Reddit Migration

I agree with you actually and I already made accounts on some Lemmy instances, one of which is tiny and real nice. I still use this one for now as it‘s easier for me on mobile, but I‘m checking the others too and it has the same content! I will probably switch over completely once a few more apps released.

I fully agree with you. The thing is that with /kbin that it's not ready to be fully used yet and there's quite a many growing pains still. I've tried to self host and been on couple of other instances and it's not been working well on different levels compared to kbin.social that has been working quite great since registration. My end goal is to self host it for my self sometime in the future but not yet.

You're probably wrong about what Meta's intents are for the Fediverse. We've heard some things about a prospective product from Meta called "Threads", which would be connected to the fediverse or the threadiverse. I'm looking forward to what they bring, and what it will mean for communication through Meta. If they can make it more locally focused and make it easier to reach out to people local to me, I will be very interested; doubly if it can be used from a web browser. I actually want a central place to communicate. I also understand that these companies need to make money; and I recognize that I am a user, not a customer. I have no interest in paying, so I'll defend myself in a marginal way and just keep moving.

What a shit take - every 12 hours there's some cunt in here telling us what to do like the world's going to end if we don't - calm your fucking shit and quit talking out of your ass and out of turn

i think whats missing is the ability to migrate a community to a different server within the federation.

This is a bit premature. If and it is a big if a nefarious corporate entity was to purchase an instance, then magazines would be re-established on other instances and so would users. The instance would effectively die off and be reborn elsewhere. For most people I sense this wouldn't be an issue as the cost of moving instances and creating new accounts is generally quite low.

If you are concerned around the possibility though, you can always set up a new single user instance, which you have more control over.

To be honest, the only reason to move accounts at this point would be if the instance administrator asked - due to issues with load, for example - in order to be a good citizen. Until that time, try not to worry and enjoy the fediverse 🙂

I like it here. I will stay awhile. I tried mastodon and beehaw. Both of them are fine, but I must prefer kbin.social. As things evolve, who knows what will happen, but for now, I am content.

Meta requesting NDAs to discuss P92 means literally nothing. I once signed a NDA with a prospect (not even a client), and the whole thing unraveled in a very nasty way when said prospect showed very little respect for my work. The fact Meta wants people to sign NDAs to discuss a not-yet-public project is no grand conspiracy to kill the Fediverse. It's literally just how companies work.

More generally, the discourse over Meta joining the Fediverse is beyond irrational. People are discussing rumors as if they were facts (is there any evidence that Meta has offered payments to Mastodon admins?). They hypothesize and catastrophize everything. What about facts and reasonable hypotheses?

I'm not trying to defend Meta here. I don't trust them, at all. But not trusting them, and inventing an alternative reality, are two completely different things.

We are more reactive than proactive so just wait till kbin.social gets bought out before migrating again to another - smaller - instance...
