  • I come from older style forums and boards as well. Mostly linux/tech related stuff when it’s not melee we’re talking about. And its been a long time since I’ve used reddit outside of the few niche multis I created for my hobbies. So, that being said, ActivityPub and kbin are interesting to me, and if a large enough portion of the communities for my specific interests migrate here/lemmy, I’ll be happy to stay around.

    I’d welcome moving to a more sustainable platform, but I don’t see r/ssbm migrating anywhere with meaningful numbers without a concerted effort by the mods to push the users somewhere else specific. No 3rd party apps will force me to just browse on desktop, and if we don’t migrate anywhere r/ssbm will still be the best place to keep up to date on community happenings as Twitter/Discord are poor at doing so in my opinion. I don’t use Twitter/Discord, watch streams, and almost never catch tournaments live, so that’s the value of a melee online community for me.

    I foresee another burst of activity when the API changes actually go into effect, hopefully kbin is federated and ready to go by then. We’ll see what happens.
