MODERATORS
Whether it's Lemmy, Kbin, or something that's yet to be made - I feel the fediverse is here to stay. Genuinely revolutionary step away from centralized services like reddit.
The paradigm of having a home base instance and being able to venture out into the fediverse is just incredible. There's a sense of community and comraderie that was never present on reddit. And yet there's a breadth of users and perspectives that you could never find on smaller internet forums or platforms.
Couldn't agree more, I really believe that federated self hosted sites have the potential to supercede the centralized internet. The fundamental experience is superior, and people will eventually begin to realize that.
Imagine an internet where nobody is trying to sell you something. Or worse, sell you (to advertisers). What a concept.
