Unfortunately as we have approached July 1st I have noticed more and more hostile users on kbin. Obviously I've only been using kbin for a little bit but within the past couple days I am starting to see mele users who come online just to start arguments, which is one of the main things I didn't like about reddit's userbase.
For example, today I was name pinged several times by a user who had "born and bred <slur>" in their profile. They kept name pinging in an attempt to start an argument. I haven't seen this at all over on tildes
There'll be another wave. It'll be significant, by current threadiverse standards, but not by Reddit standards. Servers will strain some people will be unreasonable about the degraded experience. Some others won't be. Resources will catch up as new instances come online. Things will relatively quickly return to organic growth.
