Yes. Diversity of thought is great. We can enjoy our nerdy echo chambers, but in the end we get outvoted IRL. We need to both know what's going on in the larger world, and we need some way to help educate. This theoretically allows the best of all worlds.

Conversely, I don't trust Facebook.

I really hope that we learnt our lesson with the other platforms and don't go blindly trusting mark fuckerburg with our federated platforms.

Yeah, I enjoy a ton of hobbies where a lot of the people that know their stuff aren't particularly computer savvy. If they're not on my platform because it is too technically complex, I'm probably going to at least visit the more walled off platforms (not usually a fun experience).

You think we can't get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

Not Zuck, but there is definitely a accessibility issue at the moment imo

Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.

that's the opposite of what I'm saying, I'm worried that if we federate with mark cuckerburg they would EEE our non tech savvy people away
