Having federation between different platforms is a double edged sword because on one hand, I want to explore and experience the different platforms the Fediverse has to offer like Calckey/Firefish. On the other hand though, I feel like it wouldn't be worth it because everything—or at least most things—are federated, so how much new content would I be seeing? On top of that, if I wanted to post something I'd have to choose which account I would post it to because crossposting would effectively be double posting which isn't fun for anyone.
