Also a planet-burning machine. They’re very versatile that way.
Something like a syndication model makes a lot of sense. Certainly more sense than every studio or legacy network trying to operate its own streamer.

Kbin is currently using Cloudflare anti-DDOS, which means it's not federating properly. Give it some time.
There's also the option to just hit the NSFW toggle in your profile settings, but that's pretty blunt.
Also you can't block communities on Mlem, which is really annoying if you don't want to see all the yiff content
