Introducing kbin Feed Curator! An upgraded version of my 'Enough about Reddit already' script, it now allows you to add to your blacklist from kbin itself, instead of having to edit the script.

Now also includes settings, thanks to kbin-mod-options! So far the settings are 1) a toggle to completely hide blocked posts instead of displaying a placeholder message and 2) the button to open the blacklist modal.

Should I be looking at specific trackers? Usenet? Idk, I like DVD bonus features and want to know how to find them reliably

btdig and knaben are both torrent search engines, and the Internet Archive is another good place to search for hard to find videos. None of them turned up Transexual Menace, but they did find Rurangi.

The binhex container has worked well for me on Unraid.

Seems like you didn't really understand my point. Meta is very averse to, for example, any NSFW content, or using words that aren't G-rated to talk about other people. I do not think there will be a slow creep of Meta federating with server by server, because I do not think 99% of servers are willing to abide by those restrictions. If you want me to make up numbers, I think Meta will federate with 10 servers, at most, and that's it.
The other part of the equation, from what I understand, is authorized fetch. If servers implement that, that prevents Threads from accessing their content from a middle-man server if defederated.

So no, I don't want to federate with them. But I also think that writing off kbin because Ernest hasn't already defederated is a premature, knee-jerk reaction.

Yep, and if Threads is enforcing the same TOS as Instagram, there’s no way that Meta is going to open the doors to the fediverse in general. I expect that when Meta does enable federation, it will be with a small number of vetted servers that agree to follow their TOS as well.
I understand people’s concerns with Threads, and don’t want to touch it with a ten foot pole myself, but a lot of the reaction posts are sensationalized.

I thought we defederated with nsfw because of technical issues with nsfw images not being blurred properly, not the rules issue?

Good thing I didn't get Outer Worlds or Merchant of the Skies in the sale!

The new Threads platform is designed to import data from Instagram, including behavioural and advertising information.

In its US format, the platform tells users that it will collect a wide variety of data from users, including health, financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information.

In the EU, the Irish regulator has prevented Meta from launching advertising services on Whatsapp that uses data from Facebook or Instagram. The tech giant is allowed to mingle the two data streams in the US, which has weaker privacy laws.

It is unclear when, or if, Meta will launch Threads in Ireland and the EU. A spokesperson for Meta was unavailable to comment on the matter.

However, it is understood that the DPC has not actively blocked the service. Instead, the tech giant has not yet prepared the service for a European launch outside the UK, which is not fully governed by GDPR or EU privacy rules.

I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.

The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!

Oh another one I remembered: Magical Diary Horse Hall (and the sequel Wolf Hall) - absolutely loved the first but never got around to playing Wolf Hall

Funny, I was just thinking about this today as I was going through my Steam wishlist. I don't even know what to call the genre but I want more of it. Haven't heard of exocolonist before, so I'll check that out. The only other one I can think of right now is Growing Up (Steam link), but that one is kind of shallow and not great for replayability.

And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts...
