First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

      Yeah, in theory. In practice you need to explain to users why they are being sent to a seemingly random site, which all have different rules that don’t necessarily align with what they are looking for. Plus some have open registrations and some you need to apply.

      And then there’s Beehaw, actively turning down registrations because they want to foster a certain community (which is their right).

      This all leads to a lot of user confusion.

          Yeah perhaps have a requirement that to be in the list you need to use the lemmy code of conduct rather than your own, you must have open registrations, and probably some level of no NSFW content or that sort of thing.
