Let's say the worst case scenario happens with kbin and Meta. What are some alternate sites/instances that would be more resilient to enshitification?

uh well, i dont understand... you are able to self host these services. you can self host a Masto instance, a lemmy instance, and a kbin instance. you aren't tied to big tech just because a large instance has federated with big tech... so i don't see how "Mastodon has caved". i am on mstdn.social and the admin is blocking Meta from the start as Threads is not allowed to operate in the EU at the moment (exception is London, right?)

either self host or find an instance that isn't federating with big tech. you don't have to run anywhere.

Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?

Far Cry 3 was a leap from previous titles, and the formula hit so hard that the subsequent offerings (4, 5, and now 6) have basically not deviated from that formula - for better or worse. 11 years later, that formula has gotten quite stale but back in 2012 it was so fresh and exciting i didn't even play another game for the entire year. and this was only one year post-Skyrim. ah... good times...

What are you reading this week? [6/18/23]

i've started the Halo books. i finished Fall of Reach a couple of weeks ago and am onto The Flood. i've also dipped my toes into the Dune series and also the Witcher series, beginning with The Last Wish. in high school i read a book every other day and slowly tapered off as i went from reading for pleasure to reading for work as i became a Lit major in college. it skewed my love for books in a big way and i am trying to get back to reading for fun.
