    I will never not be pissed off that the overwhelming majority of communities that made the internet vibrant especially when nerding out about niche stuff just happily moved to discord and foreclosed their futures.

    Everytime I get down on the fediverse I think about what discord did to online communities I loved and I get fired up again.

      I think eventually if a federated system (or particular server) gets too popular they will just defederate from everyone else and perpetuate the same problem all over again

        Fragmentation is a concern but it isn’t the real issue, the issue is corporate capture of the commons as far as I am concerned.
