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 like the no ads feature. I also like the diversity of information and content that bends left vs right.

I also like the lack of algorithm for the most part. It encourages exploration and investigation.

However, I miss some of the more active and in depth engagement that I found elsewhere. A lot of times for me personally, exchanges with other users are short rather than conversational. That could just be a "me" thing though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@StrugglingGuitarist I go back and forth with this, I do miss the private dms that Twitter offered, but in many ways I feel like that kept me from meeting new people and certain people will make advances in DM that they wouldn't make in a more public forum. I probably miss the easy search function the most. Lol I'm sure at some point we will have them, and we'll find a way to make it work for everyone that is safe and inclusive.
