I just deactivated my Twitter/X account.
I will use Mastodon from now on.
I should have done it long ago, but I was hoping that I would be able to transfer my data from X to Mastodon at some point.
I guess that's not happening.
My next target would be to delete my Instagram/Thread account.

As a #discord alternative,
I don't see my see myself using nor recommending #revolt unless it becomes #federated
Asking people to switch to Revolt from Discord doesn't make much sense.
Yes, it is open source, and you might be able to self-host it, but it doesn't really solve the problem.
We need decentralization while still being able to communicate with one another.
Because of that, I believe #matrix would be a better solution.

Is free and open source gaming a thing? Or community driven?
If not, why not?
Tired of these souless over-optimized video games full of microtransactions.

Is it only from Google Chrome or all Chromium based browsers?

Mastodon is being developed by a non-profit organization.
Do you mean that Nostr is literally built by the community?

Yeah, if Nostr is valuable, I'm going to wait that it becomes more developed and diversified.
So far, I like the Fediverse, there's a bit of everything.
And even then, I find it a bit too pro-linux and things like that.

I'm assuming those are issues that could get resolved over time.
As for the community, I'm also assuming that they must be very tech oriented lol

So, if I'm understanding properly
Profiles/ids are 'serverless'. Meaning no instances.
And you choose where to send your content/messages to relays.
You could send to 1 or to 1000000 relays.
Can you still use Nostr without having your own relay?

What should I know about #nostr ?
How is it different from #activitypub ?
Which one is better and why?

Quoting and encrypted DMs are killer features that I would love on Mastodon.

The #fediverse serves as a reset of the state of the #internet
Internet 2.0.
The whole purpose is to gain our #power back over large #tech #corporations and #monopoly that currently have too much power and influence.
I don't think the goal is to destroy them.
Simply to rebalance the power dynamics.
