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.
I got invited to this instance without really knowing what the whole deal was. I’ve since started to subscribe to communities in other instances, and I think it’s really cool. The big subs usually weren’t my favorite anyway, so I’m happy with the communities here. I do think this won’t be a direct replacement for reddit, and I think that’s fine.
