folks are quite happy in the fediverse so I dont really see the "losing" here. if "losing" means not having to welcome an army of trolls taunting them as "loser gatekeepers" then lose away

The only way to stay away from trolls is running an instance at localhost without any networking. I thought social applications were meant to connect people.

I haven’t had an issue on mastodon with trolls yet. Seems like I’ve been able to connect with people, without really having to deal with trolls.

If that’s losing, then so be it. I’ll happily lose in a smaller community, with people I’d rather talk to.

Instagram is a more oriented community. I do not care about Facebook, but on IG I have a lot of likewise minded people. Making this into a more sprawling community platform makes sense.
