In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.
Being “harder”* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies’ services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.
- “harder” because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

It’s beautiful and I hope the rest of the internet has a revolution like this.
Idk much about servers or anything but I hope someone finds a good way to replace YouTube next
That’d be PeerTube, but federated video is hard. It’s very expensive in terms of bandwidth and storage. In comparison, hosting a mostly text-based website with very little embedding of images and no embedding of video and sharing it with the world is relatively easy.
