Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Makes a lot of sense, I have to agree with you that creating multiple accounts is not acceptable. Most of the people already here don't mind it obviously, but in terms of future growth that's a big hurdle that we need to figure out.

I'm definitely interested in the concept and I would certainly advocate for SJW to give it a shot in the future and see how it is.

That's a very interesting blog post you linked. Lots of interesting tangents which I'm not gonna go down. But I mainly agree about corporations monetizing identity in the modern age. But I don't think it applies to the fediverse, because instances are non-profit. And quite frankly, I don't see the harm in playing to people's sense of community and identity in order to lure them in. It seems to me that your vision is technically efficient, but maybe lacks some of the charm that Lemmy currently has.
