@jdp23 @atomicpoet @fediversenews it sounds like you're in favour of keeping Facebook, Instagram, and other networks as silos.
I believe an open social web is better for everyone. Implementing open standards helps everyone. Bigger networks have a lot more value for everyone.
If you want a small social network, great. You have the tools necessary to keep your social horizons private and protected.
*I* want to connect with people that I care about. It's not your job to keep me from doing that.
