(note: this is my first attempt at a QB on #firefish, no idea how it looks elsewhere!)
@[email protected] your post was shared in a private Discord server of a hundred or so nerds who've largely known each other for decades. There's been much discussion in that group about the many issues with Fedi, though mostly from a "I don't want to run an instance for $reasons" lens, with maybe 1/3 members active on Fedi, a smaller number on Bluesky, and the rest probably still have 1 foot in Twitter and FB. There isn't a sense of community on Fedi with these people, and most of them aren't posting much, tho they interact a lot in the Discord server.
As a Fedi-proponent since Diaspora, I have a keen interest in what has happened in this space and I'm actually still hopeful. But it's only since #Rexxit that my feelings on this have changed to be MUCH more hopeful. Let me explain.
#Rexxit brought many members of subreddits from Reddit into the Fediverse. As they were able to set up their own communities (based on their former subreddits) on Lemmy/kbin, they were able to establish their own social norms in this new space: subreddits as part of a larger whole have /always/ had a great deal of variation in social norms (quite different to Twitter). It has brought a totally different crowd into the Fediverse, and here's the important bit: they've been able to do it /on their own terms/, and with a sense of safety and comfort. It's been amazing to watch. Many people don't even really realise that they are part of the #Fediverse, as they are focused on their own community, but I follow one large and active community from my main Mastodon account, and it works really well (doesn't work properly from Firefish yet tho) and every now and then people will whinge about Mastodon and I will wave and let them know I'm following & replying to them from Mastodon 😊
I think the reaction against Mastodon that we're seeing expressed in your Bluesky investigations, while currently a common thing, will reduce as other parts of the Fediverse grow. And that makes me very, very hopeful.

The next big thing in Fediverse would be the full launch of git forge federation.
I already can imagine hundreds of "Hi, gitea, creating this PR from Lemmy"...

Never day never, but I don’t think this civil unrest on #Rexxit will ever get old. To me, at least.

Gods, I love this so much. #Rexxit

I am a absolutely digging all of this #Threadiverse energy. Well done, #Reddit.
In a world where new things are hyped as the next big thing, it’s smart to be skeptical of anything touted by big biz as the next big thing.
But big biz is largely silent on these moves. Which has me all the more excited. It feels like the level of innovation and tinkering that happened in the podcasting space 2004–05.
This wave, I think, is worth riding.

More positive ramifications from #Rexxit!

An exceptional (and quite non-techy) rundown of the rise and current state of the #threadiverse, thanks largely to the ongoing self-own that is the #RedditMigration (called #Rexit or #Rexxit).

John Oliver has joined the Rexxit conversation.
Lots of silliness to come, rejoice!
There’s a part of me suspicious, concerning the moderator takeovers, that it’s a traffic generating gimmick, perhaps even implemented and supported by Reddit staff.

I admit I’m a tech infant, but it looks like some genius scraped reddit, if that’s the correct terminology? #reddit #exodus #rexxit ? Brb off to find out what a .zst file is

There is no moral high ground for Reddit as it seeks to capitalise on user data - https://www.theguardian.co`m/commentisfree/2023/jun/17/there-is-no-moral-high-ground-for-reddit-as-it-seeks-to-capitalise-on-user-data

I know this is rock bottom level priority for devs but I'd love to see a burning alien emoji like the burning bird one: :birdsite:

Reddit leadership is moving to forcibly take our subreddits and our work. Let’s move it somewhere safe.
Let’s start to replace our Reddit posts with “This content moved to the free spaces of the Fediverse.”

The coolest thing I saw today was that some Star Trek subreddits just spun up their own instance at https://startrek.website/ and then I was like "Wait, can I subscribe to that on Kbin?" and yeah, I can... right here! https://kbin.social/m/startrek@startrek.website
Holy Shit. The Fediverse fucking rules, y'all.

@pieselpriemel The #Rexxit hashtag seems to be gathering attention :).

I hated starting over, but holy heck, now that I let everything percolate for a few weeks, I am amazed by how much MORE info is available on the Fediverse.
I'm honestly getting crushed under the weight of i!!
You HAVE TO curate your own feed, contacts and info on the Fediverse, it WILL NOT baby you. but when you discover the immense scope of what's been opened up to you it's better than every socmedia platform combined!!

IMPORTANT: Decisions on an indefinite blackout schedule until Reddit responds appropriately.
Obviously, the message has not been clear enough. Reddit still believes they can wait us out. They will not. Massive subreddits like r/aww are joining the indefinite blackout. Join us.
