Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

@rysiek Yeah Fedi as a Twitter competitor. Nah. I love the small web 😞
@tammeeee I don't think fedi is a  competitor. It's different, and in many ways better. It scratches some of the same itches. But competitor it is not, nor should be.
