His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

Thanks for the tip -- new to fediverse altogether and my most annoying challenge is the social aspect of finding people to connect with and making an interesting feed! Lemmy has been the easiest; right above friendica!

Yeah, Lemmy is good because of the topic and threading focus. Mastodon seems better for exploring lots of issues. I'm finding them fairly complementary, they cover different bases.

Still need something I can pull my IRL friends in with though. Pixelfed might work for people who are used to Instagram, but I think it's probably still a bit sparse content wise.

I’m starting to realize that too. I might be more active on one than the other but it’s nice to have them all because it seems like a fuller experience; I am starting to see how they are complimentary.

I think either mastodon or pixelfed. I’m sure we are due to get a specific crowd — just from the political climate at the moment.
