If a Kbin member requests deletion of their personal account and they happen to be a community owner, would ownership of that community default to the moderator with the next-longest tenure? That’s how it worked at the bad place, is it the same way here?

Not sure, but account deletion is a manual process here. I suspect what actually happens is that the magazine is tranferred to the default owner / first admin account. On kbin.social that would be ernest.

See for example https://kbin.social/m/trans - a sub with few threads. I think the original owner successfully requested account deletion which is why that sub is owned by ernest now.

How long does account deletion normally take after the deletion is requested?

Not sure of the historical average time. It’s a manual process though so it will take some time for the admins to get to it.

Also, do the posts get nuked along with the account, or do they remain on Kbin?

I saw an example of this some months ago. It seems like the posts do get nuked, though with recent updates I’m not 100% certain that this is still the case. Again see /m/trans - most likely it was one of those subs where most of the threads were started by the owner posting, so when the owner’s account was deleted, so to did those threads and posts.

Actually it’s worse than this - as the entire thread is gone, including other commenters’ replies.

Also, specific to the role of Speaker, he’s disqualified due to having been indicted of felonies with a term of more than two years.

I think the service charge bit, that is widespread as an alternative to tipping in Europe, makes a lot of sense in general.

Key word in the above sentence is: alternative

I prefer the interpretation where BIN = Buy It Now. So get into kbin now, basically.

I’m on kbin too and I can see the alt text in the raw HTML:

However, my browser isn’t showing me the alt text in the tooltip.

I mean maybe that’s the plan. He tried to back out of buying Twitter because he knew it would hurt him - now he’s trying to extract as much wealth as possible from Twitter before making it self-destruct, so he at least breaks even and can pay all that debt back without taking any losses himself.

Talk about out of touch.

I’m not too worried either way. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/38559/Killing-a-giant-Reddit - basically whatever happens, happens, and just by being here and not there, the end will probably be accomplished given due time.

Actually I’m skeptical about this. There were some other posts pointing out huge upvotes happening during the blackout, and others noticing a surge of bot followers appearing.

So I’m not sure that I trust those numbers at this point.

The other point is - it’s too soon to tell. But if advertisers and investors start having second thoughts about Reddit then that hurts the IPO.

The key isn’t in how many subs come back or how many folks return. It’s about getting Reddit’s attention by affecting what they care about most so that they have to start listening to their users again.

Too soon to tell, but that just means that at this point in time, it’s not a failure. Have hope!

By that counter more subs chose to stay dark than go public again.
