    Social networks made and run by the community volunteers, instead of corporations, a safe haven to have a chat. That’s the main selling point, IMO.

    Another point would be that instead of a single authority (e.g. Facebook), there are many communities spread across different websites, you can easily host your own social network instance, connect it with the existing ones, have your own rules, etc.

      I typically bring up email. I can have Gmail, you can have Yahoo mail, and Jimmy can have his home made email server and we can all email each other.
