Yeah, I am really impressed about it, at first I was thinking about what the use of it would be, kind of wouldn’t make much of a difference. Then I tried it out, and it just feels like home, it’s so much more compact, I really love it, and I’ve used it for a couple of weeks by now :)
The content is the same, as it federates with lemmy, but the server and the code that runs kbin is completely different, it’s written in php while lemmy is written in rust. Kbin also has support for microblogs (like mastodon) so it’s not lemmy at all really, but it can talk with it :)
The fragmentation doesn’t really matter though, as we can all read and participate in the same threads :)
Yeah, I was really disappointed when I read it too.
Redreader still works, since it’s open source, and the dev promised not to make money from it.
You can’t delete subs, only set them private, and then reddit just appoint new mods to open it up again.
Yeah, I stayed on the sub I used to moderate, and then when the community didn’t want to keep up the protest I left them, I wouldn’t really be able to do a good job anyway when the app I used for it when not sitting in front of the PC wouldn’t work anymore, so it wouldn’t make sense anyway, so rewrote and deleted all my comments, before I did the account itself, and my alt account as well.
How likely do you think it is that even with the heavy push anything more than a small percentage of people will switch.
