If you recall reddits growth many of their communities evolved as offshoots of a single generic community. This made it easier for people to see discussions they normally would not get involved in, and once the posts in a similar category reached critical mass it moved to a sub Reddit....
The fediverse should be more resistant to this (I hope). The people in charge of instances are pretty comparable to super moderators since they both can control a lot of internet real estate. The fediverse's response to bad instance owners is to just switch to an instance that's run in a way that you like better. Or even better, make a new instance that's less bad!
If there's an instance with a problem super moderator, then the same solution should work right? Go elsewhere, or make a new magazine. If there's a single problem user dominating all communities in multiple instances, well. Time to start "@free.folk" or whatever lmao.
Easy agreement lol. I'm not really a fan of those emojis reaction blocks you get on discord. They're cute, but people seem to just bandwagon on the fun ones lol.
I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea. (kbin.social) en

Dearest developers. Stop reinventing the wheel! (kbin.social) en
