The Fediverse always has been (and will be, for the forseeable) just right.
When I first started using Mastodon back in 2017, it often felt too small, in terms of users interested in some of my niche interests (like this account), but was otherwise a warm and friendly place.
Now, although it occasionally feels a bit too big, it still remains a generally warm and friendly place, with most niche interests represented.
Certain parts of the Fediverse have Nazi problem, which means playing constant games of Whack-A-Mole with the block button, which I think most of us would prefer not to have, but being on an instance with an active (possibly pro-active) mod team helps most people with this.

@mancavgeek @reedmideke True.
I'd say with good moderation on your own instance, rather than the Fediverse being too big, there are just a few instances, that are way too big (bad apples so to say), like mastodon.social.
They give moderators nightmares.
in reply to PaulaToThePeople 😷

Yeah, moderation is key - but my point about Fedi feeling too big is when another Magat/GOPer/out-and-our-Nazi instance (or, green in the UK, another Brexiter/Kipper/ToryScum/TommyRobinson-loving instance) infillitrates our feeds before anyone knows they are there, it takes a while to block them all.
On average, we do a far better job of moderation here on Fedi than the corporate social media silos ever did, but it still takes work.

It is not the size (for me there are enough people to follow and interact with), but who and especially which organizations are here and which role in society it can fill (like what twitter was for politics and journalists).

Today I realized replying to a post with an audience of “Followers Only” can get a bit weird.

I thought it meant “post will only be seen by the original authors followers”. But..it really means that reply will be seen by both MY followers AND theirs.

My followers will just see my reply and not the original post if they don’t also follow the original author.

Elon Musk attempts to turn Germany fascist by appearing at the AfD party convention this weekend.

How many members of the Bundestag are still using X, thereby supporting his ad revenue?

And all over Europe: If your country has parliament members still on X, ask them why they support the ad revenue of a guy who is spreading fascism.

@randahl! Imagine if the world let just ONE person do whatever they wanted... Sounds like a plot twist from history, right? 😳 Just think about how #Hitler's rise to power unfolded! Yikes! 😱 Fear can be a slippery slope, but let's not hand over our freedom to a dictator! Let’s keep the conversation alive and keep our voices strong! #FreedomMatters

An #introduction seems in order, as a long-time lurker and more recent proprietor of a minimally active profile.

I'm a slow migrator from Facebook. I passed on the Site Formerly Known as Twitter so have no experience with hashtags, bear with me on that.

I live in a backwater college town in the southern US, and look forward to being able to move back to the Rocky Mountains. I enjoy #art and #photography, #baking, fostering rescue #cats, among other activities. Peace, y'all, talk soon.

Hello Mastodon👋

It's fascinating how we end up in places like this, isn't it?

This is my #introduction, as I'm #newhere. And I look forward to meaningful conversation and sharing perspectives with this community!

Ah... and these lovely creatures are my partners in observation 😆

in reply to Anne Burlinson

Welcome Anne! 👋

Hope you have a nice time, feel free to ask if you want help with anything! 🙂




Here is my #introduction because I’m #newhere.

Like so many others, I’m a refugee from Meta/X. Mastodon is giving me some hope that I might find a #community in social media. Happily married. Resident of Florida but currently on slow travel in Costa Rica. My passions are: #writing – my web site (link in profile) has info on my novels and occasional #popculture essays - #movies , #reading #fiction and #nonfiction , and #photography

I look forward to connecting with the Mastodon community!

To my pleasant surprise it seems that 400 of my 2,500 followers here on Mastodon are actually following from Bluesky. This Bridgy thing is clever. (See fed.brid.gy/ for more info.)

TIL about batteryholders.org/ — "the comprehensive battery holder and battery contact information center" — and it really does seem to be exactly that. Need dimensions for a weird battery, or details of how to mount it in your project. It's likely in there

The health burden of AI data centers is highly concentrated and regional, typically affecting people within a few hundred miles of emission sources. The most impacted communities often don't receive as many benefits of AI as those in less impacted regions.

I have been a bit annoyed with my computer's IO. It seems that my usb-c hub is starting to fail.

Things are disconnecting and now I can't use as many ports on it at the same time as before.

I am 1 usb port short of ditching the hub at this point.

This makes me reconsider getting a #macbook air. I mostly use my laptop as a desktop, but I do need some mobility throughout the week. An #iPad will not cut it.

Not really sure what I should do for my next computer.

My horrible stepfather's recent death has meant we got some family memorabilia back, including this boss-ass photo of Mom on her wedding day in 1987. Look at that lady.

The persecutor has ordered the Justice Department to investigate "weaponization of the federal government", which is ironic because that's exactly what this investigation is meant to do.

Any government closed source app is a trojan.

Same thing with obligatory scanning fingerprints for a new ID. They say it's only for "hash" generation.

in reply to fne8w2ah

My bet would be, convenient and intrusive. The two are not mutually exclusive—in fact, they very frequently go together.
