How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit? (kbin.social)

I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality discussion with friendly participants.

This planted my initial seed about federated social media. I knew from some experience that it could be applied in many different ways. I started looking at Reddit alternatives recently as things started heating up over the recent API changes and came across both kbin and lemmy.

Anyways that's enough about my journey, I'm more curious about yours. What brought you here and do you plan on staying for a while?

I've been looking for some Reddit alternative for some time (before all this API debacle) I found Lemmy, but most instances are too polarized in general (they are eaither far-right or far left)

I never liked Twitter (I'm not really into the microblogging format in general) so Mastodon is not a choice, someone mentioned Kbin (and Tildes) on Reddit and here I am

As a user I don't really like the concept of the fediverse, it just make access to information harder since plenty of the information will be available on multiple instances so the activity feed will be filled with the same news again and again from different instances making it easier to miss the news I want to read, but it looks like is the direction internet is going, I'll have to deal with it, like it or not
