I’ve said it another thread but moderators need to be patient with all of the new people. I made a post trying to get some questions answered and was shit on by a mod for not knowing the rules. I couldn’t even find the sidebar at that point. If that is the attitude new users are met with when making mistakes then new contributions will be limited.
Brought to you by thousands of hours of Larping videos. Actually pretty creepy.
I moved over a little more than a week ago and honestly the improvements here have already come a long way. I am really enjoying it and have zero issue fully replacing Reddit with the Fediverse.
I am feeling the same thing. I left Reddit completely but Kbin and the Fediverse does not have the same addictive qualities. I see it as a good thing though I think it’s only a matter of time before it gets there.
My biggest issue right now is that Kbin does not seem to hide or blur NSFW content. It’s getting awkward to explain to my wife why the occasional hard core porn comes across my stream.
Whether or not it’s was a failure depends on what you expected from it. Reddit was not going to change its mind. The investors demand more money and will continue to squeeze Reddit for ever dime the can. It wasn’t going to die overnight either.
What did happen is a non-trivial amount of users left and found the Fediverse. Apps are currently being developed to make it more accessible to your average user. The Fediverse will no longer be some obscure thing for a niche group. I think it was a huge success and will have long term repercussions for Reddit.
I’m sure it makes it easy when you mention u/Spez in every comment. I think he gets notified. I would just change them to something about why you are leaving and where you are going.
Cool, so what can we do? I would like to join the army fighting off the meta hordes!
