@thedisciple@mastodon.social I'd choose #Mastodon. Because:
- it's open, anyone can see all posts, without having to log in.
- it is decentralised. No one will ever own all of it. I could host my own. I could host yours.
- ppl are more interested in each other.
- there is a lot more alternative culture going on.
- there is more interaction. More trust. More equality.
- It's a lot less corporate.

I wrote a post about us, the Internet people. All of our hacky piratey DIY fixing and code snippet borrowing. I'm an ex muso and I think a lot of us from that early gen x generation did the tech pivot from the mid 90s on so we all built the Internet, it's ours. The Fediverse is so much a part of that alt culture, and so much a part of where at least some of the Internet future is headed.

Ppl of Mastodon. Please help educate the normies about independent, small tech and self hosting. Not only fancy stuff like docker/VS etc and home servers, but cheap shared webspace online, small CMS, wikis, favourite federated or OS apps, (mine are Masto, Lemmy, Grav, Jekyll, Ghost and others). Introduce them to what is actually out here. Try not to expect total purity! They want to be free, not join a cult 😎
😇
