So maybe this is where that critical thinking comes in, if you set out to view other instances, don’t be afraid if you just happen upon other instances
I didn’t set out to view other instances. The default view of kbin is the All page. It was on page 1, immediately join opening. Should I avoid logging in?
It’s crazy how annoyed you are about the federated experience while on a federated site. Not everyone is going to conform to how you/your instance wants to operate.
It’s the landing page of Kbin by default. I cannot change it.
I don’t think I’ve even advocated for the person to specifically include the instances in post titles; just that identifying it is helpful when asked. Instead, dude above went off calling people functionally dumb for asking.
that’s the argument for that asking people posting to the community about sh.itjust.works to state specifically that they are talking about sh.itjust.works is silly. why is your convenience in regards to an idiosynchrocy with your chosen platform more important than everyone elses community experience?

That isn’t federated experience tho. No one on a closed platform asks for identification of where stuff was posted from; by default, it’s the closed platform. That isn’t how federation works; the number of sources/groups is virtually endless.
But nah, go on. Foster more good-will by getting upset at others for asking the context of a post on federated sites. Clearly y’all are a welcoming bunch.
What are you talking about? The context is the community the post is posted into. The federated experience is that you explore any posts, threads, or communities from any instance. If I have a community called [email protected], do you want me to post “New table-top news!” in every single post title just to make it clear? This post was posted to a community for discussing sh.itjust.works. If your app isn’t showing you that information, that’s a bug, not an issue with posters. Imagine if every post didn’t show what community it was from, what poster posted it, or what it was in response to, but only if you used a particular app. Would you get huffy at other users for not copy and pasting every comment they were replying to into their own comment because you needed to ask for the context and provenance from every user directly? I’m sorry if the people in the community for discussing sh.itjust.works are a little annoyed that there’s a huge controversy at a large number of users from one particular instance not knowing it wsa for discussing sh.itjust.works because kbin doesn’t show what communities posts come from. But it’s a very active community, and putting “In regards to sh.itjust.works:” in every title would be like if you wanted to required every post to [email protected] be labeld “[News]”
Yet this is a post from another instance yes?

“Didn’t set out to view other instances”
“browsed the all page”
What. What’d you think you’d find there?
do agree with the last point, not everyone is gonna change to fit YOUR needs
