Funny, Kbin’s UI design and better performant feel were major reasons why I switched over from Lemmy. It reminded me of old.reddit.com, which I feel familiar with. Shows that it might be a matter of personal taste. Or maybe you experienced a different kbin design (there are still major updates every week, the last one just yesterday).
One additional point that also influenced my personal choice was the political stance of the Lemmy developers (edit: removed my reference to these rumors, because now I‘m uncertain how much of it was true). However, that might not be that big of an issue in the open source environment than it might appear at first.
Mastodon integration feels unpolished, but I‘d rather have it than not have it.
I think that voting on kbin is private now, by the way. Only boosting (retweet) is not private. (Edit: I was wrong. See below.)
I think this post eases my concerns. As long as they aren't silencing or influencing conversations in the code, what does it matter? And you're right, the open source nature of it makes it even less of an issue.
Fair preference, I am glad you find it useful. Personally, I just don't think "tweet" style posts mix really well with link aggregation. It's a very different use case for me and I'd rather use Mastodon when I need to use that kind of social media.
No, click on the "more" button under each post -> activity -> favorites tab.
You’re right, thanks for the info. I don’t mind it, but good to know.
yep was going to say kbin if you like old.reddit lemmy if you like new.
