My proposal concerns *new users*, it&#39;s in the title. I&#39;m not a new user any more and I have a bunch of post and comments to my virtual name (not that it&#39;s important, sure). But I now see that it would have been better if I had been pushed to another server when I signed up. Hence the proposal. 2025-11-01T20:26:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsylzj5g9uqrpzthmk0xv54kadafsv3pgy0nzyf6dnq462z4pt8dfgzyqpdhdq6puetvxcdht8qkqfhu3c4dne76tay2yu3vlqwy0kmzflvj7dy0q3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv3uv0l044qwtc2328tnn6x7f53x46c6a07pq5rqe46uac83apjsgjcrr6c'>nevent1q…rr6c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You&#39;re just saying I should practice what I preach and get off LW, is that it?

I have a proposal, perhaps not very original but I haven&#39;t seen it made often.<br/><br/>**Let&#39;s just recommend that newbies pick an instance that is located close to them geographically. That&#39;s to say: their country, their region, or (ideally) their town.**<br/><br/>Some context. Personally, I am not totally sold on social media, federated or otherwise. The evidence is now pretty clear that it causes major social harms. One way it does this is by fuelling polarization around hot-button national and international debates, at the expense of local issues. **Reviving democracy is going to mean boosting communities at a local level.** This could be a small way to do that. 2025-11-01T13:02:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgwqmsqnlxz8j7x38whrs3sm3y24mjaaf9tes6gxznzly95hqq0cgzyqpdhdq6puetvxcdht8qkqfhu3c4dne76tay2yu3vlqwy0kmzflvja732mp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy65srdrpwnhfsvx8wx9fk7m7k5wu84ttylyxgth9alycgdtqwfccnwgdu3'>nevent1q…gdu3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>But who&#39;s making these &#34;updates&#34;?

All that duplication of effort just to serve the vanity of the respective project leaders. The wasted potential for good software has to be huge. 2025-01-15T12:50:05Z
