  • There has been instances already where instances have disappeared, been defereated, and or just failed to keep up with the new changes in the protocols we all call home.

    People have migrated pretty quick to other instances, other communities, etc…etc…

    For example I was on lemmy.world for a good year or so before piefed. And they are both excellent platforms! Jumping instances is actually really easy and you dont lose much.

    Jumping instances, making your own, etc…etc… are things you cant really do outside the fediverse. You cant just spin up a twitter clone an expect it to interop with twitter outside giving massive $$ to API costs (and thats if THEY allow it). Here I have spun up my own lemmy/piefed/mastodon/gotosocial/peertube instances and communicated with people on the respective platforms.

    In a nutshell we have more control to do what we want. If I dont like what piefed and rimu/others are doing, I can fork and make a mesa-piefed with flapjacks and other things. And it will work with lemmy.world day 1.

    We have the power. Thats what makes us different.
