Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.

It’s obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is “better” or more “long-term viable” or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it’s all one happy family.

That said, it’s notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the “Reddit-like fedi instance” game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.

Anyway, the more, the merrier!

    I don’t see much proof there outside of some “this definitely happened” type thing. Not that I don’t believe them but that’s not the strongest proof.

      Heh, I just used another instance throught doubt just in case. They’re overloaded anyway. Code doesn’t have a political opinion (well, licences might), and other instances don’t show signs of what the commi instance is being accused off as far as I can tell

        To me that looks like a fairly non-controversial perspective amongst leftists and communists (especially internationally). But that’s just my (communist) perspective.

          The authors do clearly NOT “endorse, defend, or deny the crimes” by communist leaders in this text. They might however “have a bias in favor of authoritarian communist states, such as the People’s Republic of China” Yes, I just cited the definitions from Wikipedia. Maybe it is not a strong lead as I have said. Just one lead? I also heard that the two instances Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad were hosted on the same place. But this is hearsay and I am to lazy to confirm or disprove it.

        That’s pretty mild as an admission of being a tankie. Unless there’s some dogwhistles in there that I missed.
