Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?

We are forming communities on the realized image of the internet that we were told we would have back in the 80s and 90s.

You can make your own home on the web and have your own niche community, not owned by any corporation, while still being connected to the wider internet.

This feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.

    That’s why I like this place. Feels very old school somehow. And it’s an actual protocol, like back before everything was the same handful of companies running everything with their own BS software.

      It really does feel a lot like the old forums are back, but now they can talk to each other. This should have happened a decade ago!

      The freedom of expression is relieving and oddly something I forgot existed. There has been so much censorship and polticial correctness that it has ruined what made the old internet fun.

      I would love to see Youtube be next in federation migration!
