Yup. I had never heard of the fediverse and so glad I got introduced to it with the added benefit of many others doing so as well (so there is content and activity here).
Particularly the emphasis on the importance of decentralisation and setting it up right so never again do we have to go through that loss of community and platform. It really sucked in ways equally rational and emotional.
The platform of the fediverse may continue but the loss of community is still very much a possibility. All it takes is hostile actors manipulating their way into control of a particular community and then they can shutter it or steer it in a direction of their choosing. Every community on every server is like a Corp in Eve. It’s easy to start an alternative but the specific community will still be harmed. But that’s life.
Actually so grateful for how things have played out. Discovered Lemmy, Tildes, Lobste.rs, RSS feeds for the rest. Ya, I’m over it now.

Which is the best? I like Lemmy but havent tried the others you listed. Are they on par with Lemmy or more populated??

Anyone got a Tildes invite they could spare ? It looks very interesting.
