The Fediverse died when the largest instance in the world blocked the second && third largest mostly occupied by Japanese users, as well as the one created for American alt-right(the last of which being demanded by Apple/Google). The top 3 still holds 15% each of total Mastodon traffic.
Last I checked, the Western or European parts of Fediverse had since been trying hard to distance, obscure, dilute and fight Japanese anime content, without much success. I suspect that's where your felt barrier comes from.

- snapcaster 3y agoThanks for the clarification, was very confused on why people would feel so strongly about anime
- numpad0 3y agoThis is also kind of how the conversation went, though. Each sides drew a line on the sand each and two crossed at a steep angle. The European side said that's impossible and the conversation ended. It was also clear that the European parts were pretty upset, if not felt threatened, about the volume and growth of Japanese users. They came in numbers, they speak languages most don't understand, they post content most aren't interested in, they themselves aren't interested in following European laws - well, that kind of sound like certain kinds of problem that happens IRL... e: also, however anyone frames it, it won’t change the fact that they put a lot of effort to keep networks segragated and fractured, rather than the whole unified and distributed.
