    Wouldn’t that mean everyone is centralized on the same instance? I don’t use Mastodon so I don’t know if it’s the same as here…

      Not everyone. Just those users who don’t care enough to be picky. I wish they would rotate the instances but this is better than nothing.

        Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

          Sorry, what do you mean?

          I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app

          Which would indicate that

          everyone is centralized on the same instance?

          is incorrect.

            Idk this whole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

              It’s a bit more complicated than that, but yes, that’s the gist of it.
