I'll go first...

My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024

  1. Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.

  2. Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.

  3. Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I'm on

  4. Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don't know how but there's FediVideo.

  5. Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.

BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately

WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog...RIP.

How's he doing? I heard he had some health problems.

No idea. But I hope everything works out, i think it wss multiple shiti life events too.

Sometimes people get a bad roll in life.

Big fan of his work, got me to quit using Reddit!

As far as I can tell there's been no communication from him for several months and not since he posted saying he'd turn kbin.social over to a new admin.

But the domain for kbin.social was recently renewed (I posted full details over at https://fedia.io/m/fediverse/t/1403334/Any-updates-on-kbin-social-recently ) which gives me hope that ernest is still around, just a bit more behind the scenes.

Of course, it could also be that the domain was simply auto-renewed (as described in https://www.godaddy.com/en-ca/help/turn-my-domain-auto-renew-on-or-off-41085 ). I think some registrars or services even offer prepayment options for auto-renewing, meaning that ernest might have set this all up before he disappeared, rather than slowly reappearing now...

Between Social, Run, and Artemis, I’m beginning to think kbin might be cursed. I’m on my fourth kbin instance, but have decided to revisit my lemmy account to enjoy some native ios app experiences again.

What's your current kbin instance? Curious to see if it's running mbin now or if it really is the original kbin on there still.

Also, anyone remember kbin.cafe ?

Fedia, though I made another backup account on brainbin.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 month ago
