What’s the one thing about the fediverse that makes you go, “oh yeah, this for me”

For me, it’s the innovation. I like how unique the different services are on here and how unique each instance can be within that. It has a very mad-chemist, mix-shit-up-and-see-what-happens vibe that I’m really into. I like exploring new corners of the web and the fediverse is continually generating new corners to wander into.

    So I gave the official Reddit app a try again after all this time on Apollo just to confirm that it was still garbage (it is) and what pissed me off the most was all the “promoted” ads.

    Facebook, instagram, twitter, Reddit- just filthy with ads meant to hide in your feeds and look like real content that you are interested in - but it’s completely duplicitous. Like the sponsored links in google masquerading as real sites, it’s just trying to trick you and gain your attention, and by doing so gain your money. It’s sick.

    I don’t mind regular ads even - pitch me your product, sure. Just don’t try to sneak it into my life.

    So my favourite thing about fediverse so far?

    Haven’t seen a single ad. )
