If you ever thought "Fediverse needs to give more control to the user", you should give Nostr a try.

No one server has control over your account or content there. The way it works is similar, but different, to blockchain technology.

Your account is a "key pair" consisting of a public key that just gives viewing access to your account and a private key that controls everything about your account.

Content is spread through "relays" similar to instances on Fedi. However, your account doesn't just get deleted or unaccessible if you get banned from a relay. You simply remove that relay from your list and continue on.

This does mean that moderating your own experience is WAY more important. However, that personally doesn't effect me differently because I host my own instance and have to moderate my feed anyway. It's pretty easy to avoid ridiculous stuff, but less easy than "let someone else do it for you".

If having complete control over your social graph and not having to worry about being "cancelled" is something you desire, you should give really think about researching Nostr. There's even a few Nostr-Fediverse bridges so you can interact with Fedi content!
