1 year agoI think kbin has an opportunity to address the toxicity. The anonymous nature of Reddit really lends itself to faceless road rage culture where people feel safe behind their keyboard. If kbin can really push itself as a Mastodon + Reddit platform where everyone has social connections, then maybe it takes away some of that anonymous feeling.
I think this is the logical pragmatic take. They’ll start on day 1 with more users than the entirety of the fediverse. Defederating just allows them to ignore us and pretend they own the fediverse. We should at least try to win over those users and prevent FB adware software overtaking Mastodon as the dominant fediverse platform.
