Greetings all, don't know if this type of cross posting is allowed here, my sincere appologies if not, I've recently started a c/archive community. You might find this interesting :))

I understand the fatigue but would encourage you to see federation differently. Thanks to federation, if that happens, you can pick up and move (again using the export tool...) and still use basically the same familiar service, interact with many of the same communities and user bases, etc.

Change and enshittification are inevitable. Without federation you get poor tools for exporting and end up having to cast off in search of new platforms entirely.

If you stick around, you won't be hopping instances as often as you might think. And having the freedom to do so without completely turning your back on a whole platform and its communities user bases, etc. - it's just super valuable.

Maybe, but how would I even know what instances are here to stay, populated and moderated by good people and so on?

Uhh. By spending a little time here...

Not sure what to tell ya, kinda feels like you've made it more complicated in your head than it is. The brief little comment that pointed out things about .ml is one of the ways ya find out about things around here.

It's not some weird sea of forever evolving chaos. Just relax and hang out for a while.

Or don't. It's really that simple, idk

How can I possibly determine a good instance just by spending time here? I usually don’t even check usernames when reading posts or comments.
