Trying to “recruit” more folks in Kbin but I think I lack enough information to describe Kbin effectively.

“It’s like Reddit but it’s in the fediverse world. It’s a new thing, gaining speed fast and it has less chances to get corrupted because of the fediverse thingie compared to Reddit (lol)!”

    It’s groupchat for social media apps.

    If you’ve got just one app you use, and the admins go all Elon on the place, you either put up with it or you’re out in the cold.

    If you have a hundred different apps - you don’t have that problem, but it’s a fragmented mess you can’t possibly keep track of.

    But the fediverse gives you the best of both worlds. It’s hundreds of apps, but they each pull in the feed of all the others - and if the admins of any one app turn out to be evil clowns, the other apps can quietly snip them out of the feed, just like making a new groupchat with everyone but Karen in it.

    It’s slowly coalescing into a handful of major cliques defined by the kinds of people they don’t want to talk to.
