technically the catsweat thing is a running gag from the old Bloom County cartoon strip. cats dont actually sweat (maybe a bit through their paws), but realistically, no sweat.
Bloom County ran an arc where they extracted cat sweat and sold it as a remarkably effective ‘hair growth tonic’… until it later had the opposite effect and everyone who used it went bald
the word ‘moist’ just makes people uncomfortable, so of course thats what you name a social media server.
i went surfing for server applications about 8 months ago in an effort to replace my reddit addiction.
lemmy had 2 marks against it:
a. its fugly
b. does not interact with 50% of the fediverse… it cant use the ‘microblog/twitter’ side of the fediverse.
kbin at the time was one of the few products attempting both the Threaded forums, and Microblog posting, so i jumped in to that. a short time later kbin was forked for… development conflict reasons. i went with mbin.
so i now have a fairly scalable, reliable reddit replacement where i can doomscroll all day and see nonsense tweets from george takei.
im hoping to provide the same for other reddit refugees
Where is the moist old sweaty cat ?
Sweaty too ? (Also do you put cat sweat on yourself ?)

Neet it is kbin though right ?
close, using mbin. the fork seemed like a more reliable/continual development process.
If i may ask why not lemmy?
