minus-square@mlglinkEnglish17•1 year agoPros: FOSS Everywhere So far, no brigading by salty nationalists So far, excellent moderation on most communities Better UI experience It’s actually fun to engage in many communities here in all types of conversation and media formats Plenty of federated instances to choose from Cons: Specific communities are small or nonexistent Not enough user generated content per day that you can waste time on (Maybe this is a good thing lol) Instance switching is still a bit of a pain because I am lazy Web UI is okay, nothing too special. Including some alternative frontends Instance federation is like proto p2p. It’s not easily scalable, so it can’t automatically react to sudden demand or attention.
