    Do you want the users from here to move to your chosen fediverse site? Is that what all of this is about?

    Go ahead - tell them where to find preferred site. And can people comment without having to create any account whatsoever? The last time I tried a fediverse site I had to create an account. Are there rules that people must follow and, if so, how are they better than other sites, including our own?

    How does it handle spam or abuse? Does it allow people to express different political views from yourself, without fear of retaliation? What happens to accounts that promote genocide, or publish CSAM, or advertising for prostitution, or post in languages that you do not speak? Or are you just benefitting from somebody else's efforts? What happens when such material arrives from another fediverse instance? How would you, presumably as an experienced instance manager, address these problems?

    When we discussed that topic here a few years ago, how did you contribute to it? Did you offer your specialist knowledge and experience?

    If your chosen site is successful, why do you even comment here? What does this site provide that your own chosen site does not? Why bother if there are better options elsewhere?

    We offer a variety of stories everyday. The main pages are full of intelligent discussions about genuine topics going back over a decade or more. There is insightfulness, specialist knowledge, even humour on occasion. It is a repository of information if you know how to use a search function.

    I would be pleased if others stepped forward to relieve me of the task. I have personal reasons for wishing someone to do so. But nobody has volunteered. I can handover my responsibilities to somebody else who can run the site better than I can, I am sure. Here is your opportunity to show me my failings by doing the task far better than you think I am doing it.

    Prove me wrong, either by volunteering to help or by walking away from the site in disgust for something better elsewhere. But, to be honest, I don't think that you will do either. It is much easier to complain continually, isn't it?
