Gatekeeping is good, otherwise you get Twitter users in your hobby.

@Moon Gatekeeping doesn't exist because there is nothing stopping anyone from joining a hobby.

Weeeell... Strictly speaking, yes, hobbies can't be gatekept. But the groups that form around hobbies (can those be called fandoms?) kind of can be.

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

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.
