I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.
But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?
I’ve seen a lot of communities shift instances and change names. At least that seems to work here, so I wouldn’t feel too bad about disrespecting the unmoderated ones.
Obviously the active ones I would stick with
Yeah, it’s just an administrative and “marketing” question. You would never want to harm a community that’s doing well. One just sort of wishes that the reddit refugees (myself included) had been a bit more thoughtful in how the Fediverse world work most efficiently at the size it is.
I like the analogy that it’s a small and slightly isolated town, but one where people are pretty friendly. There’s plenty of people to talk to, but the only issue is, say, if you wanna talk sports you may need to find the couple of folks at the coffee shop who actually like sports and hang out with them whether they’re talking about your favorite team or not. There’s the Linux factory in town, though, and most of us have at least a passing interest in the goings-on there. 🤣
