@nerdman @Moon Well, parallel communities will be created and they will overshadow the original ones and claim to always have been the original communities.

@xianc78 @Moon

True, but meanwhile the fandom will suffer.

Fediverse should go a LONG WAY in letting the process move forward from now on. The problem so far with communities reforming is the lack of decentralized social stuff.

I *think*. Never been part of a fandom or hobby.

@nerdman @Moon Yeah. I think hobbies were much more niche back when forums, chatrooms, and blogs dominated Internet discussion. Centralized social media has made these communities harder to gatekeep. Maybe decentralized social media could fix this.
