@stux It is time for a change. But this is politics. I expect it will be fresh faces, same shit. 🤷

@beforewisdom As others are pointing out, federation (not being centralized) is a must. Also, Kbin definitely needs more polish, but it already looks better than Squabbles.

I did register on Squabbles, but quickly decided it's not for me. I'll be sticking with Kbin and Mastodon, thank you very much.

@maegul @beforewisdom It's a different mode of interaction, I guess. Kbin is pretty new and its microblogging goes by hashtags, not by people I follow. So I use Kbin more for Reddit-like discussion threads, often in more long-form (as my Mastodon instance has a 500 char cap).
But I also enjoy the more Twitter-like feed of slices of life from interesting people found on Mastodon, especially since I found elk.zone with its zen mode.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just oldskool...

@maegul @beforewisdom There doesn't appear to be a Kbin feed of people I follow...

@maegul @beforewisdom There's the top level microblog which is just a random feed with comments from all federated instances. Then each magazine also has its microblog, which is indeed filtered by hashtag. And each magazine can set its own associated hashtags.

But currently it's not possible to get a feed on Kbin with just comments from the people you follow.

@stux

Since they are not federating (yet), at this point it's all a storm in a glass of water, as we say. A non-issue.

@JenLucPiquant

Reddit as we know it is dead.

What is still there is a husk of its former self.
