That first part is where I’m stuck lol. I am fine with maintaining a good ratio but have limited bandwidth to pass a big exam or get in with the right crowd socially…

I’ve heard it’s best to just buy a domain for your email for hopscotch reasons

Long time user of that sub here. I’ve been chatting with them lately and they seem quite reasonable but very burned out.

I don’t think you should interpret this as negativity so much as being all out of spoons and needing people to step up so the burden is not so heavy.

Please we need people to step up. Start communities here and find instances that are welcoming.

One of the biggest points worth considering is the sheer volume of hate from certain segments of the internet that sub gets. Mods on whatever instance need to be willing to tackle that.

For my part I’m currently working full capacity taking the lead on another initiative (also involving Lemmy and the trans community) and I am new to Lemmy so I cannot take the lead on making communities here but am happy to facilitate however I can.

This is an interesting idea and provides some inspiration thank you

So with all due respect I think you’re coming at this from a different set of experiences and assumptions as to what constitutes “good content.”

I’m a transsexual and many of us have already migrated into closed Discord servers in order to specifically avoid what you consider to be “benefits” of federating with large instances.

The same things you think are so great about Reddit have been driving us off the platform for years in search of more niche and protected communities.

I’m not denying that your use case here is valid. Just that it’s a very mainstream view of what good social media is. But mainstream appeal doesn’t necessarily mean better for all of us in all communities.

The fediverse has the potential in the digital world to be like gay villages once were in meat world. Isolated and self-segregated, safer than most places though hate crimes and bath house raids still continued, and essential for organizing networks of support/protection between ourselves.

I am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation.

It’s harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification.

Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.
