"I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. [...] It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here."

@fresseng Looking at Bsky, it seems that the overwhelming majority are after follows and clicks and that's not what the fediverse is about. It's more about interactions and conversations. In some ways, it's like a modern version of IRC.
