  • @Kichae Most people don’t hate email. I love email. It’s the most successfull, healthy example of a decentralized network that empower not only enthusiasts like yourself, but the average person.

    Every time I get a response from people like you, I get reminded of how selfcentered some people are to their own needs all the time, or wanting to promise a utopia even though we have the closest example to it that we actually can promise to people.

    And not only that, you are a part of the unresponsible and toxic part of the fediverse.

    You are the problem Ms. or Mr.

    Edit: Seems like people need to be reminded 24/7. Lemmy is run by tankies that suppoort Russia, deny the genocide of Uighurs, and sooner than later is just going to destroy their platform. Read this thread

  • @ernest While umbrella plattforms are great, if you want to think in the longterm, I wager this is something you might want to evaluate a bit. People may dissagree, but I think that in the longterm the fediverse will look much more like email, being a ecosystem of single providers, instead of a plattform consisting of many sub-providers, although there probably will always be space for it.

    Umbrella platforms are great if you don’t have a lot of infrastructure and capital as you can get a lot of horizontal growth without having to invest in it yourself. But in the long term this is a battle for the one big forum provider, the place people will go to have reddit-style groups in the fediverse. If you are smart and want to beat Lemmy to the dust I’d just push donations, and really build Kbin.social and make that your whole thing.

    This is also way better for new people that are not familiar with the fediverse and instances, checking out Kbin.pub, which will make the onboarding that much more efficient than your competitiors.

    This is also the direction Mastodon is going, and later also where Pixelfed is going, after I’ve pestered him for years.

    Don’t waste your time and jump over all the hoops. Kbin has so much potential, and going as the opensource hotmail/gmail “reddit” of the fediverse is the future! B-)

    Anyway, I have great faith in you Earnest no matter how you do it. Go rock the world!

    From the information in the OG reply it seems pretty out of hand to me though, which makes the switch to Kbin that much easier as it’s just plain better, and have full functionality to interact with microblogs. If Lemmy was the only one it would makes sense to fork it if needed, but now we have like 3 reddit-like fediverse platforms that we can choose between.
