This is me as well. gen z, hate that trillion dollar corporations run our social media. The fediverse is the future.

I was told it was a lemur…

^ This is the best one.

This this this. The fediverse being “confusing” keeps the idiots, boomers, trolls, and overall horrible people away. Having to learn something new is too much for those people. Lemmy/Mastodon and so on are “nerd” platforms, and I really like it that way.

I like Mastodon, it’s fun, I can find pretty reliable information about a breaking news topic, and there are some cool people you can follow. But I really dislike furries and hate seeing their content. It’s like for every 10 cool people, there is a furry. Sometimes, a post will get boosted that I like. I go to their page and it ends up being a lot of furry porn/art. I really, really don’t want to see it, ever.
