Don’t like this article 😠 posting it in search of rebuttals. The word “moderation” is not to be found anywhere in it. Oops. Guess I didn’t read this closely enough 🤦♂️

The great #twittermigration worked out for me because I always thought twitter sucked, with its obviously made up trending hashtags and suggested accounts.
In the Fediverse, I find myself following interesting people and wanting to see what they post out of curiosity, and interacting with them in a genuine way. Kind of like old phpBB forums or the early days of meeting people on campus through Facebook. Maybe that’s not what most people are looking for, or maybe that’s not the narrative that marketing teams who pay for these articles are trying to push (caveat: I’m an Ars Pro subscriber). It’s really difficult to monetize the fediverse, after all.
The Fediverse has me interested in people I’ve never met. Traditional social media has me wanting to ignore people that I already know.
The barrier to entry is lovely.
