What could a Fediverse alternative look like? One in which every community gets to fill their own canvas, and the resulting canvasses are peacefully co-existing as a patchwork in a shared main larger canvas?

Yeah i understand that view, i just think that it would be a good timing for it and bring more publicity to the cause.

Also going a bit offtopic: if it helps, haven't experienced any crashes since using lemmy.world

also tested kbin.social but it was pretty slow and laggy at the moment. But i really like the design on this one a lot

also using squabbles on the side, but that one will not be my new home since it is not on the fediverse. It did feel like another good reddit replacement and was a bit more user friendly since it is less complicated than the fediverse sites.

Yes, makes sense.

If they try that I expect nothing less than the treatment r/Canada got last time, and a giant mural of Aaron Swartz.

yeah i saw that info posted 3 days ago before the Blackout on the redditisfun subreddit. At that time it might have still looked like a good idea. At the current time i don't think it is.

No idea if it would end well in the future though, i could see the protest keep relevance, but it might aswell blow over or lose traction. This is also why I believe that it could be good if the protest had a community event on the side to generate more publicity on the side. It might drag in some international influencer/streamer communities like last time aswell.

IT is not in my field of knowledge. Don't have enough time and competence to handle a project like that

Exactly. They might try to have a site event of some sort, but it won't be place. They're dumb, but I don't think they're quite that dumb.
