@deadsuperhero @gruber I'm reminded about years ago with Livejournal in terms of organic community discovery.
One of the things that would I think have kept it going would have been an easier way to follow people who were on other instances of livejournals code.
But this isn't a technical issue. It's asking users and admins to trust a known bad actor.
@deadsuperhero @gruber Folks on here do have a choice of community to move to. Yes moving is hard and it sucks when defederation happens.
But it is possible to move instances now, and that will improve. As a user I moved a sub account of mine to another instance, purely because of their admins attitude.
What we in the community have a duty to do is on-board, like we did years ago with Gmail invitรฉs, Like we did when telling our friends about the networks we were on.
