The Fediverse :fediverse: is great because I'm not compelled (or even expected) to use it everyday.

(Oh boy, just remembered this dinosaur of a hashtag: #fantasticfedi )

@allinone0
#fantasticfedi and #hashtag died too. #wellthatsucks

The Fediverse :fediverse: is great because I can talk about random Wikipedia articles and people still see my post.

Let's bring an old hashtag back... #fantasticfedi

This place seriously has a lot of potential! Looking forward to lots of pleasant interactions and finding new communities and peeps!! #FantasticFedi

I know I’m still very new here, but I can already feel the Twitter brain worms receding. The signal to noise ratio is so much better, and I haven’t rageposted at all. I knew I loved FOSS. #fantasticfedi

My favourite part of #FantasticFedi is its backbone community: the admins, moderators, Fedi software developers, and all contributors who take part in shaping this part of the web. One can meet all kinds of people here, but I believe the very nature of these networks attracts those who are curious, clever, creative, altruistic. There's a lot of rebellious spirit going around. At first it alienated me a bit, but I learned to cherish it and to learn from it.

One of the benefits of the #Fediverse over #Twitter that I'd forgotten: you're not forced to arbitrarily acclimate yourself to a dyslexia font.

@Linux_in_a_Bit It's difficult to say what my FAVORITE part of the Fediverse is, but this recent discovery has to rank among them (and I haven't seen anything like it yet in the replies).

#FantasticFedi

"So the day after I signed up for an account on Pixey.org, somebody on Mastodon.social shared one of my photos. And that's how I discovered that my Mastodon account can follow my Pixey account."

the #fantasticfedi is a place for me to learn, make friends and spend my time wisely. there are many people who spend their valuable time here to make it a better place. thanks to all who protect and expand this machinery. thanks also to the funders.🤘

My favorite part of the fediverse is being able to talk to people from all over the world and get their perspectives on technology, language, and a variety of other subjects. Beyond that, I love the bizarre, random humor that many people have, because it is suited to my own sense of humor. I've had occasional conflicts but they were good learning opportunities for me to be a better person. #fantasticfedi

#fantasticfedi My favourite thing about the fediverse is getting to communicate with people all over the world. And discuss things with them directly!

Never in my dreams would i have thought it to be possible. I mean technically reddit achieves the same, but all are anonymous there

@exodus34 it's part of #FantasticFedi man!

@Linux_in_a_Bit Freedom from corporate censorship and tracking. Open minds people with different perspectives. Freedom of speech. Ability to create local instances focused on specific communities. That people have to eat their own cooking, so if you want to be in an instance with heavy moderation, then you sacrifice your own freedom but others still have it. Or, if you have no moderation, you have to hang out with the sort of people that attracts.

@Linux_in_a_Bit

Fediverse is free, federated and full of cool people. You can socialize, chat, blog, share, host, stream, catalogue and much much more. All under your complete control and without any privacy compromise. Come join Fediverse, your own federated universe and bring your friends with you too

#fantasticfedi #fediverse #fedi

Some people on here are idiots who like to mess with you. :blobcatsweats:
That's why I like the amazing moderation features on many Fediverse programs, such as Mastodon. :mastodon:
You can block or mute entire instances or just singular people, you can use filter lists to block words you don't want to see, and much more. :blobcathyper:
#fantasticfedi

@getindor @Linux_in_a_Bit But with more clarity I think one of the beauties of the #Fediverse is that people are free to say whatever they want, including racial slurs, and at the same time, I can choose to join a community that will hide such speech, or decide to self-moderating (muting, blocking) as I see fit. Everyone wins and gets to say whatever they wanna say and see what they wanna see

#FantasticFedi

@getindor @Linux_in_a_Bit I love the #Fediverse because I can mute people who use racial slurs lol

#fantasticfedi

There are many reasons I like the #Fediverse, but most of them can be summed up in this: the #Fediverse allows you to make your social media experience exactly what you want it to be. Looking for a social media site that allows free speech? The #Fediverse has that. Looking for a website with wholesome content that blocks racists and hate speech? The #Fediverse has that too.

Describe what you want out of a social media community, and chances are you can find that community on the #FantasticFedi.

What's #FantasticFedi?

@Linux_in_a_Bit Actually, my favourite part of #fantasticfedi is that since it works like email, anyone can run a server for as many or as few people as they like, which makes for nice communities with their own rules, which can still interact through the power of federation. But I think that might be mentioned by others.
