and not just online stuff! it's also really good for keeping peeps informed bout locals events too!!!
i can't imagine trying to form a genuine general community with anything else
matrix? jank as fuck and only nerds will put up with using it. signal? no support for multiple channels. telegram? well a lot of furries use that too but nowhere near as universally as discord i've found
it was a critical moment in my gender identity journey and finding the place definitely steered me in the right direction
over the years i've escaped my abusive family and came to seattle thanks to fedi, met my best friend and joyfriend both through fedi, and formed a strong sense of community on the servers i host there
i was even in a book about fedi thanks to the work i've done!!!
i owe everything good in my life presently to the fediverse 🥹
nostr is a shithole full of fascists and other assorted bigots
on the mastodon servers i run we always have to block the fediverse nostr bridges that pop up on occasion because it's always just the worst bullshit imaginable being spewed from there
