Yes! I am really pleased to hear that. He really unpacked it very well. But the other ones, especially the psychologist (of course) keep on talking about "the mental diseases"· out there. What in the actual fuck. Pills and shit. Well....friend...look at society and what these platforms are incentivized to do. The comedian was more of a scientist than that psychologist hehe. :D

Can't thank enough the communities of Fediverse for bringing these awesome projects to the world, feels like a fresh air after all the big farty ad spitting dumpsters :grinning squinting face:
I personally admire an ability to choose between literally dozens of the ways to communicate by selecting specific implementation like Mastodon, Friendica, Pleroma, etc. with all the different ways to organize news feeds, size of the messages, etc. and after all staying connected with all your peeps which may choose another project to stick with and all of that because of the unified protocol. This is fuckin amazing and liberating..
