There seems to be a neverending supply of complaints about the size and reach of the Fediverse and I’m just sitting here thinking this is about all the attention I’d like it to ever get. This is fucking nice. Doesn’t monopolize your whole day, always has at least some fresh content, users are free with the upvotes and discourse is downright civil most of the time. Does anybody really want this place to be like Reddit or Instagram?
I’d been using Instagram as my scrapbook of neat things I’ve done/made for several years. Mainly it’s for my own personal enjoyment but I left it public because artist types like showing off I guess. Anyway, I accidentally made a post that went mildly viral, 300k views and 8k likes, and it pretty much took the fun out of it for me. I guess I didn’t really want an audience, I just wanted to look in the river like Narcissus. Now everytime I glance I get a notification that ripples my reflection.
I don’t know Hal…ima banned Redfugee and I really do miss some specific subs. I’d like to see us grow just big enough to be what Reddit was (as far as niche communities) during its first 5-10 years.

I caught the tiger by the tail. What a world.
It’s unironically the meme of Donald Glover showing up with pizza and everything is on fire, every time I go on instagram.
