Yeah definitely through after setting a kbin account, and that's only after discovering kbin slurps posts based on the first tag in post to put in the various magazines, and automatically assigns a tag to track and fetch based on the name of the mag. someone set up a m/Malaysia, and someone else browsed thru the Microblog section and commented on my post, and that was that. Finding this comm out is via finding that first wave of this year's migration, and as it is a number of us SEAsian have been doing own little thing since November, so it's definitely been nice to bump into each other. Redditors certainly more rajin and committed about interacting and posting stuff to make their own corner of Fedi theirs, and less complaining about nothing to do* - felt like an overnight shift into meeting local faces and making local stuff.

*I'm always gonna have feelings about the Twitterjaya folks who paling bising in Nov, set up accounts, complained about no follows/action, didn't do anything to make their fedi space interesting, and left, lolllllll. And see what happens this week - twitter locking out even viewing content if not logged in. So much for reaching out and public advocacy - rip all the callout posts.

Haha I wish for that too! WhatsApp is so entrenched in Malaysia it’s impossible not to use (and not to forget it’s owned by Meta). I don’t use Discord.
