I grew up in a very Conservative Fundamentalist Household. I remember my Dad giving these Apocalyptic style warnings about what would happen if Liberals, Queers, and Feminists were allowed to run things. Now I spend a lot of time in a space run by Liberals, Queers, and Feminists and I have to say, It's pretty freaking nice here.

That being said, no place is a Utopia, people are people. The cost of keeping safe spaces safe is vigilance.

I could make a list here, and tell you my opinion about what makes this place, a good place, but I would like to hear from all of you. What do you love about Fedi? What do we need to do to keep it a nice place? What could we do better? What do you think the future holds for the Fediverse?

@RickiTarr What do I love about the #Fediverse? I think I love that it is a a true garden without walls or borders for ideas, thoughts, and community building. Whereas traditional social media is simply a walled garden where one must walk a fine line or risk being exiled, the fediverse doesn't have that. Control is in the hands of the many and not the few.
@ablackcatstail There is something to be said about communities being held in check by the community itself, not the out of touch wealthy, politicians, or militarized police force
