusable hot mess. Kbin is like three weeks old and it's already better than both ever were.
I want to like kbin more than lemmy but their mobile UI is frustrating. Not that lemmy's is perfect either, but I can at least use Jerboa for that.

Try not to get overwhelmed by things here. There's an added layer of complexity that exists, due to the space being made up of a whole bunch of different websites, but you'll grok it in time if you just absorb things slowly.
Things are still new around here. kbin itself is still in early beta. There are kinks to work out. But everything's in active development, and things will get polished :)
Here's a fake award for your post since I'm not buying fake awards from The Flaming Alien anymore 🏆

Here's an award for your comment 🏆
Lemmies upvoting Kbinauts.
boom. eat shit spez
I think that's just the internet. I think some people just go through their feed downvoting everything.
I've noticed that every post I have looked at in the last 3 days has had exactly 1 downvote. Even if it was a really basic post that doesn't warrant judgement in any meaningful way.
I'm a Lemmy user and I'm okay with Kbin getting the majority of users, as long as we're able to federate with each other it doesn't really matter where the new people go
Speaking of that, we (lemmy peeps) are going to be able to subscribe/see kbin magazines soon, right? I know we can subscribe, but we can't search them and when we bring them up specifically by @URL in my lemmy instance, they show up as empty for me.
Will both be able to see the same content and all that because i like the feel of lemmy better
If you add the modern UI extension Lemmy is even better
Imagine complaining about which interface people choose to interact with the same content pool with. That's like the main reason the fediverse has exploded in popularity over these last few weeks. Sheesh.
I moved over a little more than a week ago and honestly the improvements here have already come a long way. I am really enjoying it and have zero issue fully replacing Reddit with the Fediverse.
Hell yeah! Welcome aboard!
oldie but goodie
You're now closer to 2050 than you are to 1990, fyi!
Hey you, shut up lol
@ramboteng Your brain cells will thank you
Welcome! Make sure to post whatever you want and comment whatever you want! :)
Ayy I also made an account. Amazing stuff! Love it
I just checked it out. It's awesome. It has reddit and twitter all packaged together.
thanks for using Leebra!
