      Ok, yes, but can we fix the issue where my Lemmy account takes like 10 seconds to load the main subbed feed? The more subs I add, the slower it gets. I got someone to try Lemmy, but they’re rightfully put off by how slow it can be sometimes.

      The fediverse is hostile to ‘professionals’, and missing several features bluesky has, it is not a good replacement for them.

        Couldn’t there be an association of professional societies that run their own mastodon instance and can control membership and federation?

        By ‘professionals’, do we mean Only Fans content creator? I haven’t tried hard enough to find them, but I assumed they’re here?

        I follow many professional scientists and librarians on the Fediverse.

        Beyond that - well those are the three professions that I trust to carry society.

        I don’t see a ton of updates from plumbers and auto mechanics yet, but I think that is just adoption patterns at play?

          No, we meant all professionals, we have seen journalists and actors be attacked. We aren’t judging whether that was correct or not, just stating that is something which happens.

          Edit: We just don’t really believe in the concept of professionalism beyond it meaning someone gets paid for something. Thus the ’ '.
