  • Hello from my Kbin account!

    I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

    While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.



  • I think what we learned with the Silicon Valley Bank disaster is that VCs are absolute lemmings that blindly follow each other in a wild panic. Slashing your valuations by almost 50% surely will lead to the other investors also following. Which most likely will lead to further enshittification for Discord and Reddit as well. Very curious when thats going to start for Discord.
