The concept of needing to register copyright does not exist in most countries. In many countries you just have it and you can enforce it.

Fediverse servers do exist outside of the USA so this is relevant for people who run those servers.

I generate a unique key pair (or token) for each service that I want to access from the host machine. I see no issue with storing that dedicated private key locally in plaintext (obviously in a folder where only the required user can read it and I except it from backup and versioning). I use one dedicated user per externally accessible service.

Should the machine itself become compromised this would indicate that my personal master key and master password have been compromised or someone gained physical access. That would require me to restart from a blank page anyways.

No, click on the “more” button under each post -> activity -> favorites tab.

You’re right, thanks for the info. I don’t mind it, but good to know.

Funny, Kbin’s UI design and better performant feel were major reasons why I switched over from Lemmy. It reminded me of old.reddit.com, which I feel familiar with. Shows that it might be a matter of personal taste. Or maybe you experienced a different kbin design (there are still major updates every week, the last one just yesterday).

One additional point that also influenced my personal choice was the political stance of the Lemmy developers (edit: removed my reference to these rumors, because now I‘m uncertain how much of it was true). However, that might not be that big of an issue in the open source environment than it might appear at first.

Mastodon integration feels unpolished, but I‘d rather have it than not have it.

I think that voting on kbin is private now, by the way. Only boosting (retweet) is not private. (Edit: I was wrong. See below.)
