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 I love the quirkiness, both in content and design, that comes with not having a centralised system. Also, the reduced hostility. I'm still likely to clapback at nasty replies, but there are far fewer of them. Mostly, I love the people. It's a more caring crowd.
I witter on endlessly about search and quote tweets, but the thing that's really worrying (for me) is that the fedi is falling into the algorithms trap. That's a very slippery slope, even if it's not about advertising.
@OutOnTheMoors I think about that too, it just seems like a way for some people to game the system
