DC is a bit of an oddity, it's not a state, so there's no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there's a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.

Celebrities don't always cost much, you have to remember that those high rates they get paid are optional, there's a base pay for actors, and they can take that rather than their typical high pay if'n they want. Throw in that in a lot of ways voice acting is easier (no costumes, make up, no standing around for a scene to be set up, etc), and it's effectively a quick and easy buck for actors.

I've tried it a couple times, it's neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I've also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that's reliable, all the one's I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they're calling it now, that's an active fork.

 

Trying both Lemmy and Kbin at the same time and have set up test groups on both.

So, in general, I think I like the Kbin interface a slight bit more, but both, especially Kbin, could use better access to your subscribe magazines, I miss Reddit's drop down list, but at the very least, Kbin needs to make subscriptions easier to access rather than hiding it in a menu.

Now, to the testing. So far we've only done images, and Kbin is a lot better than Lemmy. I haven't been able to get Lemmy to do inline images, but here? Hardest thing was figuring out what code it parses as IMGBB offers BBCode and HTML. Not only does the HTML work perfectly, thumbnails work, clicking takes you to the full sized image. Doesn't open in a new tab, but that's minor.

Why is this a big deal? I'm thinking of replacing my Mastodon instance with Kbin or Lemmy, and maybe even replacing my Friendica, and inline images are important for that. Give me a feed reader, an Android app and an easy sharing option, and Kbin will be perfect, though it is decent already.

Oh, and speaking of the test magazine, if'n y'all want to try any posting options, feel free to use it.

Does the old Google docs trick work? Promote a user to Admin, then remove yourself, now it's theirs.
