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

PS: ^superscript doesn't work with phrases? at least not on preview^

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.
