so i came out of the experience with a greater faith in fedi than i'd had before
like... facebook, twitter, bluesky, threads -- all of these will meet their demise sooner or later. probably sooner, knowing capitalism
but fedi? it'll still be here in however many years. for as long as there are computers on this earth capable of running the servers and people around to use them
that's the beauty of free and open source software
largely run by volunteers because they believe in it rather than some big corpo for profit
and this decentralized community control of the platform makes content moderation infinitely better, which fosters a more welcoming positive space overall
i think this is the most important thing to convey when trying to pitch fedi to people
it's not some corporate silo that'll enshittify and inevitably go away in a few years. it is a fundamentally different more prosocial and resilient way of doing social media
