@Hieywiey1 I agree with that, most people are simply too lazy to look for the right instance. However, the only way we can crawl out of the current state of the internet - see: twitter and reddit - is to embrace federated alternatives that are open, scalable, and sustainable.
@Hieywiey1 After switching to https://t.co/5dKy4ODKzb it was much easier to find and connect with the people I wanted to. I'm basically trying to do that for this community. Get it off bird and onto something stable and open.
@Hieywiey1 The purpose of the federated network is the same as email: no single person has control.
As for account discovery, you really have to chose the right instance. I was initially on one of the first part instances and had a hard time finding my way around. (1/2)
