    Or we can just enjoy mastodon and Lemmy for what it is worth. You don’t want it to become mainstream, you just want things to be more federated in general.

    How did email and RSS (podcasts) become so derederated but nothing else?

      Yeah I can see an element of that being true. I wouldn’t mind just enjoying it for what it’s worth.

      I think though that the mainstream being able to speak what they think without a reddit bot saying “pictures are not allowed on /pics because it’s not a hyperlink and 84 characters long is not allowed” has value.

      In other words just unrestricted free speech for the more reasonable part (no threats). But on the other end once it’s picked up by mainstream it probably is ruined by pumping of ads somehow.
