Crazy that I have to ask…

But did I miss something new? Hard to keep up with the pace of their stupidity.

I agree. I’m trying both Lemmy and kbin (although Lemmy makes it much easier to find communities cross servers), but the lack of polished apps for either service can be off putting to the standard Reddit users. Heck, even I’m a bit taken back.

Mastodon was so much further along because it had so much time to be it’s own thing and grow naturally. The threadiverse is being thrust into high gear and it wasn’t nearly as ready for it.

Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”

Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.
