With Twitter and Reddit the way that they are, many people are turning to federated servers as their online home, kbin among them.

How are you using kbin? As a Twitter replacement? Reddit? As something new entirely?

Personally I’m trying to follow multiple types of federated content, magazines, and people.

I think kbin has a lot of growth to go through before all that content can become streamlined and look nice - but it’s all there, and that’s what counts.

If there’s one thing I would change, it would be putting the comment box at the top, or in a drop-down instead of at the very bottom of a thread. But, I’m also just happy that the site is more stable and people are posting!

    I never really got into Twitter, and even though I do have an account, I don’t really get that much out of mastodon either. For that reason, I tend to use Kbin for mostly community threads, but also the microblogs as well. I’m not interested enough to care where/how my microblog feed exists, and with kbin it just happens to be right there, so I’m a little more inclined to peak from time to time.
