Right, but that’s the issue. It can give them an extremist instance and they join and get banned and never come back. The instance matters, and they know that intuitively, which is why they have choice paralysis in the first place. We should help them choose by providing information about each instance.

you can change later
You won’t bring everything over
it won’t impact things
Lies! It will impact a LOT of things. Primarily your admins and federation. How could you possibly say that changing servers allows you to pick different admins (which is a good thing) but then say that the server doesn’t matter? Plus there’s server culture.
you can interact with any instance
Depends what server you’re on
I welcome our colon three posting brothers and sisters
No; “We can’t want X but be Y” is well-formed, like with any other verbs (eg. “We can’t swim but stay dry.”). It does sound more confusing, but the structure is the same. It means we can’t “want X” and “be Y” at the same time. I hope that explanation makes sense.
We can’t want the Fediverse to get bigger but be scared of normies when it does. I say welcome in! We should be mindful to listen to the new recruits, because their feedback is the most unbiased.
“Every topic” doesn’t necessarily literally mean like, illegal stuff

“general use” =/= “allows everything”
It is sad day
God I hate this attitude. It’s so obviously wrong and yet people fall for this trap again and again. Stop doing this please, think about it and you’ll realize it’s stupid.
Oh no

It’s a mindset thing. The more you interact with others positively while disagreeing, the better things will get. This only applies to reasonable disagreements.
People will learn more, but people will be wrong more. Unchecked political diversity drives away normal takes. No political diversity makes people afraid to voice disagreement.
Yes, that would be a good addition to the Lemmy ecosystem.
What I’m saying is, you can’t agree that we should help them avoid extremist instances AND say that the instance doesn’t matter.
