Yeah, because geddit.social and lemmyloves.art are super controversial. Meanwhile I’m on sh.it just.works and can’t interact with anything on beehaw and several others.

You’re absolutely correct though, everyone should join lemmy.world, because federation means “consolidating everything to a single instance.”

I am full-on 100% in the fediverse. Hand waving and dismissing any and all problems is not productive in any way. Everyone should be joining whatever instance they want and be able access anything that is available, unfortunately in its current state that isn’t really possible. Telling people it is and then completely dismissing my personal experience attempting to do that exact thing, while simultaneously making a strawman ad hominem attack will surely convince people that this is a warm, welcoming place.
