So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many Many people positing on “the death of Reddit” and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down.
So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.
That’s one of the reasons that I was able to join a Mastodon instance that didn’t revolve around people leaving Twitter. Sure, I became more active on it when I wanted to reduce my Twitter usage, but there was already a good community of people that I knew and I could interact with about everyday things, rather than just complaining about Twitter. Hopefully this instance becomes a bit like that, where it’s a separate community that’s kind of like Reddit but also its own thing.
