"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

Poll: What should be the final name for the #Kmoon app for #kbin and #lemmy? Below some suggestions from the community.

A portal for new users to join Mastodon, exiting users to enrich accounts with more follows, and for organizing to help #TakeBackSocial and spread the open social web and the Fediverse.

From Feb:

"Make no mistake, there will be future Fediverse surges. The internet’s corporate social spaces are in terminal decline, having arrived at the final stage of enshittification, where impatient investors insist that managers reel in the hooks they set in both users and suppliers, using their lock-in to extract every iota of value we wring from the platforms.

The managers and shareholders driving these enshittifying grabs will continue to overestimate how valuable their services are to us, and thus how much value we will forfeit if we go over the battlements of their walled gardens.

Meanwhile, the experience of the Fediverse will only get better and more obviously valuable to users. Fediverse developers will continuously improve the service, even as the technical concepts one has to master to establish oneself become more widely understood and less esoteric."

Another great kbin magazine focused on the #RedditBlackout & protest....

So, assuming I'm reading this data on this page correctly:

Fedia.io has gone from zero to just under 11,000 users:
https://fedia.io/stats

And Kbin.social is now at around 120,000 users:
https://kbin.social/stats

If so, then this is the more quick source of latest numbers than the updates to #FediDB, etc.

UPDATE: I don't THINK i was reading those fully correct. I think those numbers include remote follows of each server from the fediverse, not being only local users.

This is a great number too, but not the number of local new users if that is right. (Someone please confirm)...

Local users may still be best tracked on #FediDB.

Love it here on this flagship server for #Kbin, but question: maybe we should find two other well-run, well-hosted servers to recommend to #Reddit users tomorrow and the next few days to avoid a crush of traffic on this one?

Maybe:
https://fedia.io/

and:
https://kilioa.org/

What do folks think?

This is where breaking news, the latest numbers, information, and questions about the #RedditMigration will be posted. There will also be a place to discuss tactics to best help users make that jump and feel at home in the Fediverse. Welcome!
