That's a funny paragraph to read from the people who can't leave Chat Control alone and keep trying to get it to pass every year.

@LukefromDC @jonah As demonstrated by the entire country in the last few weeks/months, the second amendment is worth exactly nothing.

@taylorlorenz People just dismiss it right away, and I never understood it why. Worst case they come up with excuses that they maybe heard from a person who heard it from another person's cat that it was cumbersome.

"It doesn't work, I hate it" has been a response from people with exactly 0 experience too many times and I cannot fathom why. They haven't even given themselves a chance to get angry at clumsy federation and they're already dismissive

@stefan (I have no idea why that link in the text counted as a quote toot, ugh!)

@rufustheduck I saw a few posts on the topic of "does the instance matter" and community the other day, might be interesting to read:

@rufustheduck You're fine with staying where you are. It is usually recommended to avoid Mastodon.Social because it is already too large and too generic — this can be a good or a bad thing, depends. A smaller instance may have a more useful local timeline for you to peruse, a more specific-to-your-interests one might even contain people you're more likely to mingle with.

With full migration not yet being implemented, moving is not really a good idea if you care about your posts.
