Things I like about kbin:

  1. ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ Looks nice
  2. (∩_∩)/ Works in my school’s internet (unlike reddit)
  3. (⌐■_■) ernest is cool
  4. ( ˙˘˙ ) Isn’t blocked by The Great Firewall of China [dramatic music plays]
  5. ✧(• ◡ •) I can talk to random internet strangers
  6. (꒪⌓꒪) I am desperately running out of text emojis

I guess one pro to decentralized federated instances is the fact that noone can block them completely. And if one gets blocked, another one can spin up and deliver the same content.

I like the UI because it doesn't remind me of reddit and details aren't as small as they are on most lemmy instances. I like the ability to turn off federation at will if I just want to check out kbin content, or manage what federated content I do see. I like the microblogs and the integration with mastodon. I like how there's no hard limit in the microblog, so I can use it as a twitlonger for my mastodon posts. I like that the creator seems to be an alright dude and doesn't hold any problematic views compared to the lemmy devs. I like being the kbin user in a sea of lemmings, makes me feel special.

Less bots and more user engagement than on Lemmy

Why did you have to do that? I'm going to have that song in my head all day now!
