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.

I'm just starting to figure it out, but I think it'll work out to be its own thing, even if it won't replace Reddit. Just as I enjoy both Mastodon and Twitter (though Twitter is becoming less and less enjoyable) I see something similar happening with Lemmy.

I'm also not opposed to a bit of fracturing. I grew up in the era of online message boards, and I still enjoy those and honestly think there's some that are better than anything on Reddit. Having small areas where people can talk about one of their niche interests is cool.
