The whole reddit situation has been quite the storm, certainly for people fed up and looking for an excuse to move on.
Reddit was in the fortunate position that it started out What You See Is What You Get -- Compare new reddit to old reddit. Click link of interest, get content. These Fediverse instances harken back to that, and I am happy for it. The spread out nature of the fediverse however is a pro and a con. Information and content will be less accessible and more difficult to interact with, but at least it is not _in_accessible instantly if a storm brews - unless folks decide to defederate.
However, another positive for Reddit has been its name: it rolls off the tongue, it is memorable enough, and accessible/understandable to people not tech-savvy.
In this regard, Lemmy (in my opinion) has a foot in the door opposed to KBIN. What does KBIN stand for? How am I going to convince fellow enthusiasts to 'kbin' something? Lemmy just feels like more of a verbal substitute.
Having spent some time waiting for the nice folks to gather in the correct place, I'm really rooting for kbin to gain a foothold. Even more so now the actual Developers of Lemmy are showing their cards and dangerous ideologies.
I hope more people become aware of these issues with Lemmy, and will flood to a more neutral place like kbin, or perhaps another.
Your crusading is getting old and it’s way misinformed by propaganda.
