People will literally create blacklists of sites, and if you don&amp;#x27;t follow the blacklist you&amp;#x27;ll get added to it. You end up in these situations where there are completely separate versions of the fediverse and the largest instances will often not be able to talk to each other.&lt;p&gt;At least before Elon bought Twitter I know the most active (depending on how you count metrics) site was poa.st, and this was on a mastodon.social blacklist, which was one of the other major sites, and every site had their own list. I know people would sometimes have 4 or 5 accounts so that they could talk to everyone they wanted or as insurance in case the current admin got bored and closed the site.&lt;p&gt;I of course support the idea of a federated reddit, but there are a lot of problems that exist in the community</text></comment>

It wouldn&amp;#x27;t surprise me if they continue to defederate any instance with open registration.&lt;p&gt;There are other programming communities on other servers that will likely become the actual replacement for r&amp;#x2F;programming.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: The &amp;quot;What is Beehaw?&amp;quot; post in their sidebar[0] is a really enlightening introduction to the community, and also quite interesting for developing an understanding of the fediverse as a whole. This isn&amp;#x27;t going to be a drop-in replacement for Reddit because the admins will all have very different visions of the kinds of communities they want to create. I didn&amp;#x27;t end up deciding to join Beehaw, but reading their post made me very hopeful for the future of the fediverse as a whole.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beehaw.org&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;107014&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beehaw.org&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;107014&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
