EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

Yeah. People struggle with the idea of "independent websites" when you can view posts from them on other websites.

And when there isn't a hedge fund backing them.

A server has every right to run however they want. I agree.

What I have a problem with are the server discovery tools and sites still listing beehaw as if it is participating in the fedeverse the same way as all of the other truly open servers.

Are you originally from beehaw? I've seen you defending them many times and I almost always agree with your points. Keep up the good work 🫡

This exchange right here, sir.

Wholesome. Thank you.

Nope. I've never actually directly been to the site.

I just stumbled into Mastodon last April to watch people flee Twitter, and fell in love with the whole distributed social concept.

The Internet was a digital anarchist space when I first encountered it in the 90s, and that's what I want it to be again. And the right to disengage is tied up in that.

Cool. You're a valuable contributor and I hope you stick around. I was also hoping for an opportunity to apologize to beehaw on behalf of my server 🤷
