I don’t understand why you needed a whole new server to discuss the NBA when not only does every single instance have duplicate communities for the teams, but also fanaticus.social already holds the top dedicated spot for sports content aggregation.
I love that the federation allows this, but I don’t get why we need to endlessly keep spinning up more instances that already have way too many spaces trying to discuss the same stuff.
As I started to work with Lemmy and understand how it is implements the distribution of content through
the federation, I became in favor of having separate instances for topics and people. This would help reduce a lot of the political conflicts and avoid issues of people in one instance getting detached from larger communities because some.people in instance X don’t like some people from in instance Y.
Also, I wouldn’t want to have my “main” identity defined by or attached to any of my interests.
Lastly, I am sure that the people behind fanatics.social have good intentions, but the instance is still on 0.18.4 and it doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.
