I’m more a fan of just getting people to start instances for their purposes than I am creating one for the broader world. I initially intended IDDQD to be for my publication projects but I kind of got sucked into the fediverse vortex. I may start another instance on a different iddqd domain name to just get a fresh start.
I don’t take fediverse “culture” very seriously, even though I love the technology behind it. I’ve had this idea in my head for a while that instances should be interest- or community-based. I’d really like to see instances crop up where the point of that instance is like… a gaming clan or something. A particular Magic shop and its customers. A particular knitting circle. That sort of thing.
