Self-hosting is the reason I'll never leave, at this point. I found the Fediverse during the beginning of my journey down the online privacy rabbithole. My threat model has changed since those days, and continues to change, and will. The one thing the Fediverse makes possible, that no corporate social media platform can or will, is the reality of being able to host it yourself. Doing so puts your data in your own hands and no one else's.

@jaz The diversity of software stacks that cooperate in making it all works, APIs/protocols that anyone can build on (useful/silly bots, clients, servers, alternative UIs, themes, etc).

@jaz ❤️ tech.lgbt instance by @david where there’s real inclusivity for BIPOC & LGBT+

Feel it’s more authentic to connect with real people here on the Open Web vs. enshittified Big Social

Met awesome individuals like @Em0nM4stodon (when i 1st joined) due to shared interests in privacy & safety online for women and marginalized folx

So many more reasons than what fits in a toot 🔥

I LOVE the #Fediverse as there are no algorithms controlling what you see and no adverts telling you how to spend your money.

The #Fediverse is a much, much #BetterSocialMedia as our conversations are civilised...even when we disagree with each other, we do so politely and respectfully.

The #Fediverse is decentralised...it's owned by no one person and by everyone. Toots are moderated carefully without quashing free speech but still maintaining a safe space for us all.

#TellEveryone ❤️❤️❤️
