Lemmy?

Is it surprising? There are specialists pushing nonsense to dupe people constantly, fake experts, real news branded as fake news. No one reasonably has the time to research every bit of news they see. The world is a weird place rn.

Yeah, this is my main issue too. Some kind of account container that could propagate round the fediverse rather than a centralised lookup would be better and more in keeping with the ethos imo.

Potentially instances could opt to load balance with each other in that case when usage rises.
