I think there are plenty of diverse opinions but far less bots and also in order to be drawn to the fediverse you have to be smart enough to figure out how to sign up and use it and also smart enough to see the value in decentralized social media, 90% of people just don't get it and because that is the bar to get you get the opinions from a community composed of smarter, more informed, more open minded people. That doesn't mean we disagree, I got banned from the stable fusion AI image generation instance cause some of the art made it into the top posts and I started talking trash about AI and it's ethical usage. I stopped using my lemmy.word account cause they defederated a piracy instance and I rather pirate content than give fascists or billionaires my money, an issue many people would disagree with me on here.
I've been apart of nerd herd for a while, I've gone from Slashdot, to RSS feeds, to Digg, to Reddit which reigned the longest but I'm mostly out of that hell hole aside from trouble shooting help, I was even on facebook when you had to have a college email to sign up (also out of that hell hole), and now I'm full sending Fediverse. All of these things have been best at the beginning, these communities were all made beautiful because they were not the masses, they were the people that hungered for something more. I think the fediverse is very promising, though I do worry what will happen when it becomes more mainstream, I think we got a long while till that happens and I'm also interested to see how it will go down but at the end of the day, if it enshitifies like everything else, people like me and this ones on here will find something different, maybe it's a completely different internet like lora communities, who knows but to answer your question no I'm not worried.
Don't know why I read all that, most of it was way over my head but you have a fun writing style and I did learn some stuff. I'm just getting into all the LoRa subGHz stuff and it was interesting to get a deeper dive on the topic and see your process even though I will likely never do anything close to this, but it might help me understand some errors down the road. Thank you for sharing!
