Agreed Lemmy is a lot cleaner IMO. I'd be all-in if it weren't for the political baggage, even with federation we're empowering these guys and giving them a bigger platform. l'm still uneasy about that.
I’m pretty uneasy about the association, but the attitude of Beehaw is the antithesis of it so I guess it balances out..?
I did play with Kbin first but the interface felt kinda broken to me, buttons not reacting and the like..
Tbh, it's floss so I don't care who's working on it. I just don't really get kbin ui myself, lemmy is far closer to reddit for me. If I wanted the microblogging I already have Mastodon so I don't see why it's trying to do both. I prefer the old unix philosophy myself.
Kbin just feels like a home project to my eyes. Hope it goes well and the federation will be absolutely amazing.
You can just block a community or user and you won't see it. Main thing is that its not corporate owned
Federation also works between kbin and Lemmy so if you're worried about that, the only solution is defederation from them.
