Good to have this content cross posted here so you can gauge people’s opinions and feelings. It’s a net positive if it’s generating good dialogue (even if the OP won’t ever see it)

That third one is spot on. Easily my fav

Fascinating. Wonder how many more people are close to leaving other platforms and will end up here, what will be the next straw that breaks people’s backs

Also need to factor in the codebase of Lemmy. Kbin is based on the Symfony framework so the barrier to entry is going to be lower, hopefully getting more people interested in contributing.

It’s still a pretty bleeding edge project, running PHP 8.3 and Symfony 6, so that’s nice at least

It’s a good move I feel. The original velocity on kbin has been lost over the past few months as the main owner struggles to get his own personal stuff organized. I’m pretty happy with this fork, the idea being that everyone will be about to contribute and perhaps these changes will eventually be brought back into kbin if they’re open to it.

Reducing your interaction with social media, even like what the author did where he dropped him daily tweets to a few times a week is still progress. Less interaction makes your account less valuable for advertising.

These sites used to be decent but it’s all about the ad revenue now

Looks like a decent workflow update, still going to be confusing for brand new folks I bet

Looks like a really good solution to the problem, even a false positive of 1% seems like a small trade-off considering the amount of spam and rubbish posted.

Good to see more platforms starting to focus more seriously on the fediverse, plenty of great little WordPress.com blogs out there that would be perfect candidates for federation

It’s a great use case that they’ve defined. Super keen to see how it turns out for them.
