At the moment the internet is flawed, do you think the fediverse is the solution?

Speaking of greener, less toxic pastures, what are you using as an alternative? Mastodon, Bluesky or something else?

[–] albinanigans@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I went back to Mastodon. Had to move my account twice more to find an instance a) I really gelled with, b) took the safety of marginalized people seriously, and c) did not hesitate to pushback against the hateful stuff.

It's been pretty nice.

> what are you using as an alternative?

I never really used Titter. My account was just a sock puppet that echoed my posts from my Mastodon account. I'm posting this from Mastodon right now, but I also have a Friendica account, and I'm keen to check out CalcKey. All of these, like Lemmy, are part of the fediverse and interoperate with each other.

(sorry if that's obvious to you but it's not to everyone so I'm spelling it out)

There's so many options I was paralyzed by choice for awhile! But options are great!
