We often forget what a powerful thing we are building here. Eugen Rochko just reminded us: this isn’t "social media." It is a social network.
That sounds like a small difference, but it’s huge. It means the focus is on connection—human to human—not on algorithms designed to keep you scrolling forever. That’s why the vibe here is so different. It’s intentional.
Think about it simply: We choose our servers. We set our rules. That gives us control over the experience and who we want to talk to. If you don’t like a server, you move, and your connections move with you.
That kind of power—the power to choose and curate your own online world—is an undeniable shift away from the giant companies that think they know best.
The #Fediverse is where we go to actually connect. It is where we realise that the internet should be about people, not profits.
If you’re here, you’ve already made the best choice.
