FediTips has moved!Jun 10, 2023

Apparently Reddit has now banned a subreddit dedicated to the Fediverse Reddit-alternative Kbin:

If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.

The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.

#RedditCensorship takes #Elmo's #BorgSite approach and has area eliminated #Fediverse entry.

Act now to protect your content and use the #Fediverse's #FOSS alternative:

#Kbin (1):

EDIT/UPDATE:
I needed to remove #Lemmy as an alternative due to its dubious stance towards human-rights abuses, as explained in the next toot.

PS:

Reason for #Lemmy's removal:

I have removed my indirect endorsement of #Lemmy. They have a very dubious stance towards human rights and do not object people celebrating #Stalin's birthday, a man who directly and indirectly killed 6-9 million people.
Besides, they apparently are die-hard communists, supporting the Kremlin (#tankies).

p.s. Have had lot of people asking similar questions, so here are some answers: Kbin's website is at https://kbin.pub, they have a flagship server at https://kbin.social. There's no app yet, but you can use Kbin servers through their websites. The lead developer of Kbin is @[email protected], at the moment that's the account to follow for news on the project. If you want to help Kbin there's a donation link at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin, and programmers can help at https://codeberg.org/Kbin

@HistoPol @feditips Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I don't know if there are any Lemmy instances worth promoting, but because of the way the site currently works, I've removed it for now.

@stefan

You are very welcome. I support this decision, but it was not mine to suggest.

I agree with @feditips that it matters greatly who gets the proceeds of #donations and the visibility from sites like yours that, in turn, could generate (marketing) proceeds.
