Hi!!! I’m a strategist/entrepreneur/software engineer/activist, focusing on the intersection of justice, equity, and software engineering. I’ve been on the fediverse for a long time and am currently checking out /KBin. @jdp23 is my main account on Mastodon, and I also run @nexusofprivacy
A valid concern – and a good point on the nested list item!
I know, it’s amazing Ernest is getting any sleep at all!
Agreed, great idea. Maybe a code bounty for this?
Ernest says he’s definitely interested in accessbility – he replied when I originally posted “Don’t tell people “it’s easy”, and six more things Kbin, Lemmy, and the fediverse can learn from Mastodon”, which has a section on accessibility. But there are a heck of a lot of other priorities so boosting this would be very helpful.
Here’s a post from @weirdwriter noting that kbin’s fairly good for accessibility. but I know there are some problems – here’s a bug I filed last week.
I just talked with the person who’s running https://kilioa.org/ and it isn’t ready for a major influx of users, please take it off the list for now!
Agreed all around … although I’d add that the probability that a critical mass of users will leave is quite low in the short term.
Two reasons the ongoing Reddit protests are important:
the protests keep the pressure on reddit and can lead to ongoing news coverage (which also keeps the pressure on reddit) . Otherwise, reddit will be able to spin the narrative “see? we told you it would just blow over and it did”
kbin, Lemmy, and other alternatives aren’t yet at the point where they’re ready for millions of redditors. For example, the modCoord post makes the important point that a lot of reddit’s moderation functionality isn’t accessible … but almost none of this functionality even exists yet on kbin and Lemmy. So most people aren’t going to leave yet.
Don’t get me wrong, leaving now is also a good option if you can find what you want elsewhere! But not everybody’s there yet.
