A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My concern is that the toxic culture from Meta's platforms will be imported here, and the only way to get away from it would be to not only defederate from Meta but to defederate from anything federated to Meta (essentially creating two fediverses). I hope it doesn't come to that, but that's my worry.
In which case you essentially return to the status quo right now, where the Fediverse is a small group of somewhat-ideological tech enthusiasts.
There's a good argument for keeping it small and focused. Massive all-encompassing social networks are relatively new and not a good thing in my opinion.
and I like it exactly like that. The lemmyverse at least feels big enough
Replace "Meta" with "Hexbear", "Lemmygrad", "Lemmy World", etc., and see how the multiple fediverses are working right now.
It's definitely a nicer experience around here if you block certain instances, I won't mention names myself. The difference is that Meta's instance is big enough to completely drown out everyone else which can't be said about the above.
Can't drown out anyone who doesn't federate. The names are examples of shards of the current state of the fediverse; there was a website with a federation graph, that made it more visually clear; we are experiencing a "fragmented" fediverse right now, and it's a feature not a bug.
