I moved from the facebooks/twitters/youtubes world to the fediverse (friendica + peertube) a year or so ago. People think that the fedivrse is a weird place or an empty one. It is neither. But you have to give it some time. Make friends, follow interesting projects, block the weirdos. Now my Friendica is an interesting place to scroll through from time to time.

Nice to see many people here. You have chosen a better path my friends! Let's keep it growing!

Maybe the best way to explain it is to offer an example of how someone who believes in principles somewhat similar to yours does it: Tibi Brastaviceanu sensorica.co/affiliates/tibi. Tibi, co-founder of SENSORICA sensorica.co/home, is gifted in building working relationships with folks from universities, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations who share his vision and collectively garner the resources to take on "open value network" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_val… projects.
