I was using python for quite a bit, but don't like how cumbersome their types are, I really fell in love with nim when I was looking for alternatives, it's an underdog, but personally I really like the langauge.

Some of us care about privacy and don't want to give out our numbers willy nilly
If I find someone from another instance in my flow I don't need to do anything other than click on them and click follow. As long as you search from your instance, and not somewhere externally you can just follow them. Also the process when it's not your home server it's just a box where you enter your user name, not really convoluted. So I don't see what you're getting so worked up about to be honest.
Sure lemmy is easy in that way, and if you like it more by all means just use it :) Nothing stopping you from that, but you are playing up non issues as "infuriating"
I just read through my feed, and if I find people that look interesting I click the follow button, it's not like it's hard, I have a really interesting feed full of cool stuff.
Yeah, I am really impressed about it, at first I was thinking about what the use of it would be, kind of wouldn't make much of a difference. Then I tried it out, and it just feels like home, it's so much more compact, I really love it, and I've used it for a couple of weeks by now :)
The content is the same, as it federates with lemmy, but the server and the code that runs kbin is completely different, it's written in php while lemmy is written in rust. Kbin also has support for microblogs (like mastodon) so it's not lemmy at all really, but it can talk with it :)

4 Panel comic taken from when a reporter Yvonne Tong asked Doctor Alyward from the WHO about Taiwanese membership in the WHO (WHO having China as a Major player) Yvonne Tong is here representing the teacher and Me is played by Dr Alyward.
1: My Teacher: Where is your homework
2: Me: I'm sorry I couldn't hear your question. Yvonne.
3: My Teacher: Ok let me repeat the question
4: No, that's okay. Let's move to another one then.
Yeah, sure it's a bit of a hassle, but it's not like it's complex or difficult, that's what I meant compared to how often I do it it has not been an issue, after you have bootstrapped with a couple of follows, and keep an eye on the local feed it's pretty easy to get rolling, and then just following interesting people that the people you talk with boost, or people that you enjoy discussing with. I haven't added someone from a search in years, it's just a bit of work in the beginning.
