I think it depends on the person. I’m usually fine with it but I know people who would be out of commission for two days after a single Doritos locos taco.

Yeah, I had never understood why people were so upset about Meta joining the fediverse but after reading that I do agree that there is a lot of damage it could cause.

Have you heard of the establishment known as Taco Bell? It should check all of your boxes.

Yeah without knowing anything else about the world, hiding and guarding seem like the best options.

Yeah I agree, Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing and not just a Reddit hate platform. But so far the experience has been great.

Yeah I’ll agree with No Man’s Sky here as well. While sandbox type games aren’t my favorite (I do find the expeditions fun though) the amount of procedural generation is really cool.

Up until now most of my research had said that kbin was basically Lemmy, but different. After some more research and looking through other comments you are definitely correct.

Yeah I agree with the Mastodon suggestion. Lemmy would work but Mastodon probably makes more sense.

I didn't necessarily think about some of the overhead that your comment brought up when I made mine. I like your idea about opting out of some features on certain instances and I think that makes sense for quite a few users/communities/instance hosters.

I 100% agree! As someone from the US I always disliked that even subs which were supposed to be global would default to being US subs unless the poster specified. I too love the idea of a global community and I think that assuming where someone is from kind of takes away from that.

I mean I could be completely wrong but I think that’s where federation actually comes out on top. Look at Reddit, apparently still not even profitable. However if someone on Lemmy owns an instance and infrastructure costs get too high they can stop new communities and users from joining until they get more money through donations or whatever ways people come up with sourcing income.

Again though, this could all be completely wrong and misled but that’s what I think at least.

Yeah I’m curious about the reason as well. No hate tho, that’s the great part about Lemmy (and federation in general), you can switch instances whenever you want. I’m just curious in case it’s for a reason that would make me want to switch too lol.
