You gotta make em. Even if you don't intend to mod them long term, giving the space for discussion is the only first step you can take.

I have Boost (paid), Relay (paid), BaconReader (paid) and at one point, Apollo (paid).
I loathe the official app and ads, I won't be back either. I have a special amount of contempt for the Reddit app even prior to this event.
I'll be keeping mine but using a bot to scrub my comments and changing them to an anti-reddit sentiment.
Or kbin! Or Fedia! Or any of the platforms. That's the beauty, they're all correct choices and (to an extent) all open to any user.
Not necessarily. From what I understand, it's about lemmy/kbin not vetting users. Because they were a a more heavily moderated community (by design) it's harder for them to keep that standard with other federated instances. Instead of trying to combat the population increase platforms have received, they defederated while the "riff raff" gets sorted out. If they are willing to re-federate in the future, I'm sure they'll be back. It's just the influx of users makes it harder for their small team to moderate content.
This is how federation works, though. It's by design. If you are wanting to see that content, you are able to move to a different instance (or even beehaw, if they are still taking applications), or to one that is still federated with them.
And yet Democrats are the ones who groom children. This is the "fuck your feelings" crowd. Their grandkid gets beat in a competition, so they bully and harass a 9 y/o. Despicable people.
I think the question is when cloudflare is no longer needed, will interaction with the content be "live" vs only when instances send/receive data. It's a reasonable question, no need to be impatient. A lot of people are learning right now.
You're pretty much right. I am on Fedia as well, just because I'm exploring. It's been difficult to go past the concept stage in my head while here, simply because it's currently limited due to the growth and cloud flare hindrance (this is, from what I've seen, is partly causing the federation issues). At Fedia, I've been able to sort of practice the platform. It is federated with lemmy and other instances, so you get the access to other "subs" and the users there as well. If/when the platforms get sorted, and I'm able to fully vet the instances to see where I fit better, I'll make a commitment. As it stands, I'll just swap back and forth as needed and keep exploring.
I highly recommend checking Fedia, if not just to become more acquainted on how this all meshes together!
Same. Seeing his copy/paste answers (literally) makes it near impossible for me to go back. The company clearly exists to now extract as much value from the users as possible. I didn't go there to be part of an LLM or an advertisers focus group, I went there for the community. If the community moves elsewhere, I have no problem dropping it. If the community stays, I'll build what I can here.
What? What's wrong with a group of people banding together to say "don't display things we don't agree with"? That's why Nazis can't display their regalia, right?
Right?
