I know it may be a lot of users’ first time using something that is decentralized like this. As I’ve been a Fediverse user for some time, I had been waiting for a big migration like this to happen as it usually happens with Twitter every now and again. Welcome to Fedi, hope you enjoy your stay!
i enjoy the lack of ads and the community, if smaller, seems more welcoming in the subre… instances? I’ve visited so far. but everything seems a bit laggy and it’s cumbersome to get into. but so far definitely worth the hassle!
As another commenter mentioned, you’ll notice more meaningful conversation can be gained on the Fediverse than on other social media platforms. Everyone here is usually willing to spend some time talking to ya if it catches their attention. Also, not many people delve into politics where it isn’t relevant. Just something I’ve noticed. People like staying on topic more and it’s great.
Definitely, one of the thing I noticed is that I brought up a rather contentious topic in open source related to the licensing and people engage in it very thoughtfully and diplomatically. If you tried the same thing on Reddit, it often become a toxic squabbles almost every time.
