Vibe check: What are your impressions and experiences of Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and Beehaw? ( kbin.run )

Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.

Lemmy - 99% positive. It has replaced reddit for me, except when I need to look up some obscure thing that only exists in a 10yr old thread

Kbin - heard of it and have seen some comments on lemmy saying they were there using Kbin (iirc)

Mbin - never heard of it

Beehaw - is it its own platform? I thought it was just another lemmy instance

Lemmy: Flawed but fun; doesn't do enough about fascists on the platform but at least they're really good about free speech.

Kbin: Boring. They don't have downvotes and it's just a stream of information with little context. Its users kind of suck.

Beehaw: Fascist, in a liberal way. They moderate like totalitarians and are so uber sensitive to any prospective outside their own.

Mastodon: Misses the mark. They tried to replace twitter and succeeded; not learning from any of its mistakes. As a result it's all of the liberalism of twitter and none of the communists. Also little known fact is that Truth Social is a fork of mastodon, so good job on that one 👍
