This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.
I think its ok to discuss the merits of all fedi services. But unlike most platforms, one service doing well does not mean others will do porely. We are in this together.
As soon as it gets personal, thats when i think a timeout needs to happen.
I hope the discussion on the features and bugs is still allowed. It’s just the drama around the devs that is prohibited.
“Drama” One of the dev teams are literally huge bigots. I agree this community isn’t the place for it, that’s fine, but I can’t help but take issue people refer to real issues as “drama” and nothing more.
No mention of KBin, niiiice
For good reason. https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, which https://nlnet.nl/project/Kbin/ points to as official, has not been updated in quite some time, and while https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list used to show one last straggler, it now is entirely empty with zero instances that are advertising themselves as running that software. It is well and truly dead.
Mbin carries onwards, but with only <1k active users world-wide one wonders for how much longer.
PieFed’s flagship instance alone has >2k active users, and its second-largest instance another thousand. PieFed.social is now the 2nd largest instance reported on that Fediverse Explorer site.
Of course, nothing else comes anywhere even remotely close to the size of Lemmy.World, which is >5x larger and has 40% of all Lemmy active users (totally independently of the same admins’ PieFed version, which is the #3 PieFed instance).
So when one falls (Kbin), two more rises to take its place (Mbin & PieFed, plus also nodeBB, flarum perhaps one day, and obviously Mastodon, Friendica, and others across the Fediverse as well:-) - this bodes well for the strength of the Threadiverse to carry on!!?:-P
