I want to write an article that answers the question ‘Why should YOU join the Fediverse?’, which would basically be an exhaustive list of arguments for joining the Fediverse, each argument linked (LINKS PLEASE!) to an article/publication that illustrates it. I'll translate it into several languages.

Can you help me?

The Fediverse is diverse. Do you want something looking like the original Instagram? We've got it. Just a Twitter-clone (without algorithms)? We got it too. Something like Reddit? Sure thing, why not! Something to track your books with? Yeah, that's around as well. Something doesn't exist yet? Don't worry, it eventually will! 😋

And the fun thing... Most of the platforms can interact with each other since they speak mostly the same language on the same network! You don't like the interface of Mastodon? No worries, go use Misskey or Akkoma or whatever! Mastodon-users will still be able to read your posts! No more moving to a nicer looking platform and finding out that all your followers have to move along too or you'd be shouting all alone into the void!
