I signed up kbin.social but have since decided to go all in on Lemmy. I’ve tried all day to delete my account on kbin but it won’t let me. Once I click the delete confirmation pop up it simply reloads the feed and keeps your account.
Be warned. Currently you have no control over your data there. I think that settles it for me. I won’t be using that service again.
Yeah, this has been on my mind too. Certainly new instances shouldn’t be discouraged, and it helps lighten the load for all the other instances. At the same time, I personally am not sure I’d feel comfortable on a newer instance that doesn’t have a demonstrated history; Beehaw’s stated goals and origin (and having several admins in case one goes dark) helps reassure me.
