When the protest started I poked around the Fediverse and it was a ghost town and was a little concerned that Reddit might not have any competition. But since the end of June posts and content have been going way up, and the quality of the posts is way better than Reddit, even before spez fucked things up.

Nope. The content and community on the fediverse is so much better, and has improved immensely in the last couple weeks. It’s almost like the Eternal September never happened.

Considering the stranglehold that huge platforms have on users, it makes a lot of sense for organizations to have their own fediverse servers, with communities and access they control.

For example, a lot of governments use Twitter as a way to communicate in disaster situations. But since Elon lets anyone with a credit card have a check mark and bans people on a whim you can’t trust that the account is a real one or that it won’t be cut off in time of need. A Mastodon server would solve both of these problems.
