Honestly, I wholeheartedly support this move. For a couple of (obviously subjective) reasons:
-
Lemmy/kbin isn’t ready. If Beehaw staff were able to fork their own version of the base code with their moderation etc. design preferences in mind, this would be another thing – though even then it might not be enough to be worth it with the headache of fediverse moderation.
-
Closed system/community is more personal, hence more productive and less noisy. At least before it outgrows itself.
What I’d hope but is also more work and potentially creates conflicts, is that the new platform provides good moderation logging etc. Which I think is key feature to ensure trust and self policing.
I’m still on my Bing diet from Google but they’d be an easy recommend if the search didn’t suck ass. I’m not saying Google is that good either, equally bad on most cases, but from time to time I still need Google’s help because they’re getting me closer to what I want than Bing.
But sure, focus on spammy, intrusive ads straight in the OS. Fucking idiots. I don’t understand how they think they’ll win that war without improving the product. I hate the AI as well because I can’t trust it.
