I believe the idea is like-minded people will join the same node as you. E.g. fosstodon, ruby.social, writing.exchange probably have people interested in those things. Or non-English speaking instances, etc.
Not to mention people interested in the same rules like nudity being outright forbidden or being hidden by a spoiler tag.
- maddyboo 6y agoThe biggest issue for me is that I have more than one serious interest. I don’t want to pick just one. I feel this design encourages monoculture and echo chambers rather than diversity of ideas.
- kixiQu 6y agothis is why it's very common for people to have multiple alts on mastodon, different from twitter where I basically only see alts for nsfw content.
- enneff 6y agoOn the contrary I think this design encourages a lot of different cultures to develop. Each instance had its own rules and etiquette, so the diversity of tone and topic across mastodon is greater than on twitter ime.
