there is nothing socialist about the CCP. “Communism with Chinese Characteristics” is just capitalism.

what was stopping them from doing this previously? Isn’t this just government virtue signaling?

society sucks

I may have a user bias, but I think KBin is already started down that path, of actually making a usuable platform for both communities and users. Unlike say Lemmy that doesn’t even really let you follow individual users, and Mastodon, which lets you follow Lemmy Communities, but its hard to follow threads because every post just looks like a Re-Toot by the community “user”

Then again Friendica is pretty nice too, it treats Lemmy communities just as if they are Friendica Forums, and it supports other platforms in addition to ActivityPub, including Diaspora*, and allows for integration with Email, Calendar, etc. with several very different “themes” to choose from, with the default, Firo(?), being a UI ver similar to the world’s most popular social media platform, Facebook.

The good thing about Free Software is you are never at the mercy of a single provider. If you and your friends like Lemmy, you can always use lemmy. The amount of content might not be what it once was, but you are welcome to use and change, or pay someone else to let you use/change, the service forever. (Like pump.io used to be the whole #Fediverse and now identi.ca is little more than a internet graveyard save me 4 bots, and six people that cross post to Mastodon, but even it may come back now that /u/@evan indicated he’s adding ActivityPub to it now that its all the rage.

if they do, you can just folow them for here right? Or does lemmy.world have less features than kbin.social?

how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying “developers” on the internet.

Do you have a public git for this?
