It doesn't matter what you can do with it. You couldn't really do anything with karma either.

Yes, but you're preaching to the choir here. The number of people who are willing to take that initiative but haven't yet is only getting smaller. So now people are thinking about how to help along the group who isn't unwilling to move, just maybe not move alone.
Part of that is building the fediverse up, more communities, more activity, more of the stuff that made us want to go on Reddit beforehand. But the other part is seeing if there's a good way to motivate the next group migration.
Hear me out, giant text groups.
Just make an open text group for every post, name it the headline, and you can have the full reddit experience in one non-reddit app.
Hi good, I'm dad
The place where you live is less relevant than the place where kbin lives. The servers are bound by the law of the country where they exist. If something on kbin violates Iranian law, no big deal. If something on kbin violates Polish law, big deal. If it violates US law but not Polish law, that's only a big deal if you as a user are US based.
Yep, I made my account just before the blackout started because I knew there would be chaos when the big wave hit.
I also got back into Lego. I'm early 20s, so the sets of my childhood weren't that different from what's being made now.
But it is cool to finally have the Death Star and Millennium Falcon like middle school me fantasized about.
Aslo we shouldn't forget that it has been a particularly hectic week for anything reddit related.
Between connection issues related to the large influx of new users, lots of learning curve, ambiguity of whether reddit was going to back down or not, and just the general trying to rebuild our online worlds to account for what reddit was beforehand. It's not at all surprising that people haven't necessarily found time to build out the content of their new magazines.
Yeah it was just a "from r/whateversub" along the bottom. Easily cropped out as well.
Except there are inevitably power mods who would happily nump at the opportunity to claim a few more subs for their fiefdoms
Facebook in specific? Sure.
But the idea of platform meant for keeping in loose direct contact with your extended family and social group? That has merit.
We must learn from their mistakes. Get your jynnan tonnyx and start sanitizing your own phone.
