Nostr migration will gain most or many of us as in the post
Gab freeforum: https://gab.com/groups/72118
Freeforum is on scored but kinda inactive: https://scored.co/c/freeforum
(edit: I feel Scored is kind of dead as it’s not federated, but it would be good to get people from there to Nostr temporarily)
ExplodingHeads backup Scored community (?): https://scored.co/c/explodingheads
We can migrate to other Lemmy or Kbin instances (recommended ones?)
Any other forums to check out from the Reddit Alternatives sticky?https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/

Federation is overrated. It sounds like a good idea, but it’s terrible in practice. I miss p2p. I guess we call that “distributed” now.
I know BDFL isn’t ideal, but if it’s based on FOSS, we’re good.
Take basic forum software, if shit goes sour, the community can always spin up a new one and migrate. Sure, you don’t get the greater web all mingling in the same place as is the case with federation (kinda) and reddit.
But really, why do we need the rest of the world? We can each have our own corner, sure, the circlejerk effect is real, but it’s also fun. If we want other opinions we can go visit those other people in their space. And, of course, there’s always the giant monolths of X, Facebook, Reddit, what have you.
No real need to have everyone be part of the same instance, federation, or whatever.
Federation is just a tool to make sanitized spaces but claim that they aren’t censoring anyone, when they in fact are. They’re perfect for creating sanitized leftist “utopian” spaces, and atrocious for freedom.
The idea of Nostr with full decentralization is a good one, the only problem though is that currently it’s a Twitter type format and even though it added communities it still doesn’t have any kind of frontend to access it like a forum, the ones that do are just hacks using hashtags as communites, which they are not, hashtags aren’t communities and they aren’t like communities. We need something equivalent to Lemmy but for Nostr.
