@annaleen I voted for fragmentation because it has already caused me real headaches.
I'm not on the instance where most of my tech community is, and their instance does not accept mastodon.social by default (due to lack of moderation), so I'm just not part of most of the interesting conversations.
Twitter is working far better for me, which is a very sad statement to make, but I'm interested on social media for value over ideology (else I wouldn't use them at all).
@shriramk ugh that is so depressing to hear. this is the exact nightmare scenario I worry about
@elfprince13 @shriramk @annaleen i’ve been wondering if this is the way. Seems a lot of trouble to run your own instance. But if you’re not using the instance part of your feed (for example, being in big social servers), it just makes sense. I wonder what are the legal implications too
