They come and go. They're random clutter. We only need a few big instances that hosts a majority of the communities and that's it. Why do we need so many smaller ones?

I run an instance focused on the needs of trans and gender diverse folk, because big instances run by cis folk tend not to deal with transphobia as well as I would like.

Centralised instances not dealing with transphobia is why I left most other social media platforms, so you can imagine I'm keen not to just repeat that experience here
