#Lemmy now has 135,369 accounts. That is tracking with my expectations.
But while #Kbin had ~7,000 accounts yesterday, it’s just shot up to 30,930 accounts today.
While Lemmy is the 5th most used server software on the Fediverse, Kbin is now in 10th place and it’s growing at a faster rate than Lemmy.
A few days ago, I predicted that the #RedditMigration would result in 150,000-300,000 new accounts being created on the Fediverse. That expectation has already been met.
This #RedditMigration is fundamentally changing the course of the Fediverse. It’s moved the Fediverse from being primarily about microblogging to having more eclectic use cases.
While the #TwitterMigration validated that decentralized social media can appeal to millions of people, the #RedditMigration has validated that decentralized social media has man varied applications – both in the software and use case sense.
I am not unpleased to see that we could contribute to this #FediGrowth for #Kbin a bit with our discussion about the ethics underlying software development and the trust devs may or may not merit.
In the case of #Lemmy, they clearly don't.
Even having a distinct instance or even your own does not remedy that issue.
Only a #LemmyFork and defederating from the devs at least two instances would be a solution.
