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.
Great point about finding the community for a thing. I’m actually dealing with a bit of imposter syndrome when I want to respond about something I have personal experience but worry I’m not knowledgeable enough and will get dunked after posting.
Finding community is something I think most want as part of a “reddit-esque” experience. The problem is the initial person who wants the thing is expected to setup and run the thing. It’s a hurdle, for sure. I know some mods ask for suggestions for that such issue.
