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.
There is a size that becomes a tipping point making participation feel pointless, and that’s when you start looking like what reddit became. IMO I prefer the small instances for participation, and the larger ones just for lurking.
That’s not a bad way to look at it. I’m already treating Beehaw like the front page of Reddit and I just chat with ya’ll.
