Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there's a viable alternative – the fediverse isn't growing.1 One reason why: today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities. ‌

Yes, i didn’t specify that because for me, it was obvious, sorry.

I‘m not sure you know how federation works. If one person subscribes to a one person instances community, that community gets federated. It is suddenly visible like it is on the big instance the one user came from.

It’s not important that your instance is small. You need good content.
