This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.

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.

I'm just sharing my opinion as to why people may want the influx of people via Meta et al.

And it's not like I haven't ever participated - the very first "Live Thread" I've ever participated in sports-wise was the Nuggets' clinching game to win the NBA championship. It was a ton of fun, and had me extremely hopeful. But it's tough to keep that kind of personal momentum.

Although that was on my Lemmy account (I joined that first, but I've kinda fallen more in love with kbin).

I dunno, I don't really have the energy or free-time to be a part of something like that from scratch - especially during the doldrums of the sports year (late-June through August). I'm almost 40 and just don't have the ability or drive to contribute all that much. Whether here or on Mastodon.

At the moment, I'm trying to put my energy into starting up niche communities/magazines for my favorite content creators in The Majority Report and Behind the Bastards.

But you're right, I should be the change I want to see. Hopefully come the NFL season, I'll have found some sort of foothold for contributing to the various communities.

I respect your thoughtful answer. Thank you for fleshing it out also. I don’t know much about sports, I’m also a bit lost here so I haven’t contributed any content yet, so I honestly am appreciative of your reply
