Since the fediverse is protocol and standards based it has potential. Email is ubiquitous.

It's important to reach a critical mass where communities can sustain themselves, but is it necessary for there to be one super community? I found Reddit became very impersonal and that meant it sometimes got pretty mean as a result. More medium sized communities hopefully means people being more considerate and actually connecting with each other, at least I hope.

There's an appeal to having limitless content, but it does become addictive. Having a slower pace is a good thing.

I left Reddit shortly after the spez's AMA before I found Lemmy and for a week I did feel a little out of touch since I didn't like the feeds on other social networks or sites. Lemmy gives me that feeling of being up to date with the internet without being endless which I think is much healthier.

I would much rather have fewer more engaging conversations than the circus Reddit was. Sure it had more conversation but sometimes that felt more isolating since every comment became transactional noise. Really hoping I can find the sweet spot on Lemmy!
