What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you? (lemm.ee)

By technical I'm referring mainly to ActivityPub/federation as well as the ability to host your own instances and related details.

I switched over when I saw Zuckerberg and company at Trump’s inauguration. I’m Canadian and had been mostly trying to ignore the shitshow going on next door. I didn’t know they were all supporters. No fucking way do i want anything to do with anything those fucks are offering. So the fact that I can still enjoy content and be connected to the world without making them more money is very appealing to me.

It took about a week to get through Facebook withdrawals because of the friends and family I had on there but it feels so good now without all the ads and bots. I made a last post before I checked out, explaining why I was going and inviting everyone to do the same.
