TOS can change at their whim. Even if the TOS started out decent it would change as soon as they were established. Severing threads once the user base is entrenched would be much more difficult than not allowing federation from the start.

Wastelands 3; that’s a fuck no.

Bonus: depends on if it comes with super powers. If yes, then no. If no, then fuck no.

Bonus bonus: probably not, but I’d think about it for hours every night.

Agreed on all of the above, including buying premium just because it is good.

UI also has good customization options to fit whatever you reading habits or requirements are (font type, size, color, page turning, etc)

Unfortunately the mute button has ceased to exist much of the time

How many of our favorite indie games are massive file sizes with draconian DRM?

Not really a primary point of your post, but you might consider that recent history, and history in general, provide many examples where sexism, racism, and transphobia do not remotely depend on anonymity.

You’ve mounted an emphatic defense of Facebook based almost exclusively on the fact people in this thread don’t know exactly the technical details of what fuckery they’ll be up to this time. I’m left wondering if you have any understanding of people, history, or… context as a concept.

You have provided a good sounding board for others to illustrate just what the risks involved are. So, thank you for that.

This is a community dedicated to what is… mildly irritating.

Unfortunately bots and bad actors will follow anywhere people lead or interact.

In this case, kbin shares this particular problem directly with the rest of ActivityPub related platforms.

The communities are still developing, but they’ll likely always be more fractured than Reddit was. Right now users, especially lurkers, are congregating to the most active instances and communities. Sounds like those aren’t the communities you’re most involved with.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the user history and contributions that Reddit is built on generally don’t exist here yet.

As you look around and get a feel for things I think you’ll find it feels more active and engaging than your initial impression.

And I don’t think maliciously compliant mod is interested in statistical representation.
