Whenever people promote the Fediverse they usually start with the philosophy of the technical side. And then go on to define it by what it is not.
That's fine. And for many that's how they came here. But is that really why most of us stay here?
For me the main feature of the Fediverse is simply that it offers me a lot of friendly, interesting and curious people that I enjoy interacting with.
