Unfortunately as we have approached July 1st I have noticed more and more hostile users on kbin. Obviously I've only been using kbin for a little bit but within the past couple days I am starting to see mele users who come online just to start arguments, which is one of the main things I didn't like about reddit's userbase.
For example, today I was name pinged several times by a user who had "born and bred <slur>" in their profile. They kept name pinging in an attempt to start an argument. I haven't seen this at all over on tildes
I just home we can come up with some sort of solution to keep the discussion higher quality, I don't want a new reddit because reddit had a lot of problems.
There'll be another wave. It'll be significant, by current threadiverse standards, but not by Reddit standards. Servers will strain some people will be unreasonable about the degraded experience. Some others won't be. Resources will catch up as new instances come online. Things will relatively quickly return to organic growth.
I was holding out hope up until now. Just recently showed up on the memmy app (TestFlight app for iOS) to try and replace Apollo. UI is ok so far. Lots to learn it seems but hoping this scratches the same itch.
Frankly I now don’t really care what happens to Reddit. I was an 11 year account there but the second I moved over here I kind of stopped caring. I think it would benefit people to not be so emotive over social media.
That said I still muscle memory type Reddit into my search box… maybe it will take some time to get over
On Lemmy, they're styled as "Communities"; on kbin, they're named "Magazines"; Friendica calls them "Forums". In most of the rest of the Fediverse, they're called "Groups".
