Hats off, guys. I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for you guys to keep kbin.social up and running since yesterday.
As a recent refugee from Reddit, I promise to wind down my use of Reddit until such a time as/if when they get rid of their API restrictions. I promise to play my part towards the newly forming community here and create content for the community at large.
And true to my word, I haven’t opened Reddit since yesterday. Social media post-2008 was unsustainable and at someone else’s expense (the investors). Now that they want their money back, social media will go to shit until better business models are developed.
Since the lockdowns of 2020, social media in the form of highly concentrated chat rooms became popular again (Discord, please don’t become any more shit than you already are!). If social media will be going monke again, 1997-style, so be it.
I’m considering hosting my own instance. I have a spare Windows/Linux dual boot laptop. Mf can stay connected to the internet and sit right underneath my router. Lemme sift through the docs see what I can find.
