@futurebird the thing that boggles me about the elitism aspect is that a lot of the people who say that have joined an instance where they can have a private little world as they wish. That's one of the reasons why I decided to stick it out on Mastodon when all of my Twitter friends left for other places.
How cool is that? It reminded me of the old "Usenet BBSes" back in the day where you had your own little town, but also access to the ocean of diversity if you wanted to access it. Like, in the Fediverse, you could work with people to establish an instance that is just for people like you... and instances are indeed doing this. We just have to look at how many instances setup a policy of blocking instances that chose to federate with bridged platforms.
