Moved over from Reddit after the API debacle. Most interested in news communities, while being in favor of popular self-determination and against the use and propagation of generative AI.

  • Agreement with differing ideas isn’t necessary, but willingness to tolerate difference is necessary if the Threadiverse is to grow beyond 40,000 MAU.

    Given that we’re already at a disadvantage due to the network effect, as long as new users aren’t racist, homophobic, transphobic, fascist, or otherwise exclusionary, they shouldn’t be pushed out for having differing political beliefs to the group norm. Instances need not enforce rigid orthodoxy to a broad set of beliefs to avoid becoming a Nazi bar.

    Beyond politics, many potential users would rather see non-political content in any case, something that is largely lacking compared to the broad availability of content on Reddit. Many users are unfortunately not willing to switch over without a greater proportion of such communities active here from the get-go. Even if such users join for different reasons than existing users, a greater MAU count would help reverse the user count hemorrhaging than has gradually occurred since the initial mass exodus from Reddit in 2023.
