    100%. The best instance to be on is actually your own. Failing that, a small one where the admins are easy to get a hold of.

    Big ones that offer extra goodies might become a thing ala Gmail, but I expect they will vet and monitor their users so nobody has to block them.

    Edit: Annoyingly, I can’t respond to Kbin users,

      At some point they will change to whitelist, which will ban all single user instance as well.

        The root problem is that identity is tied to an instance at all. For a federated system, the lack of federated identity / single sign on is baffling.

          Well, it’s unfortunate, but it’s not baffling. It’s quite understandable that there’s no single sign-on for a system like this.

          If you want to have both decentralization and a shared “identity” across all of the decentralized servers then you’re probably going to need something like a blockchain to accomplish that. But people are already complaining about how complicated the Fediverse is, so adding a blockchain into the backbone will likely be challenging to pull off. Not to mention the knee-jerk reaction a lot of people have to the word “blockchain” or “cryptocurrency” regardless of what the actual practical application of it might be.

      Hard disagree. You’re stating a subjective opinion about the experience you want to have as a hard fact about the experience everyone else should have. You don’t get to tell other people what they like.

      Being on an instance that is well-moderated without you having to do that work yourself is one of the selling points of fedi apps. I am sure a huge number of people who signed up on Beehaw wanted exactly this.

        It’s very consistent on SDF, unfortunately. I can see in console it’s not sending any internet traffic on submit, and the users themselves are displaying on here without any @'s.
