RIF was the catalyst, but since then, learning about the fediverse and its philosophy and potential has got me so excited about it. It could be a new direction for the internet, a way to stop the eventual enshittification of any site that gets popular, and it has so much room for innovation. There's already several "services" (I'm not sure what the best word is to refer to things like Mastodon and Lemmy) that use it in different ways, but I can imagine new ones being created to improve, expand on, and combine these ideas.
