Stoked to be a part of the new community. Still have trouble explaining to my friends exactly what the fediverse is in simple terms without making it seem more complicated than it is

    • Reddit/insert enshittified service here: data stored by corporation

    • Fediverse: data stored by the community itself

    • Threadiverse: above, but presented like Reddit threads.

    • Why it's important: takes power back from FAANG and gives it to the people; allows you to store your social media with people you trust, including just yourself; can be studied or forked by users

    I know I've left out a lot of details, but that's why it's a simplification 😄.
