    The fediverse is as if you took X, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook and made them all interoperable so you could post anything from anywhere, and all your followers would be guaranteed to see it. And if you wanted to leave one platform for another, you could bring all your content, all your followers, all your everything with you.

    NO. NO, NO, NO.

    That isn’t what it fucking is at all! It’s not another open standard for five companies to abuse until they’re the only sound that you can hear because they’re drowning everything else out.

    I know they’re trying to appeal to the layman but, I dunno, try harder maybe?

    Not everything in life is about posturing and followers. The best parts of the fediverse are anonymous and unadulterated by corporate interests and having advertising rammed down your throat every 5 seconds. that’s what killed the open web.
