It will be interesting to see which one wins out, like how Lemmy won out vs kbin/mbin, since kbin never accepted any outside help and stopped contributing. Not really putting the open in open-source that way, IMO.

I picked kbin for no particular reason and then moved to lemmy. Kbin was a dumpster fire of spam and downtime. Seems to be permanently broken as of the last 2 months minimum

It's a shame, I wanted to like KBin because it's PHP and I specialize in PHP (also JS and Java), but the maintainer just made sure that it wasn't sustainable.

Bluesky wins out.

Sorry, but there's companies and interest groups at play here. No one is championing Mastodon but us fossy poors.

Would kinda be nice if I dunno... Harvard or, Brown maybe would take an interest in privacy focused social media and start lobbying for and spreading it.

We have companies spending billions on bullshit, with nobody spending a cent on truth.
