I read two things about the fediverse and immediately hopped over here to make an account. Though I had no idea what I was doing, like no idea. Kbin was the first name that popped up and I signed up for it.
Again, no idea what I was doing. Once I did sort of figure out the fediverse I also signed up for Lemmy but I didn't seem to like it as much as Kbin so, I'm sticking here.
Ernest's interaction with the community was the primary reason I chose kbin. He seems like a good dude and I have faith in his ability to steer it in a good direction.
Ernest's interactions have seemed very earnest in their love for the community aspects.
I chose kbin.social because of the alleged tankie issues at Lemmy. I didn't know enough about the fediverse to realise though that only a handful of Lemmy instances were included in the "warning" I'd heard about, so I looked to kbin instead.
Based on what I've seen from the admin here, though, I'm confident I'm in the right instance. He seems like an honest, stand-up dude who genuinely believes in all the best things the fediverse seems to be capable of
I'm on Beehaw because there are no downvote button
Kbin has my favorite interface from the federated sites I've seen, and the developer seems like a decent dude.
I used Lemmy for a while but now I am planning to exclusively use kbin. It appears to be a way more mature project and is infinitely better UI/UX wise than Lemmy. Moreover it's a project maintained by a fellow Polander and not a bunch of tankies.
