@MicroWave I had never heard of the Fediverse or kbin before the protests on Reddit. I’m really hoping this all takes off. I’ve been enjoying my time here so far.
Same. I knew about mastodon but couldn't imagine a viable reddit alternative taking off so soon. And now, we've got lemmy and kbin users seamlessly talking to each other. It's amazing.
and I'll be the first one to say it because either people don't want to talk about it or they just don't think about it
SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE .... SUPPORT YOUR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
It doesn't matter who you are on ... lemmy, kbin, mastodon or anyone else ... find your instance owner and see if they are looking for donations or subscriptions and sign up for them
Sure the only way we can protect this new system is by keeping it federated, open and decentralized ... but it all only works if small groups of people pay for the basic hardware services and rental services and any other services out there to keep it all running ... yes the costs are minimal for small instances but those costs only add up as their instance becomes more popular.
Supporting your instance means it will stay protected ... if you burn out your instance owners or they run into financial trouble .. then your instance will start more risks including being shut down or sold to someone else
And it doesn't take much to support these guys ... if we all just gave a dollar a month, it would be more than enough to support them.
