I don’t really understand this whole fediverse thing yet, but what I do know is… screw Reddit and screw u/spez.

I have NO idea what’s happening, but I’ll still be active when it becomes easier!

This is exciting! It's like being a pioneer on the "new" internet.

Are those of us on kbin able to use the app? If so, how do we log in?

Edit: huh, guess we'll never know. Thanks anyway.

Not quite, but I also don’t really want to go back to reddit. I’m seeing some great alternatives on the rise, so I can sense I’ll be deleting the profile at some point. Just haven’t pulled that trigger yet.

I feel like I need to type out a full thesis paper in order to fit in with the type over on Tildes.

Seriously, this. I tried for days to register on Lemmy. One day I was mid-registration and the button was just spinning, doing nothing, so I came over to kbin, registered and started using the site. Lemmy never stopped spinning. No thanks.

What a ferocious beast.

I’m pretty sure @lucidwielder was being sarcastic

Oof. Yeah, @ernest, please consider this. Not having a an app for kbin is a site killer.

That’s what turned me off from Lemmy. I had no clue what I was doing to begin with, then I tried to register for an instance, and the sign up button just kept spinning forever. So I tried another instance. It wanted me to type out why I wanted to join and answer some questions. Like, what? I’m not jumping through hoops to use your service. Plus, as far as I’m aware, your username you register with on one instance doesn’t follow you into other instances. It makes zero sense to me.

Some people, believe it or not, think that being a mod on a subreddit makes them cool and interesting. In reality, it makes them look like a bozo.
