Fediverse, the social media system for 40+ year old people who built the world wide web and regret it.

Yeah. A bunch of old out of touch uncs with no personality outside of nostalgia for old internet platforms they got banned from, racism and misogyny.

With inflated egos about how much they actually mattered (seriously, built the world wide web).

Such a healthy platform that won’t just slowly shrivel up and die.

I mean Facebook, Xitter, Reddit and friends are all but what I’d consider a “healthy platform”, and unfortunately they’re doing great.

Hell, 4chan perfectly fits your description and it’s still around. I think we’ll be fine.
