It’s not the point of the article, but I think it nonetheless speaks to the power that the community-of-communities model provides.

The algorithmic content surfacing models are what primarily rot online interaction. Having all-encompassing is another cause. Letting people join communities with shared values, and those communities collectively deciding who they interact with, is a fundamental model of human societies since prehistory.

What are you saying here? Lemmy has algorithms too, and while it has some good points, it’s disappointing in lots of ways too.

Added: the article is mostly about Mastodon which is more pleasant than Twitter because it lets you listen to just your own selected coterie, also not entirely good.
