The concern most people have is that signing up is hard (or rather, finding an instance is hard). If you're not quite sure what an instance is, you might want to watch the video above. Two good starter instances are:

lgbtqia.space (similar to bsky/twitter>, and
app.wafrn.net (similar to tumblr)

ActivityPub is just about the easiest thing to self host, too. Someone made a complete AP server in a single PHP file

... It's not true ? Like... You can easily switch instances and it's like that from years now. Why talk when you clearly don't know this protocol? Also you can have a solo instance and then you possessed all ur data.

yes an extraordinary way to convince me that your social platform is superior to the one i am currently using is to be extremely condescending and make fun of me on the internet that will definitely get me to use your thing

How so? Do elaborate. Maybe talk to Tim Berners-Lee, on ActivityPub.

I almost never post from this account, but with this whole #BlueskyIsOverParty thing going on I find it’s probably a good idea to suggest people make the jump to mastodon.social (1/4)

I would like to remind everyone that I DO NOT USE BLUESKY. Never have, never will. THE ONLY REASON THIS ACCOUNT EXISTS is so that when people search for me here, they will find this profile (and to ask people to join Fedi). Please follow me at mastodon.social/@GroupNebula...

Another nice video, though this one focuses more on weighing it against traditional social rather than how it actually works: youtu.be/YRJHIJy5Nno (3/4)
