    The numbers of fediverse users have more to do with onboarding, VC funding for marketing and the inherent nature of federation itself than it has to do with defederation policies

      Social networks thrive because they are networks. De-federation collapses the network. Its not more complicated than that.

      Less content, less interactions, less engagement.

        It is more complicated than that. Vulnerable minorities don’t thrive in spaces where they’re endlessly playing whack a mole with bigots and trolls.

        I didn’t leave Twitter for the fediverse because of its network. I left even before Musk, because Twitter was full of hate that the admins didn’t feel the need to action.

        Your preference is just that… And as long as there is room for your preference on the fediverse without it being the only way to experience it, we can both have the experiences we want.
