There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.

I started on kbin.world and really liked it, there are several features I much prefer on Kbin vs Lemmy like being able to see the activity log for comments and posts. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend new users start there anymore. Ernest is awesome but it seems like he's got some stuff going on IRL and he doesn't seem to want to share development responsibilities. He was accepting some more help and putting together a small team so maybe it's gotten better since I switched to lemm.ee but especially back around December and January there were periods where he was absent for extended periods and issues weren't getting fixed until they had some time to snowball into big issues and he was stuck spending more time on playing catchup from that than working on improvements. I didn't try Mbin but it seems like that might be the better choice for the time being if someone wanted to start using that part of the fediverse.

Yeah it seems Ernest has been on another break. From what I've heard, Mbin is a little combative in how/why they created it and the alternative ones never really called to me. I'd agree with you though. The main issue with Kbin right now is honestly just that accounts can be created freely,, and that's only because it makes it so easy for spam accounts to post about selling/buying drugs online flooding /m/tech and /m/opensource and a bunch of others.

However, I do think a push was made recently that we can ask to take over dead magazines (subs), so community can sort of step up now if that gets seen and approved.
