Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

Kbin.social doesn’t require you to log in to see content, or at least it doesn’t when I try

Huh, weird. When I click the "view comment at its home instance" button the Lemmy UI shows me, it takes me to this URL:

https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/116828/-/comment/461059

Which redirects me to:

https://kbin.social/login

Interesting that the image doesn't show up embedded even in another Kbin instance. @[email protected] you seemed to have some knowledge, do you know what's up?

I'm also getting a login page from your link (‘copy url to fediverse’ on /kbin) when logged out, but not from this one (‘copy url’ on /kbin).

Interesting. Does that mean there's a bug in what Kbin is reporting as its "copy url to fediverse" URL? Or is it a bug with how Lemmy displays its "copy url to fediverse" links?
