im the opposite. I was mainly only on for play on discord and I did not have much time for that. I like won't move to a federated version unless it was really mature with rpg communities.

Yeahhh, unfortunately I have friends that I can't talk to anywhere else and won't move. I'm not in the UK so it's not an immediate concern but it seems to slowly be coming for everyone
