@[email protected] goes “beyond technical features” of the fediverse in her latest issue of The Future Is Federated newsletter:

“The people of the Fediverse - compared to people on mainstream social media - also exhibit a high degree of digital media literacy: they are keenly aware of surveillance capitalism, adtech, and the harvesting of private user data to train AI models.”

    #postoftheweek (season 1):
    The Fediverse has been teaching me how to be a better digital citizen. Actually, let me rephrase that: without the shadow of a doubt, the Fediverse has made me a better digital citizen.
