What's the one thing about the fediverse that makes you go, "oh yeah, this for me"

For me, it's the innovation. I like how unique the different services are on here and how unique each instance can be within that. It has a very mad-chemist, mix-shit-up-and-see-what-happens vibe that I'm really into. I like exploring new corners of the web and the fediverse is continually generating new corners to wander into.

The same thing that made me initially love the internet, almost thirty years ago - the sense that I'm exploring a new frontier. Maps are few, directions are vague, equipment is sort of makeshift and not entirely dependable, but there's something new to be seen around every bend and over every hill. And the things I'm seeing - it's not some powermongers trying to herd me into an enclosure or somebody trying to suck money out of me, - it's just people doing whatever they're doing just because that's what they want to do.

I suspect it won't last - that the psychopaths will figure out ways to manipulate and ultimately ruin this place too - but for the time being, I'm reveling in a sense of adventure the internet lost a long, long time ago.

i am so excited, i feel like a little kid growing up with the growth of the internet. so much to explore, so much to improve but yet it is perfectly usable and working. I am just excited seeing all of this grow.
