Replace âMetaâ with âHexbearâ, âLemmygradâ, âLemmy Worldâ, etc., and see how the multiple fediverses are working right now.
Comment on đ Meta just showed off Threadsâ fediverse integration for the very first timeđ

I hope it doesnât come to that, but thatâs my worry.

Itâs definitely a nicer experience around here if you block certain instances, I wonât mention names myself. The difference is that Metaâs instance is big enough to completely drown out everyone else which canât be said about the above.

Canât drown out anyone who doesnât federate. The names are examples of shards of the current state of the fediverse; there was a website with a federation graph, that made it more visually clear; we are experiencing a âfragmentedâ fediverse right now, and itâs a feature not a bug.

In which case you essentially return to the status quo right now, where the Fediverse is a small group of somewhat-ideological tech enthusiasts.

Thereâs a good argument for keeping it small and focused. Massive all-encompassing social networks are relatively new and not a good thing in my opinion.

and I like it exactly like that. The lemmyverse at least feels big enough
