I actually started on Kbin.social, but then it got shut down, Kbin died and now fedia.io seems to be the largest one running MBin. I like the interface on MBin and I guess it’s good to have a diverse fediverse with different services, but at the same time, why use mbin when everyone congregates on lemmy instances? The local magazines on fedia are for the most part, quite dead, when compared to lemmy collections. In the end I feel like there aren’t enough people to go around to support many more services like MBin and Piefed.
Yeah, they certainly don’t have the same sense of urgency as the rest of us. I don’t think it’s bad intent as such, it’s just that their priorities are very different.
Don’t get me wrong - this is a massive part of the reason why I’ve never bothered to use Lemmy. So I absolutely think you’re on to something.
