Content warning: Please don't use Lemmy :( Human rights, oppression

I’m a bit confused with my options here. I am looking at Reddit alternatives and see a lot of people flocking to lemmy but it seemed like kbin was the more centrist option?

Apparently lemmy was set up by a tankie and has some CCP propaganda and other problematic background?

I have accounts with both and definitely seems like kbin is struggling compared to lemmy but that could just be because lemmy is better established? What are people’s thoughts?

    Apparently they had a falling out or something because there a similar post by the tankie including screenshots and proof that the dude that posted the above is lying.

    I don’t wanna start my experience by listening to someone else to be honest so I will decide for myself what is better for me.

    And up until now lemmy has had a better experience for me than kbin social. Additionally I think kbin isn’t open to signups anymore from what people are saying.

    I have been using lemmy for more than a week now and have also talked with the dev/admin both regarding communities and on GitHub for a pull request I did. The experience was good and for now I will be staying here.

    I also don’t like the look of kbin and the ux for now.

    I have an account in mastodon, kbin, tildes, raddle and lemmy and out of all, lemmy seemed to work the best for me, for now.

      Yep definitely agree lemmy is the better experience. Kbin doesn’t even have an app on Android. The nice thing is I can use either I guess, that’s the benefit of the fediverse.

      I guess I will just watch this space and see how things go
