This is a fantastic comment. Defederation just causes more problems, as counterintuitive as that seems.

The threadiverse as a whole has a great number of smart, reasonable people. I would like to believe that we can build a system that allows us to flourish and them to simply exist.

But if we can't then we always have the option

It explains in the article. Found the redditor xD.

But yeah looks like daily unique visitors and average visit time, which was around 8 minutes apparently. (rookie numbers psh)

Reddit has given us an incredible head start with the way they handled the API changes.

The people who understood what that meant and decided not to stand for it are the people who came here first. Should be an excellent foundation.

Great analogy. It ain't much but it's all we've got right now.

Communities take time to form. Right now we are pretty much one big community of reddit migrants. As we gain numbers and spend more time together, the content will emerge.

This project has legs. I've been on Lemmy this past week but now I'm commenting from kbin. Once you start to figure everything out you really see the potential.
