@feditips is there somewhere I can read about what motivated kbin as a separate project to Lemmy?

FediTips has moved!

@desertcave

The Fediverse is full of alternatives, for example Mastodon isn't the first or the only microblogging platform on the Fediverse.

As long as platforms are interoperable, it doesn't matter if there are many different platforms because they aren't splintering the audience.

In fact, it's really important there ARE multiple alternatives, in case something goes wrong with one of the platforms.

We had a taste of it when
#Guppe went down for a week, and we didn't have a redundancy elsewhere (like in #Chirp).
