Yeah, the first 2/3rds of the article covering Naomi Wu was worth a read, but that last 1/3rd… I get her argument, but she should have left that out to focus just on Naomi.

I honestly see this being a continued expectation to be a bigger issue. Two communities with the same name on different servers could be very different spaces. Giving users the ability to group them together homogenizes them in a way that is likely bad for the ecosystem overall.

I see the issue, but I still see the tradeoff as being worth it. Right now, if I want to browse technology commies I have to click into each one I’m subbed to. This means I’m going to go the to biggest one first, then second biggest, and so forth. This pretty much favors the big commies over the small ones because this is just annoying to the end user. Grouping gives those smaller ones a better chance of appearing in someone’s feed thus spreading out activity over a larger part of the lemmy fediverse.

There’s going to be ups and downs. I wouldn’t be too concerned right now.

I see the bigger problems being community discoverability, not being able to group communities together, and moderation tools.

Yeah, I don’t think we can say there is a first day. More like there are waves. We could tentatively say the first one was around the black out. Although, there may have been some smaller waves before that. The next big one is the API-ocalypse. The next big one after that will be when the reddit executives fire their foot shotgun again.

Yes, sort of. Elmo saddled the company with $12.5 billion in debt while alienating the advertisers which was where the majority of Twitter’s revenue came from. Revenue has to come from somewhere. BuuuUUUUUuut, Elmo is in over his head, doesn’t really understand Twitter’s business model, and is making decisions by the seat of his pants. The answer to every question may as well be yes, no, maybe.
