    Not only that. But if Reddit really suffers badly from this it might also have an impact on small communities. It’s really simple to set up a community on any topic on there. And it’s currently mainstream enough that you can get people on-boarded pretty quickly.

    Larger communities may find a new home elsewhere. But for smaller ones that feels much more difficult.

    Thanks to last week’s fiasco I discovered the fediverse and hopefully others too. I just hope it’s intuitive enough that people don’t get scared away.

      I guess that’s kind of the beauty of federation here. If somebody is brought in for other stuff, they’ll likely see when their hobby/niche/etc community becomes a thing because surely somebody else will subscribe to something on that server
