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.

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.

I see some people using their real names or enough clues that their real identiy can be found out… I hope they realize how transparent this platform is.

I’m imaging some will come here unaware of that fact, think they are just lurking, but still voting never the less. The voting gives info about what they were looking at and their opinion about what they were looking at. No comment is necessary.

Maybe they secretly looked at porn on Reddit an upvoted what they liked. secretly had a history of voting on gore/death subs, . . whatever it was, Reddit allowed that info to be kept between Reddit and the user.

Here that info is a public record. Bots will eventually be used to gobble that info up.

I’m also starting to wonder about the people and servers that are running and maintaining the instances. Have they been vetted? Are we just going on blind faith that they are keeping the user email data secure?

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.
