    I’m lurking and exploring the fediverse now, and I must say, federation does pull me back to the Internet Age of Forums. And it’s nice. Decentralization of the internet is the only way to preserve the Internet. I don’t want Reddit to be yet another Facebook, or Twitter, but here they are. And I can say for certain that centralized social media is one of the reasons. There was once a time when different hobbies has different forums, and we just follow whatever we like on the Internet.

    Federation is the old forum-based internet packaged in a new package for me, and I’m not even mad at it.
