Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Yeah the last part is where I find fault in the fediverse bit was hard enough trying to get 1 sub turned into 2-3.
Now everyone can make a community, but there is often high overlap. Furthermore, the "solution" is that you can subscribe from anywhere, but that doesn't entirely matter if federalization is incomplete - the user will end up needing an account to view everything eventually.
It somewhat solves the 1-sub problem, but only does so via brute force for the most popular instance.
On the other hand, there isn't anything wrong with some overlap, having all your eggs in one basket can also make the content iffy. and it's good to be able to have the opportunity to migrate should the instance go down or its owner shows to be insane.
It's a tricky one for me definitely, but all we can hope for is more people using the fediverse.
