I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

"harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

I'm loving the community feel of it, everyone seems to be here because they want to be here rather than just cus it's where everyone else is

I'm here because I want to be on Reddit, but the Reddit I want to be on doesn't exist anymore.
