they’d shed a lot of users who have people and communities they interact with outside of the main instance.
I don’t think they would…
There’s a weird idea that people need one fediverse account that federated with everyone they want…
If someone like .world, but likes an instance that doesn’t federate…
The absolute worst thing is they have multiple interfaces to flip thru. And especially since so many people use an app that lets them flip in an instance.
Maybe I’m just old, but I remember having like 20 different forum memberships and having to visit completely different websites.
It wasn’t a huge deal.
Defederation isn’t a deathblow, and having a couple distinct circles makes sense.
