So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many Many people positing on "the death of Reddit" and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down.

So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.

My experience with Mastodon was that it's generally realy nice exxcept

It's a little quiet, and
Of the conversation that is there, too much of it is about Twitter.

It's kind of like hanging out with your friend who just had a bad breakup and doesn't want to talk about anything but their ex.

The Lemmyverse feels kind of like that.

The subreddits I spent most of my time in aren't here or get about a post a week. If I wanted to read about how spez is a bastard, however, I'd have reading material for months.

I'm generally happy with it, though, and plan to stick around. I just moved from lemmy.ml over to midwest.social, and it seems like a great little community here.
