It's really unclear to me how Kbin is different from Lemmy other than UI and not being Lemmy — which is fine but unclear. Just another ActivityPub implementation?
Honestly the more I read about Nostr the more it makes sense to me. It would be nice if there were a more forum-like Nostr.
- stiltzkin 3y agoStacker News dev is working on on a Reddit like with Nostr called outer.space.
- FireInsight 3y agoThe main differences I've heard of aside from what you already mentioned; Kbin supports microblogging a-la Mastodon with the same account, and protocol-wise it maps upvotes to boosts so everyone looking at your "timeline" can see which posts you've upvoted. Both being turn-offs for me. I really want the Fediverse to succeed as an alternative to content silos like Reddit, but at this rate I think that we're headed towards a world–like every other time Reddit fucked up–where a small number of people splinter onto different websites while "normies" stay on Reddit and continue to look at the funny memes be they posted by bots on badly moderated subs or not.
- derbOac 3y agoHmm. Yeah being able to see which posts you've upvoted seems undesirable to me. I guess someone might argue that it would increase the consequences of voting and make people more careful? More anonymous voting seems better to me, if you're going to have voting.
