This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.

I see a lot of people saying they’d love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don’t get this.

I’m not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I’d be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It’s just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn’t come across as wall-keeping (or however it’s said lol), It’s my honest opinion.

    I’m a Reddit refugee and I’ve been moving all the pictures and videos from my old niche subreddit to my new niche Kbin magazine. I’m afraid Reddit will collapse, and the collection of floaty things I’ve been building up will become lost media if it’s not reposted somewhere else. I like the Fediverse’s mission and I want to see how the Fediverse develops. Also, I want to have a complete and functional artsy magazine on Kbin to show the others back on Reddit that it can be done well.

    For the past couple days, some of my posts have been making Fedia’s home page and apparently other instances’ home pages too. It’s good to be seen, but I’m afraid I’m getting more attention than I actually deserve. I like seeing art of fantasy worlds and interactions, and I’m not alone in that. But, I’m afraid I’m corrupting your feeds with stuff you aren’t looking for, just because I’m doing it first.
