  • Local communities are an interesting concept, though I am concerned about unintended side effects. I have noticed many times that people from other instances chime in to meta-communities to provide some alternative viewpoints and context when instances are discussing interactions with the rest of the network. I worry that some will become too isolated/sheltered. But I suppose, in the end, that’s ultimately up to the individual instances to decide.

    Probably interesting for communities where people can express themselves a bit more openly. I’m very aware to not doxx myself knowing that everyone and their grandma can run an instance and parse all of my comments

    Also safer spaces for groups targeted by bigots
