None. The beauty of a federated system is that I can stay in my home and still interact with all of those groups should I choose. If using the local function is important to you, then whichever community you are interested in.

ah yes, the "get off my lawn" tribe
Risa is already my favorite community here, and it only started popping up regularly like, a week or so ago. I'm totally in the Star Trek tribe.
And now I am picturing a funky future cyberpunk world where there are actual gangs, organizations and even religions built around super random fan communities like that.
"I wouldn't go to that part of town at night. They say there's roaming gangs of femboys that beat you to death with stuffed blue sharks. They call themselves the 196's and it is said that they rule."
I’m staunchly anti-fascist, but I was and am enormously fascinated by Laconia, I’m not sure why. The tech maybe?
Realistically though, I’d be a belter beratna.
The whole “design a city ten times the size you need and grow into it” is also kinda neat
Is there a faction of "just shut the fuck up already about your rage polarity"? That would probably be my tribe.
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
This reminds me of Rainbow's End by Verner Vinge, where fan communities become large and organized enough to have meaningful political clout (and their online flame war conflicts can have actual significant impacts on society) and of the Poseidon's Children books by Alastair Reynolds where ideas like "Panspermia" become post-religious life philosophies that people commit themselves to.
And I think of all the examples I can think of, I would join the Panspermians from Poseidon's Children. The idea that we could choose to have purpose and that our purpose could be spreading life to dead rocks throughout the universe, because it's beautiful and worthy and a living rock is much more precious than a dead one is something I could really throw myself into.
The Bobiverse seems inviting. But the entrance requirement seems steep.
I agree! Plus maybe we could hang out with space otters
I still have to read those. The first 3 books had such a satisfying arc and conclusion, that I wanted to step away before continuing.
The others were pretty good. Kinda weird, but still kept the same fun vibe.
The sea otter kingdom will rise again, rise as the mighty tide
What do you mean 'if'.
And to answer your question, the one with the most relatable memes that I can send to my wife.
I will boldly go where no netizen has gone before!
Engage!
Risa baybee!
I will just sit alone in the Iain M. Banks corner.
