    I’m kinda split on it tbh.

    On one hand, we have a literal ip spacing crisis - mainly because there’s bajillions of arguably repetitive content among other non scrupulous stuff.

    On the other hand, having a niche community has its pros.

    Totally agree with your analogy of Walmart though - but then there’s also things like FediNet which basically let people use a standard framework to hve their niches.

    It’ll be interesting to see what the future brings

      The IP space consideration is nonsense. You can put many small sites behind a single IP. Bigger sites end up needing tons of their own+cdns, etc.

      That and IPv6 is a thing.
