Is kbin.social still going to federate?
Conlangs, mostly
I just want to say I completely agree with you. If we want to withstand the companies at the helm of the Internet right now, we have to make it impossible for them to extinguish us. I think that’s what we’ve essentially done with ActivityPub, and frankly I don’t see any way they can try to take us down by normal means.
I mean, what are they gonna do? Pull the VERY loyal people from kbin.social or Lemmy.world into Threads? Or the people from Mastodon?
It’s safe to say the people who have been here 5 months (or even more!) are not really keen on using Facebook 2.0, and we aren’t really the demographic they’re targeting. We also aren’t exactly the biggest demographic, with the Fediverse being a couple million people afaik.
I think if anything we have the most to GAIN from federation. People will know about our little public ad-free corner of the Internet. It’s downright silly to throw up pitchforks just because “Meta bad” because - at the end of the day - HOW will they destroy the Fediverse?

When I had a miserable case of Covid (the variant that gives extreme nausea) the only way I was able to eat anything at all was saltine crackers. The only way I could drink anything was ice cubes (sucking on them slowly)
Try those out! If they don’t work, definitely call a doctor. Have someone check up on you, last thing you want is to black out and die (which is very easy to have happen)
Lemmy.world as Picard Maneuver explained, but also Artemis.camp is down too (which is ~1000 people).
In the US, public transit is almost universally unavailable. If it is available, it’s a massive luxury (or strictly necessary, like NYC).
If you’re very bothered by the ads, instead of an adblocker you can try out an Ad-blocking DNS. Personally, I use noads.libredns.gr
This will allow them to see all your data though, so I recommend using this method with a reputable VPN.
