Just kill it please, People will be much better off on the Fediverse both mentally and to get away from bigots like Musk.

Probably joking, but I like this idea, let them have their own little shitty cesspool so we can have nice things elsewhere

Yea….ok, it was a nice idea for five minutes, but you aren’t wrong there

[–] wintermutehal@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I just wish the pool pissers could have their own nice contained pool, and the rest of us could swim piss free

In every walk of life the best way to diffuse is separate into the mass. Dilution is key.

I mean, realistically if the fediverse became mainstream they'd still have that, they'd just make their own Mastodon or Lemmy or whatever else instances and most everyone else would defederate with those. If anything I'm kind of surprised they haven't gone to such platforms already, since while you can certainly be banned from individual instances and instances can be defederated from other instances, you cant be banned from the fediverse as a whole and they could always find a group of like minded jerks and make a little collection of instances for themselves

A cesspool where every 3 letter agency is quietly watching from the sidelines and taking notes.

Did you mean “echo chamber”?

The problem with restricting the nutbags to one platform with no one calling out their bullshit, Is that they start to believe their own lies.

I thought that's what "truth" social was

[–] SamXavia@kbin.run 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah but rather it not become a breading ground for people like that with Elon's plans on adding dating into the mix.

They probably won't until they have their own alternative. It's Apple, remember?

Though I haven't heard of them making one, so maybe they are waiting for something to jump in with. Threads if it starts sucking less, BlueSky if it becomes popular. But not Fediverse.
