This is honestly the only major issue I have with the Fediverse. Most of my Reddit/social media posts are related to three or so niche interests. My first Mastodon account was on the central hub for one interest that later defederated with the central hub for another interest. Not being able to interact with 1/3rd of the people I want to interact with just defeats the whole point of joining these kinds of platforms. Moderators just carving out a chunk of the Fediverse for their users is just unacceptable.
Right, but how is it any different than half the users on a subreddit leaving and starting their own? People will always get together in groups and will always naturally begin to despise one another for whatever reason.
It sucks, but it’s just the way it is. If people don’t want to interact with one another, there’s no point in forcing them to do so.
It's different because if people leave and start a new subreddit, you can still visit, subscribe to, comment on, etc. that new subreddit.
everyone who signed up as smaller instances is laughing right now.
