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.

It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends

That's a straight no from me.

We can already interact with our friends and family anywhere we choose, but Lemmy is one of the only general discussion areas left on the internet that isn't full of the stupidest people on the planet.

Bringing our family here will just result in real identities taking over and limiting discussion to what's acceptable in all our little social bubbles.

Well not exactly. The person posting chooses the platform and then other people have to go to said platform. If someone doesn't like platform X and prefers Y then they have to convince others to also switch to Y. This happened with instant messengers and it happens with chat applications.
