you can create an account and login, sure, but you don't need to. You're already reading and commenting on a kbin post right here.

I still use both, but I have found myself spending a lot more time on Lemmy than Kbin simply because QoL features are a bit better. For example, being able to expand images inline isntead of having to navigate to a new page or tab.
That's a much needed enhancement. At least Lemmy lets you explode images inline...one of the main reasons I have shifted almost entirely from kbin to lemmy; was annoying on kbin to have to open new tabs to see images.
no love for the Relay expats?
see - that only matters if my primary objective is to provide as little benefit to what reddit's execs care about as possible. My point is that this isn't my primary objective. I am not motivated to try and help them, but I'm also not guided by the idea that "preventing benefit to reddit takes priority above all else."
hard disagree. This isn't black and white, you can do some of both and that is not wrong or unprincipled. Thinking otherwise is just simple minded.
See here's the thing - if you are worried about protesting reddit, that inherently means you're hoping to interact with it. As far as I'm concerned, just don't care. Yes I disagree with what reddit is doing. Does that mean I shouldn't give it any visits or make any posts? well, depends on what I want to do. For example, just now I used it to spread info about some of this to fellow mods and within our local community. I believe it was worth doing. I don't believe it was less positive than just being overly simple minded and saying "I don't like what reddit is doing, therefore it's bad if i use reddit."
any mods that rolled over to continue doing an unpaid job just to retain some form of power are bitches.
Personally, I don't believe that POV is fair. As someone who, with a small group of friends, started a sub that has grown to 100k people and is the most active internet community for a niche gaming segment - i personally think it's not that easy to judge. I have not been active on my sub in years, and I leave the job up to the new guard, but I can completely respect the decision to want to keep something you invested in building alive and a positive influence in the area it affects. It's easy to armchair QB stuff like this and judge others decisions, but to just generalize and say "better to die than to think something else is better in the bigger picture" is a bit of a cop out imo.
spez is such an impotent leader. no matter what happens with reddit in the months and years ahead, he's going to get eaten alive by people who plat at that level.
yea, mastodon clients are only good for microblogs, not for threaded discussion like here or kbin.
Yea I had it set to never use custom CSS, imo was much better that way.
