Do you guys think local only communities should be a thing?

I’m talking like communities exclusive to an instance where only instance members can participate in. This would be great for communities like The Agora.

not really, it would make some content very centralised which feels like against the idea of the fediverse.
But there could be some use cases like status reports of server but i dont really think it bothers people on other servers to see it.
Maybe for some chats of the server with the admins it could be useful but there i feel the matrix/mastodon/email option they offer is for that use case better, for the drawback of the need to change the platform.

I know that my POV is very negative about your idea so i would be happy about everyone arguing against me.

What if it’s read only access instead?

kinda makes a very “us vs them” mentality though… seems like it could easily lead to people being required to have accounts on big instances, or ad supported instances having “premium content” or something like that: basically everything we want to avoid
