How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit?
I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality discussion with friendly participants.
This planted my initial seed about federated social media. I knew from some experience that it could be applied in many different ways. I started looking at Reddit alternatives recently as things started heating up over the recent API changes and came across both kbin and lemmy.
Anyways that's enough about my journey, I'm more curious about yours. What brought you here and do you plan on staying for a while?

Never knew kbin until seeing a post in Reddit mentioning r/kbinMigration was banned. Streisand effect!
Me too, have been on Mastodon since 2018 but for some reason never looked at Lemmy or kbin.
Joined a Lemmy instance a couple of weeks ago but that’s just defederated and will shut down, so I’ve applied to join another instance.
Following the disastrous reddit AMA, which revealed the sheer disregard that Reddit has for its users and the third party apps that are needed, I decided to join kbin as well.
So far I’m enjoying Kbin very much.
I won’t use Reddit during the shutdown but will occasionally peak in after the 14th, but only to see if sense has prevailed. If it hasn’t then come June 30th, I’ll delete all my posts from Reddit and then delete the account.
I came over after the AMA. From what I've heard on the grapevine reddit can restore your last deleted comment. I want my content gone from reddit so I plan on editing all of my comments to Thank you u/spez your nightmare of an AMA. It showed your true colours. Your direct behavior is the reason I am leaving reddit. Then i'll delete my account. I think power delete suite allows you to mass edit comments.
The recent interviews with u/spez convinced me that he is either incompetent or malicious. I’ve deleted my account early. It’s liberating to be away. There are reports of Reddit reverting deleted/edited posts.
Exactly why I made an account over here. I checked this place out yesterday, was iffy on it, then today saw the ban post and figured if they're trying to silence the main hub of talk about a competitor then it might be worth making an account and sticking around.
That’s how I originally found Reddit (from Digg) so the circle of life continues.
