The pearl clutching from the bourgeois is becoming a bit annoying.

Nope they genuinely think that the only reason we're having these weather events is because there's NOT ENOUGH carbon in the atmosphere.

I've got no problem with the communists. I like having a part of the internet that isn't completely commoditised and filled with ads and people trying to sell side hustles. I hate the search function.

Honestly going for the 'largest' instance is kind of ~~dumb~~ naive. Smaller, faster instances provide a much better experience. Bigger is not better in the fediverse.

The whole point is to decentralise power away from a single instance, CEO or monopoly. If you're on a small instance you can still see all the content you want from all the other instances and you might even get a meaningful say in how your experience develops.

We don't want to build another Reddit we want to build an alternative that is better structured.
