I really wish meta would just leave the fediverse alone. I have plenty of friends who use those systems, but I am able to connect with them elsewhere.

In some places your disconnected cellphone can still be used to call emergency services, which can make them good for the car, workshops, etc.

Honestly, I have found Kbin to be a really solid experience. I think it pulls off a lot. so when I say I'm always happy for things to improve, I really just mean I'm happy for them to grow into themselves. :)

I actually think that for those who wish to migrate, or even just diversify, a slow migration through awareness building is ideal. A lot of forums that people rely on won't easily be built up overnight. Not to mention the strain of so many people moving over to new platforms at once.

I remember reading about the various challenges that came about when the Twitter meltdown began. Everything from emergency announcements to disability advocacy and support wound up being impacted.

We still don't know what the future of Reddit is. Whether things up wind up resolving for better or worse with the platform (and tbh I hope it's better for the many people who still love it and have found an online home there), establishing an awareness of alternatives is great. It means people will know they have somewhere to go if the ship goes down.

I feel like with Twitter it was a lot harder for people to find that and many are still looking.

I'm still learning the ropes. I agree a lot works well, but I'm always happy for things to become easier and more accessible. I love the idea that as people find their different niches across platforms and servers that work well for them, it's still possible to maintain that connectivity.

I'm liking it a lot! Love that we can shout over the fence to our neighbors. :)
