I've tried Lemmy a bit last night. I know Lemmy threads can be searched and browsed here and I'm not sure it matter, but if it does I hope it's Kbin that wins the mass adoption war. I'm finding the Kbin UI experience more enjoyable. I also appreciate the way it combines a microblog tweet like feature with reddit type usage into the same platform.

Idk, but I can't imagine it being very effective. I don't think most reddit users actually go into subreddits directly. I think most people engage on reddit through their front page and multireddits. When a sub puts garbage up it will just be removed from their multi reddit list or front page. Once the removal is done the content in the protest sub won't be missed or seen.
If they do come it will be out of curiosity. If the communities are not built and active they won't stay. So far the only active communities I've seen are the Fuck Reddit communities. The vast majority isn't interested in that.
I can't be on several platforms? Out of curiosity I joined other potential reddit alternatives in the past even though I had no plans on leaving Reddit. Same situation here.
For me it's the anonymity that Reddit and this site provide that allows the fear-free freedom of expression. If I had to use my real name I wouldn't post anything ever about anything regardless to whether I agreed with what I wrote or not.
This site isn't completely positive to everything. My pro-Reddit-admin-action comments seem to be getting lots of hate here.
I have no problem with this. I'm upset with r/chicago mod team for not having opened back up yet. Protest or not, it is an important service to the people that live in Chicago. The mods shouldn't be allowed to take it away just because they don't like Reddit. If they don't like reddit's admins or policies they should remove themselves from the mod team.
@Pookie1804 Small sub or large, I kind I agree with Reddit on this. The mods that close down their subs in protest are being selfish. I have no issues if mods just leave, but closing the sub down or altering its mission drastically is an insult to all the people that are still using the Reddit site. Just because I might not like something Reddit has doesn't mean I should prevent other people from enjoying it. They should be allowed to make the dicission to leave reddit on their own and in their own time frame.
Interaction with r/conservatives. I made a comment that I downvote memes that dumb down complex ideas. I was banned for it.
Mostly just wanted to make my first comment
I haven't signed up for Lemmy. Between the Lemmy and Kbin I like this Kbin a heck of lot more and decided to sign up here.
I haven't abandoned Reddit and I have no plans on doing so. I'll probably be on both platforms if this one takes off or until Reddit becomes something like a Myspace. For now I'm just exploring here.
I think RSS would be the best Youtube alternative. RSS works great for just about anything you want to broadcast. I don't know why people refuse to use it for video.
