Also, and this is a little vain/stupid I guess, but I hate the name and icon of Squabbles. Makes it seems like it’s a platform to argue, not be a community.

I’d agree. Wefwef is great, although it isn’t as smooth as a native app it seems. But it’s very good regardless. May also be it is a little iffy with iOS 17? Not sure.

Very excited for malicious compliance to be back. It was also one of my favorite subs. That, pettyrevenge, and prorevenge were some of my favorites.

I don’t believe it’s frowned upon. I have one here on infosec.pub and another on fedia.io. I primarily use infosec.pub though

If they looked like regular glasses, it probably would be far more successful. This is great to wear at home when you're wanting to just play in VR/AR stuff, but I couldn't imagine wearing it around.

Glassholes, comes to mind.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I would hope it could continue with other non-frozen Instances. But in my very limited experience so far, I've seen it do that (click Reply, and turn into a spinning circle) a few times. Just never finishes.

Oh, I agree and would love to do the same. However, moving any of my family who currently uses Android over to any other platform is impossible. I can't tell my wife I won't text her anymore unless she uses it. That won't go over well hahah

Where possible, I use encrypted communication, but if doing so would result in me cutting off a friend or family member, I won't do so.

However, I would love to be able to text Android users without crappy quality and the other limitations of SMS/MMS.

RCS would still be a benefit to incorporate without the E2E solution, as it would improve nearly every other aspect of communication over SMS/MMS.

You could mention that Fedia.io is an alternative to kbin.social, as kbin.social is starting to get overwhelmed.

Not my first. I also am on Mastodon over at https://infosec.exchange. I far prefer using the Fediverse versions of services, but without critical mass, you can't move away easily imo.

If you're willing to do the full VPS route like it seems, check out Hetzner. In my experience, it has higher resources at a lower cost than other providers like DO.

If something like multi-reddit comes about in Lemmy, I believe it could solve that issue. Just make a multi-reddit of what is the same community (roughly) over multiple servers. It won't solve the problem of duplicate posts though. But Reddit had the same issue at times, where multiple subreddits for the same topic existed, although generally it merged down into a single subreddit that was actually useful.
