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 love the idea of online communities that are run by the people and not by massive tech corporations.

The idea that we had a free and open internet back in the day, only to surrender the entire thing to fascist corpo fuckwads like Musk and Zuckerberg, or hostile authoritarian government pawns like ByteDance, is a perfect example of the tragedy of the commons.

The Fediverse feels like our one and only chance to take the internet back on behalf of all people, all over the world.
