I decided to practice what I preach and set up a new federated, censorship-resistant online community for members of KiA as well as any general enthusiasts of gaming and nerd culture. Feel free to sign up and spread the word.

For someone who wanted to make a community like this, you've never interacted with this community.
I say it's a trap.
Is it gay?
Well for starters it's a microblog instead of a link aggregator so you'll have to decide for yourself.
I've lurked around KIA and KIA2 for years. I've never made an account because I don't trust reddit, and I never bothered with the .win communities because I felt like neither was really active or took full advantage of their freedoms.
Believe what you want. All I really wish is for more people to stop falling for centralized grifter shitholes thinking the solution to the problem is just another Reddit or another Twitter or another Youtube.
A noble sentiment but the question that comes to my mind is: What makes you and your domain any different in that regard?
For all anyone knows you'll just take your domain at the first sign of disagreement and run (like the dude who owned the old t_d domain for example) or forget to renew it in a year when you lose interest.
It's not even just about the growth of one website, but the growth of a shared community of independent servers interacting with each other as a whole. It's a system designed so that even if my instance fails, the content will be available on other servers of other people with similar or even different ideals.
I know you hear "multiple servers" and you still think of a centralized system like Reddit, but no one "owns" this system I'm talking about. It's all small independent servers that use a shared protocol to share messages with one another and store them.
