Well honestly, I think he’s mostly going to get away with it. There will be some repercussions, but Reddit won’t be shut down and the normies that stick around will probably actually be the more profitable less tech-savvy users. Sure it will change the culture of the site and many long-time users will leave, but there will be others to fill that void over time. The enshitification process will continue, but the masses won’t really care.

Personally, I think the fediverse just confuses new users and is a big barrier to entry. Id love to see Kbin or a Lemmy instance just be it’s own centralized thing with no federation. But I’ve only had a few days of experience with this so perhaps I will change my tune eventually.

But was Kbin built from the ground up as it’s own project or is it a fork of something else? And where does Squabbles fit into all of this?

 

They’re both built on ActivityPub and look very similar, but Kbin is talked about like an alternative to Lemmy instead of an instance of it. Is it a fork? Why is it better or worse?
