HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray (kbin.social)

Imma start by prefacing that I like kbin way better so far.

But do you guys think they will continue to coexist long term or are we looking at an HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray scenario where only one will remain?

Just seems like they don’t play very nice. My lemmy community I created days ago still isn’t federating here. Furthermore it seems like kbin to lemmy federation is much slower and buggier than lemmy to lemmy and kbin to kbin federation.

Hard to sort by new bc sometimes lemmy posts are already off the first page by the time they federate. Sometimes stuff doesn’t federate at all. I’m almost to the point I feel like I need to have an account on each for browsing.

For the record I bought a HD-DVD player.

You can't play Bluray discs in an HD-DVD player.

It's more like DVD+R vs. DVD-R.

I was going to bring a similar analogy; the beauty of ActivityPub and these sites are that as long as they implement the standard in a similar way, they simply become different front-ends to view the same data. There isn't a versus as much as which do you prefer? It's going to be one of the great things about the Fediverse going forwards is the ability to create multiple ways of viewing the same data; each one will attract specific users and no longer will content be walled off between them.
