I just realized I also pinged a bunch of other people in this reply chain, didn't notice it had automatically put all the usernames in at the bottom. Wonder if there's a way to disable that, seems unnecessary.

@primalmotion so... the lemmy.antisocial.ly part of your username is your own instance that you made. And I can ping you or reply to you by writing it as @primalmotion. Interesting. My log in credentials for kbin.social will not transfer to another instance like lemmy.world, though, will it?
@Barbarian So I have a few questions, being new to all this:
-
Seemingly I am responding to you when you're on a different instance. I'm on kbin and you're on... sh.itjust.works? Am I understanding this right?
-
My kbin account is restricted to just kbin, correct? I cannot use my kbin credentials to log on to another instance like sh.itjust.works.
-
How do I make an original comment (this is a bit dumb lol). I see the option to reply to others but no "comment" button for me to comment on my own.
-
On kbin specifically... what is a microblog?
-
(Last one promise), what is up with the @stuff. I see this post link is kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.mt... I figured the /m is like reddit's /r, but what is the asklemmy@lemmy.mt meaning that this is the magazine/community from lemmy.mt when shown on the kbin /m/ instance version? Not sure if this question makes any sense lol I'm just trying to understand how this all works
@Crankpork they're left wing dictators? The wings are about economic policies. Communism is an ultra far left economic system like pure laissez-faire capitalism is an ultra far right economic system. You can be authoritarian or libertarian in either group. Or you can have more moderate economic views and still also have more authoritarian enforcement or extreme libertarian/anarchic lack of enforcement
