I miss it to, SA was the precurser of internet culture and was a fun place to post. I feel like the modern internet has been a bit sanded down.

Not tell we can post affectingly to other instances with ease. quite a few still hang on posting for me at least.
This youtube channel will occupy my entire brain capacity for awhile...
Wait, we're we not suppose to make leaving reddit our whole personality?
What the fuck is this... I both love and hate it. it's amazing.
That's why I'm asking.
idk, I think a few definitely will, however I think it will be like Netflix where people accept it until lemmy/kbin/fediverse as better options all together.
It's a never ending debate on how to "onboard" new users with all the growth. Honestly I'd think it would be easier to compare it to email. like a simple look it all works together just get a account and it will federate. It doesn't matter too much where you sign up your account it's able to send and receive email from everyone. But, everyone gets overwhelmed by choices and not knowing the difference between servers. Something like a email app where it gives you a list to pick and a other option would be good imo.
It's because a system where everything is controlled by one person is so commonplace that any other idea seems foreign and impossible, or more often these days not profitable.
web3 was always a cryptocurrency scam and was doomed to fail. Federation is more a return to the early web with a way to link everything together to compete and get similar services to megacorps while distributing costs.
I think having the defaults set to global instead of local when searching will make it easier for new users to find communities and only show a few lemmy instances that are good to show for new users, the biggest complaint is that lemmy ( and all federated services ) are too complicated trying to find a instance.
Thank you so much for showing me this. I've always had a hard time describing everything looking the same, sounding the same, feeling the same. With Execs trying to push AI into storytelling it's just going to be more of the same.
