With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

            Oh stop.

            There are several communities I follow that are either husks of what exists on Reddit or aren’t here at all.

            I wish I could just get everyone to move but it just isn’t happening.

                No.

                But to participate in them, I must go use one of the most popular websites in the world.

                It’s almost as if there will be a good subset of users from almost any website. Which is worth federating to access.

                    Yes.

                    You can already access their resources using IP and DNS.

                    I want to treat ActivityPub like plumbing.

          Why would anyone want millions of users to come here? Everything that becomes popular or has potential to make a lot of money is always ruined eventually.

      Freedom is the goal with the fediverse, so I’d prefer it stays niche than become like reddit. I used reddit and now sadly Instagram too and the users can’t be compared to Lemmy. Instagram is obscenely toxic, I will never doomscroll there again it was worse than reddit, which was also still pretty bad.

      However what I really can’t stand is the slow restrictions, the watering down of content to the point where it’s insufferably bland. I came here to escape that. Post whatever the hell I want to post and browse whatever the hell other people felt like posting. The sincerity of everything is what makes the fediverse special for me.
