@thevhswizard@retro.pizza I suspect it's all about the general clientele that prefers to set up their social media presence in the fediverse as opposed to other places: Decentralized, yet (generally) interoperableMany instances aren't operated for large commercial interestsNot driven by the same kind of algorithms that drive engagement in more centralized platformsSmaller instances/communities can police themselves more effectively, meaning less chance of large-scale muck-ups by bad actors or bots (and if an instance is largely poisoned, it can be de-federated by others) There's a knowledge barrier to entry into the fediverse (choosing the best instance for you, learning how to find and interact with people on other instances, etc.) compared to centralized platforms. But for those who make the effort to understand, it often pays off.
