I’m just curious if it is on the table at some point. I only see a small slice of beehaw when I’m logged in but the active participation feels like it is on a downward trend. Like, there appears to be ~700 on here right now. I know numbers aren’t everything, but overall engagement is important. I’m on several instances with different accounts. I’ve been gravitating towards my .world account because it is so active. I get a grouchy or rude reply still from time to time, but it seems like most of the trolls have gone or been removed. That instance seems to be maturing fast and growing some personality all its own. The server seems constantly stressed, but Ruud is holding it together. The moderation seems much more in check now too. That’s just my perspective. I’d like to see everyone come together again, but I am just one user.
I did the same thing, have one Beehaw account and one possumpat.io account for off-Beehaw activity. I did end up with some overlap because I’m forgetful, but it’s going okay so far.
I have accounts elsewhere that I enjoy as well that aren’t federated (Discuit, Tildes) and that’s good enough for me. I’d honestly prefer all these Lemmy instances to be separate and not federate at all, but I’m … a bit tired of the fediverse.
