@Funkymatt You want something that tells people that doing a U-Turn is a normal thing to do with a car?
Can you send it to @curiosityLynx or curiosityLynx on Reddit (haven’t deleted it yet because I want to make sure to edit my comments as subreddits go public again)? kbin doesn’t have private messages yet.
If you do move to tildes, would you mind sending me an invite?
https://kbin.social/d/lemdro.id also gives a 404.
Just checked if lemdro.id possibly defederated kbin.social, but that’s not the case. Could be that they have the same bug lemmy.ml had that blocks all requests from kbin instances.
Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It’s not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren’t counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.
I’m sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It’s called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone’s profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn’t being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.
[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that’s a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]
Right-clicked on the link, copied link, went to archive.org, pasted link into wayback machine, selected most recent (in this case only) snapshot.
As you can imagine, it doesn’t work if archive.org hasn’t archived the link yet.
You guys confused me because I couldn’t see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn’t have the concept of a display name, only usernames.
and even emojis (as you can see with mine).
Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don’t have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.
Edit: It appears kbin shows people’s usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.
They won’t be getting familiar with the fediverse though. They’ll be getting familiar with Meta/Threads, as happened with Google Talk and XMPP.
@PlutoniumAcid Use F1 for keybindings of your own choosing. Unlike with NumLock, that actually works regardless of what kind of keyboard it is.
Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/
If you don’t know how to read IPA, roughly “SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler”
Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it’s not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be “Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden”, which translates to “people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)”.

There is not a single word that’s universal to all languages.
Even if there had ever been one at some point, there are languages that have/had word retirement as part of the culture speaking it: If a word is used as someone’s name and that person dies, that word is now taboo and a new word is needed to refer to what the old word stood for.
Conlanging, especially by laypeople, often explicitly makes up most or all of its vocabulary from scratch or uses cyphers to make the connection invisible. I wouldn’t be surprised if a people made up their own secret language from scratch, maybe initially with very similar grammar, that developed into a native language for a community.
Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like “fart”, use a two part word that rhymes with it, like “raspberry tart”, then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with “raspberry” meaning “fart” and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.
Sign languages are languages as well, and in multiple instances developed from the ground up without influence from the surrounding spoken languages.
I should have edited my comment. What doesn’t work yet is sending a private message to someone on another instance.
