@thor one real nice thing about federated networks is that they seem to prevent everything becoming a huge echo chamber. which reddit, hackernews, lobsters, etc. all have become. there is no constructive dissence, and god forbid you say something politically which isn't mainstream progressive narrative. the exchange we've had yesterday would have been outrageous there.
@encarsia
i think the population here splits into two groups, those who see the intrinsic value of exposing yourself to views you may not like and those who don't. those two groups flock to their respective habitats, servers without or with minimal block lists and servers with comically large block lists.

@bonifartius I agree, it _seems_ to be that way. Even though federation is more resilient to this development and leaves communication corridors open with the options of switching and creating instances, this trend of encapsulating has been here too for some time.
