there were other options?
I love kbin but being a one man show and lacking API it was never really going to be the replacement. I am, however, glad to have it as one of a handful of smaller alternatives and a sort of cousin to Lemmy.
If it doesn’t have an API, how do I still see posts from it in my feed? Do you mean it integrates with the fediverse, but only has a web interface for now (ie. no apps)?
They fail on their promise of curbing the mods problem with a transparent modlog and active admins. It’s the same bunch of authoritarian kids as reddit and the power dynamics are unchanged, they make friends with each other and with the administrators and it’s exactly as hard to get one removed as it ever was on major lemmy instances
I prefer the federation where if a mod/admin’s bad you can just create a community with the same name on a different instance
When I was leaving Reddit I heard of Kbin (which I do have an account in and still check all the time), raddle.me, Tildes, squabbles, and I think another. So many!
