We Should Focus On Building Kbin, Not Getting Back at Reddit. Here's How We Do It.
While most of the people here upset and rightfully so, we have got to move past the angst to actually build this place out....
If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place
Corporations don't just sit out on new technologies, and no matter how hard you try you can't force them to. Defederating from Meta's new project preemptively is naive, and will not do much of anything....

#Project92, the Fediverse: (First Time? Part 2) (www.timothychambers.net)
One more post about how things are going inside the Fediverse now that #Project92 has joined the Fediverse. I have two ideas: One is that the Fediverse has ALWAYS had to make hard choices about things like this, but we’ve always found a way. We’ll do it again. The sky isn’t going to fall, and there probably won’t be a...

OC I love the chaos at the moment
I'm feeling a real positive energy and community spirit as a result of the sudden fragmentation of reddit's foundational use base....
We should be able to click links on other lemmy/kbin instances and open them in our own instance
Not entirely sure how possible this is, but it's a pretty large pitfall I just discovered. If someone links a thread in a comment and I click it, my browser will open the thread in their instance, not mine. Therefore, if I want to interact with the post they linked, I have to copy it, paste it into my instance's search bar, find...
Reddit CEO lashes out on protests, moderators and third-party apps (techcrunch.com)
"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators.

A portal for new users to join Mastodon, exiting users to enrich accounts with more follows, and for organizing to help #TakeBackSocial and spread the open social web and the Fediverse.

To make this more streamlined I created this extension to add a "Search on [myhomeinstance]" button on community pages. It's currently submitted for approval in the chrome web store, which could take a few days, but you...
