I’ve been asked on TV hits and interviews lately to explain why decentralized social media is better, especially re: Mastodon.

How would you explain the benefits of a platform like Mastodon and the fediverse to someone in just a few sentences? How would you make the argument that platforms like Mastodon allow for more free expression than big tech controlled apps?

Would love to hear people’s thoughts! Trying to make my arguments most effective

"Imagine accessing instagram from your already existing Xitter account. YouTube from Facebook. TikTok from Reddit. Imagine your content not being accidentally moderated by AI while hatespeech remains all around. Imagine your timeline feed not trying to manipulate you to buy something or interact. This is Fediverse!"

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social fancy meeting you here! big fan, read the book and everything.

this isn't at all what you asked for, but i wrote an essay once that might be useful in more of a bigpicture/media-industry context.

you might also find to check out (or interview) elena, who is kind of our resident fedifluencer :revolving_hearts:
