I joined the #fediverse back in the days (2018, with my own instance) because I wanted an alternative. A real alternative. With a fundamentally different approach. Decentralised. Even when it hurts. (federation and decentralisation is complicated!) And I think we are on the right track. What bothers me are the people that want the Fediverse to be 1:1 copycat of centralised services and as that isn't the case declare it to be a failed experiment. I'll stay here. It's better. Is all.

I'd much prefer to discuss how we can make decentralisation better instead of discussing how we can attract TikTok, Facebook, Twitter users. The #Fediverse, due to decentralisation, can raise the price of abuse. Centralised services make abuse cheap. I want to drive up the costs of surveillance and abuse. Simple. Because when abuse becomes expensive, authorities have to justify the costs of limiting our freedom. See #ChatControl
