Oh man, I knew there were a lot but I had no idea.

I remember when Google Wave was demo’ed to a live audience, there were audible ooohs and aaahs from the crowd. It was such a mindblowing idea 14 years ago, shame it never really got off the ground.

I’ve tried both as a forum admin. I think it’s just a matter of preference at this point. phpBB is still sporting that old compact style, which kinda makes it look dated.

I’m interested in spinning one up as well, mostly for having the choice of what to name the domain lmao. Right now I gotta look more into it. Hopefully @dan can get back to us with some numbers.

I’ve heard that kbin supports blocking entire instances at a user level

Yes, to do this, go to kbin.social/d/insertinstancehere, then block from there.

I think this is one of the strengths of kbin, because kbin itself can be open and neutral as much as possible and let each user decide the content they want/don’t want to see. Of course this doesn’t stop bad actors from coming over, making accounts, and start giving the instance a bad reputation, making it increasingly likely for it to be defederated by other instances…
