So I was wrong about my #Pleroma first impressions - it's not a 'lite' version of #Mastodon and my other account can access this mastodon FE that I prefer with just a single click. That's cool - Mastodon is just a way to get people into the #fediverse but I want to dissociate eventually from those anti-freespeech censors

Though it's important I've always wanted an instance that's general and something I could say to my friends. #GameLiberty is a name I can write off as a gaming-focused instance, but many would probably already yikes at a site named Free Speech E X T R E M I S T, and same (albeit for different reasons) for intentionally niche instances like smugloli, blobcat, absturztau and everything else recommended on that #fuckgab website that led me to this.

I guess this really just runs to the point of why the #fediverse won't gain mass adoption without a single instance dominating and succeeding on its own - it's completely contradictory. Even #email is giants-controlled, with literally all but a few of my classmates on #gmail!
