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

My take is that the fediverse is nice because it’s still in its pre-enshittification phase. Give it time.

It’s designed to resist corpo capture via interoperability… if it starts enshittifying, hopefully this will allow users to shift over without incurring too much switching cost keeping them in place

I know the theory, but it really just puts enshittification in different hands.
