A chance...for me to still use it? Sure. I've always just had my list of niche subs, never used /all or /popular or whatever. It's fine. It's like french fries; not good for you yet appealing all the same. But it's great to have an alternative where the goal isn't "i want to be a complete antisocial goblin and spew hate everywhere".

Taking some time to learn about the Fediverse, it almost feels like an IRC network. Individual networked nodes cooperating with each other to facilitate communication. It's an old school idea with a very modern perspective. I love the idea and I hope it grows.

The fediverse thing makes me feel like I'm in the dust. I thought Kbin was its own federated thing, separate from Lemmy. Like there are decentralized federated Kbin nodes as its own thing, and decentralized Lemmy nodes as its own thing. But Lemmy and Kbin intermingle?

I feel like I need something like that old UK/GreatBritain/British Isles infographic, but for Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, and whatever else springs up.
