Everyone I've talked to about joining Mastodon/Lemmy/The Fediverse
(poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
yeah but if you join, and your friends join, and they're friends, you know what nevermind
[Edit] holy shit people I get it, people like it small, take it easy it's just a meme, don't need to keep commenting and DMing
the only thing I miss from reddit are the niche communities
but that will come with time
Depends. If instances keep going into defederarion wars over philosophical beliefs it will become really tricky to have small communities. If I like some kind of bizarre miniatures, turtle crocheting, collectible wooden marbles, etc. I shouldn't have to worry about whether the other person I want to talk to who collects toy unicorns is a "tankie" or not. As long as the communities are moderated enough, political philosophies shouldn't be an issue.
That's kinda the point though. With Reddit you were just stuck with them. Now we can move. People make the communities, not the platforms.
