Judging by this you’d love the Fediverse Twitter alternatives, of which I use much more than Lemmy (Feddit). Here’s a list of instances, works similarly to this, except it’s Fediverse Twitter rather than Reddit.

The Fediverse is home to more open-minded individuals, so that sounds about right. All of us here just like chit-chatting about whatever we nerd over. ;)

Well, that’s where the decentralization comes in. There’s NSFW instances out there, just gotta find em.

My primary computer: (NOT LINUX) Windows 10, I know, shocking. Laptop for programming: It’s an old HP Pavilion from 2015. Linux Mint with i3. ThinkPad for fun stuff: Artix Linux. Big ass Cisco servers in my room: openBSD emulation.

Would be willing to answer any questions about the Fediverse that people viewing this post may have, by the way. Don’t be shy :)

I can most agree with the deeper and more meaningful interactions. Fediverse feels more interpersonal with others for sure, I’ve had huge threads in public Fedi networks where we get 20 people on a thread, just having some friendly conversation that you otherwise would not see on Reddit or Twitter.

I do highly recommend Mastodon! It is a great Twitter alternative, and is way more laid back at least in my experience. I use it as my frontend to the Fediverse on my phone as it is easier that way, but I prefer Pleroma and Soapbox otherwise. Still need a Lemmy frontend on my phone but, eh, not a phone user that much anyways.

The tight-knittedness (new word, yay) of many Fediverse applications is part of the reason that is a thing, and the decentralization a.k.a. private ownership by individuals rather than companies of instances means moderation is more meaningful and less robotic. The only bots you should ever see on the Fediverse are purpose-made ones. Examples are the gutenberg bot and various anime photo bots on the other Fediverse sites that are bots made just to post things, no farming incentive.

Completely understand the concept being a bit to grasp, but it should be noticeable to really anyone that it makes for a fairer internet forum than most. Also, I’m a huge fan of FOSS (free open-source software), so the Fediverse has always been a must have for me.
