Sync in my opinion provides the most seamless, Reddit-like experience, so naturally, more people will gravitate towards that

The weird thing is that x.com sometimes loads into Twitter and sometimes doesn't, which shows that there's really no management in all of this.

I already replaced my search engine, my social media and my Reddit.

Do you want me to replace my email too, Google?

The thing I want to know is - are they going to try and block any mention of Fedi or Lemmy on the canvas?

The latest update has been amazing. It now works really fast even when I have a lot of extensions turned on and working in the background.

There is an inherent problem with microblogging sites. They don't help you understand anything. All they do is give you small blips of information, text, memes, short videos, drawings, pictures. You can't state your full opinion and it is hard to be noticed or seen because most people don't bother getting into any topic in detail. On the other hand, social news plafrorms - like Lemmy and Kbin and even Reddit - encourage dialogue and discourage toxicity.

Microblogging has changed. Now, I much prefer talking about current events on a social news platform than on a microblogging platform. Right now microblogging sites are good for art or talking about general interests and things in your day-to-day life, maybe getting some news out of them (if the algorithm wants you to because algorithms suck when it comes to news, especially in a divided society such as this one), but not much more. Plus, the "balkanization" of microblogging with services like Tumblr, Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon makes it so that you divert attention to different things in different places, while things like the threadiverse can be a hub for pretty much everything because information doesn't flow as fast as on microblogging sites so you don't lose attention very quickly.

I understood the problems with attention span that plague Twitter long before the big switchover was even a thought, it's just that I didn't think of it too much back then.

Gfycat was innovative for its time. Rest in peace...

I'd argue it will become like Facebook, with the younger and more intelligent crowd leaving the site.

You don't need more than two or three, it's all federated, so you can access most accounts and communities from all sites on any of these sites, which is one of my favorite things about this whole thing

This explains things really well. Beehaw's goal is to be the tight-knit, invite only home for all kinds of people. It's not supposed to be a Reddit alternative, but a thing of its own. However, KBin and other instances aren't blocked yet from federating with them, and making a new instance is also an option, so it's not like all is lost. This is a reason why having more than one account helps.

What we need to grow our community is to advertise Lemmy/KBin to the world and the federation concept as a whole

It just says 502 Bad Gateway. I'm not even sure if the block is intentional on their part, or a server issue of some sort.
