Exactly. I use both along with macOS, Windows, Linux. All have their pros and cons and all work well. Most of the rant comments are just BS.

What the fuck is up with all the posts about shit and shiting in Lemmy lately? Is there some inside joke I am missing or is this an attempt to flood the site with low quality content?

Yes, many South Pacific nations will be gone by then due to sea level rising.

Imagine road rage.

Can someone please explain what the difference is between kbin and Lemmy and why these apps can interoperate? They look similar to me.

I don't think so. Although many will remain with Reddit, there is no incentive or loyalty for a significant % to do so. If reddit is shit, why not just use FB, Twitter or regular message boards? Already I saw many subreddits have discords already.

The question for most of those useea is there a lesser evil in choosing one bad company over another? Unfortunately I just see this community content becoming fragmented as a result and no winners emerging.

I like Lemmy / kbin but I am concerned that a dev could just shutdown their server and a community, accounts are gone. Who pays the server bills, and maintenance backups etc. This seems incredibly problematic.

Beyond that they need a strong mobile app and 3P decs, a tool to read a users reddit profile and subscribe to similar channels, one click registration without selecting a server. It would be good to also have a mechanism for showing cross-platform posted content in a single view.

If honestly feels like the 90s wild west Internet days again. No alternative I have seen so far can address these concerns.

Same fucking journey as you. Reddit was a good run for 10 years, let's see if Lemmy can work.

The Black is amazing. Comparable to Boost.
