I’m also open to the idea that there’s really no good social media, even when federated. We may still have to deal with hateful and insecure mods, for instance.

A lot of why I’m reserving judgment is because everything is so very young still. It’ll take a lot of time and effort to develop it into something more mature.

Hmm. Interesting points.

Or Facebook or whatever else

The difference is that this is federated and you can ignore any instance you like. With reddit, your only choice is to make a copycat sub and hope people join you.

This is pretty much what happened to Reddit, no?

Someone’s attempting to capitalize on federation…
