    This is one of the biggest issues with having a large part of the user-base end up on the same instance(s).

    I do fear that the Fediverse, since this problem happens on all of the federated services I’ve seen, is one day going to end up just like Reddit/Twitter/etc. Maybe not in the exact same fashion (hopefully), but similar in many ways.

    Which is not to say that I don’t appreciate the people behind these communities for all that they contribute, don’t get me wrong. But we’re eclipsing a precipice that is going to be difficult to come back from.

    It’s a tough problem, and honestly I don’t know what the solution is. It’s not as simple as “don’t have big instances”, but the current situation isn’t really ideal either.
