I don’t care about beeper one way or another, but that bloody image with the post, it needs to die in a fire.

They’re welcome to it. I haven’t deleted my reddit account yet, but I did kill the tab in my browser. I just don’t care anymore.

The only reason I haven’t gotten an instance spun up yet, is because I’m old, and set in my ways, and don’t really understand how to configure and get kbin running with Docker. As soon as somebody that’s better at this than I am gets some sort of “Docker for dummies wanting to setup kbin” up, I’ll spin it up, I’ve already got a nice beefy VPS sitting there with Mastodon/Matrix/Nextcloud running on it, and plenty of resources left.

The performance issues will sort themselves out. The timing is just bad for kbin.social

But it’s not a performance issue, so much as it is people learning how the Fediverse works. At it’s best, there shouldn’t be any megaservers where everybody is signed up. There should be many smaller servers, that are interacting with each other, via federation. It’s a little different way of looking at things.

For my part, I’ve only participated in the whole reddit thing under protest. I’m involved in some open source projects, and I felt it necessary to get involved there, just to fight the FUD.

I never liked it. Even before this whole API hullabaloo.

I’ve got my popcorn, and I’ll be happy to watch reddit die in a fire. (One can only hope.)
