As a researcher of alternative social media platforms, I couldn’t resist joining the #forkiverse.
If you’re reading this, I’d love to hear your story. What brought you here? What keeps you here?
@anna I had a friend who constantly brought it up (at the time it felt like another Google+ or MeWe). The Twitter downturn finally had me accept the suggestion/invitation to join. And I was hooked for idealogical reasons. 🙂
I’m excited about all the different facets of the Fediverse. Free software without paywalls feels like a playground to explore. It reminds me of the days of learning about alternative operating systems to Mac OS (period correct formatting).
The community movie night was also charming (sometimes—I’m not a horror fan 😅).
I appreciate the control I can have over so much of my experience.
