YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities
e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social
or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration
Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories... unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057
And that they haven't been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging "right wingers" (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly "left wing" (though I don't see a reference to that on the current site).
Oh man , that is disappointing.
I'm certainly not a 'right-winger' , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what 'hate speech' means .
That doesn't sound 'federated' to me!
@AshDene @CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world @CodingAndCoffee@mastodon.social @Zerlyna @mr_jp I haven't read what's in the link yet, but if what you're saying is accurate then it is worrying. Fortunately kbin exists, where I think you are right now
