yeah it’s definitely full of potential. i’m pretty hopeful about its direction but I worry that there needs to be some major shift in order to keep from being just a new reddit. i suppose you could say federation is that shift but the (unfounded imo) confusion around that makes it seem like more of a burden sometimes.
anyway i really enjoyed the start and end of this chat. I really do have to go to bed though, so i’ll say goodnight again and actually mean it.
people will adjust to federation and what it means just like they adjust to what social aggregation was when people joined digg and when they adjusted to the paradigm of segmented communities when the moved to reddit. it’s the social evolution of independent online communities, and it’s fascinating to watch it grow organically.
