I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I’d heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I’ve had with people on Fedi.
Kbin is definitely my new home but I do like checking out the other options - I’d just heard really good things about Tildes and it definitely didn’t match up with what I was playing about with today. Anyone else had a go at it? What’s your take?
I really like the quality of the conversation over there but felt a little bit uneasy at the way the structure was influencing their community’s culture.
The whole thing is owned/controlled by this one guy Deimos, everyone there is a mod but he is the only admin. He sort of gardens it, as in he deletes whole conversations if he doesn’t like the direction they are taking the community in. Understandably there was a lot of reference to “Deimos says” and “Deimos thinks” when they discussed the reddit influx.
