Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.
It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything โ instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.
That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.
Anyway, the more, the merrier!

Fair enough. I guess when you said,
I sort of thought to myself, "how do you make a community explicitly non-tankie without making it also a political instance?"
We actually decided against listing inappropriate behaviors and instead distilled it down to just one simple rule: if you couldn't get away with saying it at a bar, you can't say it on our instance. If you went on a public, bigoted rant at a bar, you'd get kicked out (maybe with a warning, probably not). Same applies here.
And a bar doesn't need to post that as a rule; everyone should already know it.
