I think twitter is teaching a lot of these companies that having one company responsible for your community outreach doesn’t go well when the CEO of that company can run it into the ground for clout.
The mastodon model is more born from a need on the market that wants stability and control of their own communications.
That being said, watching facebook, kbin, and hexabear, in arms reach of each other is going to be a community reckoning.
Does kbin have a negative reputation (or any kind of collective reputation, really) like Facebook/Meta and Hexbear? Or are you just mentioning it because it bridges the gap between micro-blogging and the “threadiverse”?
I’m a kbin user and I can’t say I’m aware of what its reputation is in general. But I also just don’t tend to get into the inter-instance politics all that much.
Well you’ve got a couple of small spammers and right-wing trolls, but otherwise you’re pretty chill.
Edit: You’ve also got a bunch of neoliberals, but you’re far from the worst in that aspect.
KBin’s got a wide range of personalities. Only a small portion are toxic. Their reputation with me is that they tend not to read Lemmy instances’ rules or community sidebars before posting (but that could be a fault of the software?)
In the picture, which ones are we? I neither wish to conquer, nor to be conquered. No gods, no masters.
I thought it was fairly clear that the Mastodonians are the natives in the meme-iverse.
letss hope that we learned from history and kill any colonizer
We are less, they are more. A few arrived now (actually only one), but more may come later, and in greater numbers. Which one do you think we are?
Threads 100% wishes to conquer.
I understand Meta’s desires, but don’t share their concerns.
