Pros:

• less advertisements
• less bull shit / fake news
• less harassment / insults / hate speech
• less copy paste answers from chat gpt
• more authentic human interactions
• Decentralization there is not the one app / instance

Cons:

• less activity
• less niche hobbies / topics
• Sometimes unstable app or instance

Overall I think the pros overweighs the cons.

If an app / instance doesn’t work I can switch to another account and still access to the fediverse.

For niche topics I still use traditional social media. Don’t tell me I should start posting those niche topics community here. It’s frustrating to post into the void and noones react or read to it.

Auf Reddit ich_iel gab’s früher manchmal Kooperationen mit anders sprachigen ich_iels für kulturellen Austausch.

Wäre das denkbar wenn man im Fediverse sowas ähnliches durchführt?

Also wasn’t Germany that also adopted for some government profiles fediverse-compatible services?

The German Goverment has a Mastodon instance:
