@rysiek I agree with you. If you want to preserve part of the old Fediverse, nothing is stopping you from building an enclave. Nevertheless, the Big Network will change.

@atomicpoet fully agreed.

I just think it's important to keep that possibility in mind. The reason being: I've seen a lot of pushback against newcomers and changes that is not doing anyone any good. I feel if we communicated more clearly that it's not an either-or and we can have both, the pushback and internal fedi struggle around these changes would be lesser.

Anyway, thanks again for the thread and for engaging!

The best part of Fediverse is that unlike IRC it does not bind you in any way to any existing community or its rules. Which sometimes does have its charm, but sometimes are just a way of patronising and exercising tribal pressure.

The only thing that should be actively promoted and announced on every step is the fact that you can and should run your own instance, because this is a completely novel concept for those coming from walled gardens.

Also, if everyone just jumps on one of the few popular instances, we’ll end up with a social media version of Bitcoin, actually controlled by just a few massive pools in just a few countries.
